Lighting suggestions

[Wolf89]

Suggest lighting for my 6 ft long tank please! I really, really like eco tech radion tank mounts, but they are expensive, and I would need three. Does anyone have any suggestions of lights that are similar? This is for a FOWLR tank. Please tell me how many I would need.

Chinese black boxes are cheap and some people swear by them.

why would you spend that kind of money on a FOWLR tank system unless you planned on going the coral route later on. Maybe a basic T5 fixture or some of the orphek bar lights.

You don't need to spend that kind of money on FOWLR lights. If you have a hood, then get a 48 and 24 inch hydroponics T5 fixture (2 bulb) and put some reef lights in them. Use the bulbs for 3-4 years or until they burn out.

If you have to hang something and you want it to look nice, then get a pair of the 32inch Chinese Black Box units.
