120cm / Hi Tech / £300 budget

[GDM]

Dear all,

As per the title I have a 120cm x 50deep x 45high braceless on order. This will be running c02 and Aqua Soil

I have an Arcadia Classica OTL-LED Light Unit Freshwater I picked up from Swell for £275 which seems to be a bargain. The timer issues are document on Simon Day's Journal but given I plan to suspend the fitting I can utilise the channel timer and adjust intensity by raising the fitting when first establishing the planting

Question is at £300 budget can I do any better?

Thanking you in advance

Garry

2 of these and inline dimmers are less than £200

but if you already bought the otl-led you may as well use that and save money, even if the controller/timer is a bit faffy
+the otl is much better looking
