Hello guys.
So still in the throws of planning the last item for my 160cm Discus tank, the lighting.
Had great success on my practice tank with a Chihiros A plus Rbg. Was kinda set to go with a couple of Vivid minis on my new one. Tank will be heavily planted but with only easy growing plants like crypts and java ferns so I'm expecting that these would be more than sufficient.
Vivid mini hits all my criteria, having a lot of customization, black hanging bracket with cable management (important to me, I hate cables and the black hides in with my background/setup) and by all accounts great colour rendition for showing off them expensive fish however when doing a Ali express nosey I came across the Z400. It seems semi similar to my untrained eyes.
The Z400 seems to be slightly more powerful and with added UV, also slightly cheaper. Was tempted to go with these but was hoping one of the more techy guys on here would give it the once over and tell if I'd be making a huge mistake.
Thanks in advance.
