Chihiros CII RGB

[Cjbear087]

So I plan on picking up the Chihiros CII RGB light for my new 16L aquarium which I will be using with CO2. I really like the look of this light but cant seem to find anything on the PAR so I was wondering if you guys think this light will be good for ANY plant I throw at it? I dont want the light to be a limiting factor in this tank. The dimensions of the tank are only 25x25x25cm so not very big at all. Thanks

The light is absolutely not going to be the limiting factor in this case, will be more than sufficient on that size of tank

So its more than enough?

Oh yeah, you shouldn't struggle to grow any plants with it, even the ones classed as advanced by Tropica.

Plenty of really good examples of high tech tanks with this light on YT as well.

Perfect. Thanks for the help

@Aqua360 Ok, so I have just changed my mind and think I am going to go with the UNS 30C (30x30x30cm) so do you think itll still suffice and not limit me in any way? Thanks

I don't have the PAR info but I'd be confident it'll more than suffice. Check out MJ Aquascaping on YouTube, he does a review of the C2 and C2 RGB 🙂

Just checked that video out, it seems that he uses it on a tank similar to mine so no worries there. I was also looking at the WRGB 2, quite a bit more but a few people I’ve been asking say I would basically never have to upgrade

Can't see it limiting things.

Wise decision, for a slightly larger tank you have almost doubled the volume, which is good.
