Hi,
So I'm new here and I'm starting a new freshwater tank with my daughter (11). We plan to have a peaceful community tank with live plants (easy ones though). We've purchased a 20 gallon tank and a few other supplies (filter, heater, substrate, the obligatory "Sponge Bob Squarepants" pineapple house, etc.) and I'm looking at lights now. After reading a lot of reviews I think I've settled on the Ecoxotic E-series lights, although I'm open to further suggestions on that as well. My question is which size to get, the E-45 (18"-24") or the E-60 (24"-36"). The opening of the tank is just over 24" and the depth is just under 17". Based on that I think either would work but I don't want to spend the extra money for the E-60 if it's not necessary.
Thanks!
