Hi all,
I'm transitioning to a 60x22x28" aquarium, the tank used to have 4 x T5 lights, however as one ballast was playing up I decided to switch the front to LED, I purchased an 148cm Interpet Tri Spec light which was recommended by my local aquatic specialist.
I do intend to add CO2 and a blend of substrate, which I'll also ask for recommendations on.
However is this light known to anyone and can anyone provide me with some guidance here please.
I've spoken to another company who has said it's no good, just based on the brand (yes I know there will be better lights available) I asked then about PAR to which they said it was irrelevant, as watts per litre were more important. This really confused me as I'd expect this to be compared mainly by the depth of the water the light was penetrating, so if the tank was half the depth but twice as wide, I would have expected it to have some affect.
Any help is welcome.
Mark.
