[Crossocheilus]

How many tmc 1500 ultima daylight over a 90x45x50 with co2, ei, good flow etc, I want to be able to grow hc etc if I want.

Thanks in advance guys![DOUBLEPOST=1402834177][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and what are your thoughts on the colour rendition, I am torn between these and a 4 x 39w T5 fixture, this have dimming, T5s have colour flexibility with changing bulbs
arhhh decisions decisions!

I'd say 2 would easily be enough for a 90 tank as they give a good 120 degree spread. The colour rendition is perfect and everything looks very natural.
Cheaper on electric too

Thanks for the kind words that'd very nice. Glad my journals were a nice read..

The dimming is very very handy and with the option of having a tile dimmed to 1 percent right through the night acts as a fantastic moonlight

THAT. Is an amazing idea. Ever find that your controller makes a constant 'beeeeeeeeep' sound when the lights are at low percentages though?
