Hi everyone,
I need to replace the T5 tubes in my Aquamanta 80 tank, and was considering changing over to LED lighting. I have been reading the threads about LED lighting and perusing the massive selection of systems available on the web but I am struggling to choose a suitable replacement. Currently I have 2 x 24w T5 tubes in an array in the centre along with a front and rear flap to form the hood. I don't have loads of space in the hood as the light array nearly touches a glass brace, so the lights would have to be mounted onto the sides existing array. Can I just buy a LED tube to replace the T5 tube or do I need to buy something more like the TMC GroBeam 600 Ultima Single. If I bought the TMC light how many would I need for a 80x40x50cm tank? Currently I'm running a low tech plant set up with liquid ferts and liquid CO2. I'm not planning on changing to a high tech set up, so I don't need lights that will suit a future project.
