Tank Lighting Upgrade?

[Sambob]

Hi All,

I'm new here so dont shoot me down...Just Yet

Just wanted to know whether there is any kind of lighting updgrade available for a Juwel Trigon 190 Corner unit?
Currently in the tank I have got 2 Tiger Oscars and a plecostomus, the plecostomus which is now 5 Months Old along with the Youngest Oscar and the Eldest Oscar at 2 Years Old.

I Previously use to have a large selection of cichlids, Unfortunately due to other commitments at that time I had to sell them on after 3 Years of ownership

TIA,

Sambob

hiya,

when you say upgrade what do you have in there now?

i recently changed to T5 glo running arcardia bulbs and the plants i put in couple of weeks ago already have new growth,well happy after 3 yrs keeping tropical fish and keep buying plants to replace the dead ones!!

Hey,

I have currently got the original lighting unit in. The only thing i have changed was rear light for a blue one instead of white...Has improved the appearance of tank but im looking at changing the whole thing for somthing a little better. I'll take a look at the T5 Glo now...Thanks for the response

T5 hagen glo is the full name of the starter unit and cheapest place i found to buy was ebay for it.

when i looked into lighting i found jbl website had a good guide on how may tubes from 1-4 tubes and what colours,brightness for if your keeping just fish,just plants,both and even reptiles,etc,if i can find it again il try post a link for you.

ive gone for twin tube set up with a plant bulb at the back and a daylight tube at the front,looks nice the fish look great and plants growing so all in all think i done right!
