I am upgrading from a 75 gallon, traditional rectangular tank. The one I have is is 48" wide, about 18" deep and 20" tall (or so). I have T5 lights: I think 55w X 4. I am getting tired of this setup, and the tank is looking like it is about to start leaking on one of the seals, so I'm using this as an excuse to upgrade...
UPGRADE: I am going to switch to a rimless tank setup, and switch to a square tank. The one I am looking at is 93 gallons. 30" wide, 30" deep and 24" tall.
My question is about lights. What do I need to be looking at for lighting? The light I have is not only too wide, but evidently it is not the type that is made for a rimless tank (I am assuming because it would not handle the moisture from the evaporating water).
I don't mind if the light hangs from the ceiling above or if it suspends above the tank somehow.
