    Hey hey, The eternal question once more. What light unit for another 60cm in the house? Currently i'm running two sets of Aquabars (one white one colour) on the other two but now I've found out that TMC are no longer making Aquabars and the supply around the place seems to be drying up I'm...

    Flexi-M Mini LED

    Hi, I'd actually dismissed this lamp after skim reading else where it wasn't up to much. But i'm seeing more advertising with it over what I would call higher energy scapes. Not seeing much discussion here on it. Anyone using one? Impressions? Found some tech details on The Aquatic Plant...

    TMC Aquabar Colour Plus

    Hi, Do we have any more details on this product yet? I've seen Ian H's video on the colour rendition (no info thou) and some listings on sale sites but the actual spec re: spectrum and LED's used is somewhat lacking. Nothing on TMC's site. Am I to believe this is a similar model to their...

    TMC Horizon

    Hi Folks, I'm looking for LED's for my lovely new Clearseal Edgeline 90cm and since it's going to be in the colder end of the house (I'm also 200m up in the highlands) I figured that a glass lid will be needed to minimise heat loss. Thinking about this more and looking at the lighting part of...

    Have we got any good nano LED ideas yet?

    Hi, I've kept checking now and again on this area of the forum for good LED lights (cheapish) for a 30cm cube project but not seeing any decent leads.... Can anyone pint me in the right direction? I'm doing three tanks so it has to be with a budget in mind. Lights that have been proven good...

    Moonlights

    Hi, I'm currently setting up a tank for a public place where I want to add moonlights for optimal viewing time, while reducing the photo period to something sane. Any suggestions on moonlights for cheap? (prebuilt) I see the LED strips on ebay but I keep reading stuff about them failing...

    PAR vs PUR - Latest Opinions in Planted Tanks

    Hi, I'm in a discussion with a well know budget bulb supplier (i won't mention the name out of politeness) about some T5's i got the other day. They were noticeably dimmer to the naked eye so I decided to get my PAR meter out and do a little testing.... They are coming out 15% less PAR then my...

    Cheap light needed for non plant/algae growth.

    Hi, So kind of the opposite of what people are usually asking about here. I'm looking to upgrade/downgrade the lighting of a tank that will not be planted (anubias at a stretch). With a high bioload i'm trying to minimise the algae by minimising the lighting. But i'd like to still keep it...

    lighting a rio 180

    Hi, I'm currently trying to refit a rio 180 and am having no joy with this fluval*see below* 100cm 2x45w t5 ballast i've bought. The second replacement has arrived and still does not work. Bulbs flick on for a second then out again. I am now thinking it might be the very expensive fluval bulbs...

    Nano Lights

    Hi, I'm ponding on what to replace my 9w arc pods with and can't find any alternatives in the shops. ebay has some 11w things on flexible arms but i'm sure there are some cheap fittings similar to the dennerle one that broke on me out there. A nice ADA knock off possibly. :D Anyone got any...

    Dennerle t5 24w

    Hi, Has anyone reviewed these bulbs yet? I read and have been told they have long life without intensity reduction saving constant replacement (i currently use arcadia t5 plant bulbs). Is this true or just marketing? What about the colour spectrum? is it similar to the nano lights (amazon...
