How are you getting on with this unit? Even though I have a TMC Tile which set me back hundreds I've decided to get one of these because I'm hoping you get better tank coverage. That reaches the corners.
Admittedly I did buy this one by mistake, I actually wanted the 602 but hey ho. You can't...
What is the general method of knowing if an LED is suitable for any given tank size? Watts mean something to me and I can have an idea of what is good enough but with LED's I dont have a clue what is good and what isnt.
Ive just had a look on youtube for some examples of 1000nd tanks and George...
Im not dead set on anything yet, Im hoping to get a setup from scratch that fits my needs. I cant really justify hundreds on just a lighting unit but if thats what is necessary then thats what I'll do.
At this stage im trying to gain advice on what works so I can get it all right when I come...

Unfortunately I dont have the means of suspending it from above so I think I'll need one that clips on the side.
I dont really know what wattages to go for and what sort of unit to choose. Given the fairly...
Hi All,
Dont worry about answering, LondonDragon has helped me out. Ive gone for an external unit that can be attached to the underside of my lid and provide 2 x 28w T5's aswell as my current 2 x 18w T8's. I'll see how I get on.
Not sure where I'll place the power unit though??? I'll guess it...
Hi All,
I have a Juwel Rio125 and have become more and more convinced that it has been designed without aquarium Plants needs in mind.
I currently have the 80cm Lighting Unit with 2 x 18w T8 Bulbs...Which are Useless.
I have considered paying about £100 for the 2 x 28w T5 Lighting Unit but I...
