What would be the better light for a low tech 24" cube tank I'm starting? AI Prime 13HD Freshwater, Twinstar 600E, Finnex HLC, or Chihiros All A601?

I am now leaning more toward Festivus and Hatchetfish or one Severum (they grew on me) and Lemon Tetras. Not sure if small fish will be eaten down the road though. Angelfish I feel will be too big, cupidos take up bottom. Anyone think one of these combos will be okay? Or have other ideas? Thanks.

No, those are two separate species. Uarus need to be in groups as juvies, but can be alone as adults. Chocolates can be alone. I threw out the chocolate idea already anyway.

May I please get some stocking opinions? This is my first time keeping Geophagus. I have a 110 gallon tank. 60.5" long, 16.5" wide, and 25.5" tall. I am considering either Abalios or Red Head Tapajos. I am thinking 6. Does this sound like a good number? I also have access to Winemilleri and...

Looking for snails. Also, shrimp. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just some decent, low priced shrimps... culls, RCS, whatever you got, let me know.

The tank doesn't have a lip for a lid to rest on. How would you work that?

That would be okay. I thought of that in the future, too. Think the plants would sit on high ledge with roots to grow toward water?

I thought about putting some shrimp and/or small fish in later. Would you recommend no lid if I did that? I didn't know how safe they would be against crawling or jumping out.

I'm finally back! After having to move and sell everything a couple years ago, which was so hard, I finally got a 20g long for a planted tank project. Anyone know if they make lids for these? It is taller in back than in the front. Can't wait to get started. https://flic.kr/p/RevoSv

New planted tank project.

I'm with the above. Purple Spotted Gudgeon.

Oh, I still have all the plants.

UPDATE: 1 Dragon Goby (Violet Goby), 10 Pseudomugil Gertrudeae Aru II (couple emails on them), 9 Congo Tetras (again couple emails, still not claimed), 2 Microctenopoma ansorgii (email on them but not claimed) - 6 Steatocranus Casuarius (buffalo head cichlids) - all others sold or pending sale.
