I am building my own tank (another thread in diy section) and had a few questions. The measurements for the tank are 18 inches long by 12 inches deep by 9 inches tall, I know these are odd measurements but that is why I am making my own!
But down to business, this is going to be a pretty serious planted tank and my question is lighting? What can I do for it? It is going to be a rimless tank and I really like the look of rimless with a clip on light but I cant seem to find any that put out a good wattage. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe of doing two clip ons but I am not trying to break the bank so if I can do better with an t5 for 60 bucks (cost of two 13 watt clip on's) or less then Ill go with that.
The plants I am going to have, hmmmm this tank being so short is basically shrimp sanctuary with maybe a few pygme cories to go with my red cherry shrimp, I am hoping that the shrimp will breed that is why I am not doing any other fish (protect the fry). So basically I am going to need some help with this one!
Thanks all!
