Wow. Completely amazing. Do you have any suggest on light fixtures and bulbs for my 5 gallon planted aquarium. It only has dwarf hairgrass as of right now. If you could leave a url of the light fixture site. Or a name. That would be awesome. Thanks!

Gorgeous tank! I'm going to be building a 75 gallon this summer, and I hope my tank can even come close to the beauty of yours.

Check the good doctor's out. I'm not sure of the length of a 5 gallon, but I'm sure they(drs foster and smith) have just what you need.

i need to replace my turtle light for a new light fixture that will help my freshwater fish aquarium. while reading your post, btw your tank is AWESOME! nice work,i came across some newbie questions:

what is the difference between T-5 and a PC?

Why do you have two different bulbs? at different wattages?

i went to the website you suggested, but i am hesitant because there may b something better than what i'm looking at.

"the guy at the fish store" told me he didn't like to use flourescents.
any reason?

if you, or anyone reading this has any suggestions on lighting my 24 inch tank please let me know!

keep in mind i can't spend $200 on a light fixture. i'm thinking $150 at most.

please help

thanks

How much light are you looking for? Are you prepared to add CO2 and ferts? There are a number of 24 inch fixtures available. You need to decide what your goals are.

Thanks for the compliments all.
