Anyone used this?

Hi guys,

Anyone used these lights before? I want to upgrade my lighting. This seems decent. It would leave tank open topped, and the lights would be higher from the surface so I may get plants growing up.

Hi Martin, I'm using the 90cm version over my optiwhite it's a good enough light for me managed to grow all types of algae 😉

 

[Martin cape]

Haha.

Well it can only help me. It will be combined 12W lower and lights would be about 6cm higher.

Long as your co2 ferts distribution is all sorted mate. good enough for the money IMO.

 

[Martin cape]

Can by normal T5 bulbs too. Instead of bloody Juwel ones!!

 

[tim]

Too true mate, could be suspended higher if needed with light hanger or brackets etc

 

[Martin cape]

Yea. I seen they sell the suspended ones. But looked like they only supported the 4,6 or 8 tubes.

I've got two sets of these and they are great value for money, I would recommend them.

Yeah think so mate tbh it's fairly ugly so I'd probably DIY one or look at a na light hanger from freshwater shrimp not much more expensive. Think they sell their hanging kit seperately though sure it could be adapted to hang the two tube light.

Anyone got any pics of their tank with these on?

 

[tim]

First pic in my journal in my sig mate, just to clarify its the light hanger that's not so sleek unit itself is not too bad mate.

Looks quite good that. I like it. Gotta save the pennies now. On the plus side. Be able to see my Juwel T5 light unit 🙂
