    Help with lighting suggestions

    Never heard of that light do you have a link?

    ADA Solar I

    Going by these looks like it will do a slightly larger tank just fine with planting everywhere.

    ADA Solar I

    You'll probably do alright as long as you focus plants in the middle.

    Adequate or insufficient light

    Probably too much nutrients as well. I don't understand if you have 20 ppm nitrate why you would need to add more with EI.

    New ADA light: Aquasky RGB

    Yeah I have one and like it. I don't really have anything to compare it too as when I was keeping tanks before was still on T8s/T5s mostly.

    Light recommendation please.

    RGB probably better mate, if you have CO2 and ferts. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Light recommendation please.

    I think Twinstar do some with adjustable legs.

    cheap light???

    It'd probably work ok but you could always sell these and buy some grobeams of course or whatever else you wanted.

    Can make a decision on new lighting

    Twin T5 should be fine. Four may be a bit overboard unless you can keep ferts and co2 right in balanace.

    cheap light???

    I'm not sure but I think I heard that floodlights take different lamps to aquarium ones, so if you bung aquarium ones in you have problems with UV or something? I'm not totally sure and I know you can use some. Also I'd think 150w over a 60L tank would cause you a lot of problems.

    Disaster with my Giesemann Infinity lights

    I wouldn't say it looks that cheap myself and I'm pretty sure it blows pretty much every other T5 unit out of the water, at least at this price range anyway. Not sure how they get them so cheap, I mean they're cheaper than arcadia for god's sake!

    Disaster with my Giesemann Infinity lights

    I can vouch for the sunpower it's crazily good, I have a 6 tube 39w over my marine tank and I know somebody keeps even the most light demanding corals under just 4 tubes! Not sure about using this much high power lighting on a planted tank though really, although I guess you could, just...

    Metal Halides

    Re: mteal halides The T5s are there mainly for Actinics which are used on reef aquariums to supplement the light coming from the halide.

    Where To Get 15w Ballasts

    Perhaps an excuse to upgrade to T5s? It's just they're easier to source.

    Lighting for non co2 tank

    SuperColey it was 1 day and 18 minutes. :lol:

    Lights that have ripple effect

    Same but not anywhere near as much as other light I imagine. However yes you'll be looking at Metal Halide or LED's if you want the most ripple. Metal halides are inexpensive compared to LEDs, produce lots of heat and cost a lot to run. LEDs are expensive, but produce hardly any heat and cost...

    replacement lights for rio 180

    For the cheapest solution you want to check out the Hagen Glo-T5HO Luminaires. You can get 2 x 39w for £50 on some sites without bulbs. Then you can choose any regular 39W T5 bulb you like!

    Interpet T5 Gone Kaput

    Chances are the bulb has gone and if you are serious about plants you should replace the bulbs at least once a year anyway because they loose their spectrum.

    LED lighting over planted tank...

    To be honest I like it a lot but I suppose the real thing looking brownish might be irritating.

    Budget tube for Juwel Rio 400?

    Pretty sure Juwel Tubes are unique. I heard other companies were going to make them but I'm not sure yet.
