Moving over from salt to fresh. Been running a reef tank for 5 years, but a house move meant selling up and restarting. I've a new tank ready to start the project, a 450 cube.
Reading many articles and reviews, I'm unsure which way to go regarding the light. I don't want to be restricted in anyway in terms of what I can plant, so ideally I want a light capable of dealing with all plants, ideally controllable so I can slowly ramp up my schedule. I will add co2 from the off. Budget can probably stretch to £250.
Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I think I would prefer a strip type LED across the full width of the tank, but should a pendent style be more appropriate then of course that is the route I would take.
edit:
Short list drawn up so far today:
Twinstar 450SA
Kessil A160
ADA Aquasky 451
AI Prime 16HD Freshwater (like the control features)
Thanks in advance
