    Water Change Pump

    T5 for Rekord 70

    I am looking to fit some T5 to my Rekord 70 tank now. Currently I am using a single T6 on the original Juwel hood. Can anyone suggest anything. I think the Hagen Glo T5 2x24w would be way too much for my tank. I dont currently have presurrised CO2 either, I dose daily with EasyCarbo.
