Happy Friday everyone!
I need suggestions, because I cannot decide on my own
I'm looking to do a mini upgrade to my 1 bulb fluorescent lighting. I want to keep it at the "low light" range, so basically whatever I can get that doesn't need Co2 dosing. I really do want to mess with that yet. I will be buying this glass canopy for the tank:
Aquarium Hoods & Canopies: All-Glass Twin-Tube Versa-Tops
Here's where I'm torn: Between a T8 double bulb fixture, or this:
Coralife F/W T-5 Aqualight Double Strip Light-30"
Coralife F/W T-5 Aqualight Double Strip Light-30" at Big Al's Online
I'm concerned with the legs of the Coralife not fitting with the glass canopy, and I have no idea if I can place the Coralife fixture right on top of the glass. Also, I'm concerned that T5 lighting will push me into the mid range zone and force me to get Co2. I don't know much about the T5's and can't tell if this one is a T5HO or a T5NO...hopefully an T5NO.
Any thoughts on this?
