Which Kind Of Light Do I Need

[fishytrevor]

Hi there

My wife has just purchased a 90 gallon tank with coral and several tropical fish inside. Were new to this and havent got much of a clue really.

We have figured out the filtering etc but the chap that came to fit the filters said we really needed a proper light for the health of our fish and coral, at the moment it is just a strip light like you find in your kitchen. Ive done some looking around and just dont know which kind of light I need, although we are keen to have an LED light to help lower our carbon footprint.

Ive found 2 uk sites ( http/www.greenlights.org.uk and http/www.aquariumledlighting.co.uk) selling pretty cool lights but would like to know if anyone has bought a light from them and whether it was any good. Some of the lights are submersible is this correct and why ?

Anyway thanks for any help you can give me

hello fishytrevor

if you could upload a pic of your tank that will help the more experienced members on the forum guide you in the right direction

are you sure you have corals has they are soley used in a marine aquarium where light makes a huge difference
