Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello,
I've had a 40 gallon freshwater tank (36" X 12") for about a year (mostly discus and cardinals), and I've recently decided to upgrade the lighting. I've been using the same lighting that came with the tank, but my plants are hardly growing/dying. I could use some advice about what kind of lights to get.
I am interested in buying a lighting system that has two different kinds of bulbs: one medium-strong bulb that will be on during the day, and another with a blacklight that I can switch on at night.
Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced lighting system that matches my needs? I don't want or need top of the line, but just something that can help me expand the type of plants I can grow, and their rate.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
