Im going tomorrow to buy a 40 gallon breeder from Petco ($1 a gallon sale) I already have 2 Aqueon 50 filters and the substrates for it. Im building my stand and thinking about building a canopy and doing a DIY led set up.
Im wanting to go planted on this tank so ill need high watt leds. Id like to hear from people that has done this and/or have links to sites to order the materials needed to do this.
Next question I have is if it would be cheaper to buy a t5 light fixture from like Lowes and use it. I know it woild be easier.
I jumped straight from a t8 fixture on my 29 gallon to a current 24in led fixture and I love the looks of leds along with the adjustments my light bar offers.
All suggestions are welcome
Thank you,
Brandt
