Hi,
I have a 60cm x 21cm x 21cm aquarium currently stored in the loft. I think its about 26litres (probably about 20L with substrate & decor). Would a 2 x 15W T8's be too muich light? I'm going to run a eheilm ecco external and pressuirsed c02. I want a HC carpet with shrimp & maybe 2 ottos.
Cheers! :)

Its not too much light if everything else is dosed accordingly, I had 6x24w over my 125l for months without any problems, most people would say it was too much light but I just wanted to test it out, as long you have plenty of CO2, good flow and dose ferts accordingly then there shouldn't be a problem. Also you can always turn one bulb off!
