I'm currently buying all of the bits for my new tank, it's 36"long x 24" wide x 30" deep. It also has a complete glass top.
I'm looking for suggestions for lighting with an aim to grow low light plants and I'm getting a bit confused!
I think the best option is probably dense matrix led lights due to their penetration through the water column. The obvious option is Kessil, but I just can't justify the cost of a pair.
I have looked at the TMC lights but they seem lacking in power, the next option is AI prime freshwater, but they're not much cheaper than the Kessil.
Another option would be to use a more diffuse light such as the Fluval 3.0/twinstar/chihiros.
I'd be happy to diy something but it would have to look reasonable.
For some reason, the whole aquarium lighting thing feels like a total rip off!
