with my co2 gear as good as sold , i will be converting to a soil substrate tank very soon . im not sure the best way to go with regards to lighting though . the current light unit i have got will allow me to either have 1x24w t5 or 2x24w t5 . problem i can see with that are that with 1 tube all the light is at either the front ot the back , depending on where i have the tube , id like an even spread but fear 2x24w t5s may be too much light for a tank with no co2 injection . id rather not go out and spend money on swapping lights to t8 . would using both t5 tubes be too much , and if so would using both and diffusing the light a bit with floating plants be ok ?
