I have a 75 Gallon tank with Haps and am not completely happy with the lighting. Currenlty I have T5 dual bulb aquaeon 48" light strip which is more suited for planted tanks. Which lights can I used to bring out the colors in tmy cichlids? Would regular T8 shop lights do the trick or do I...

What the best lighting for a all Male peacock tank? I have an Aquaeon T5 double light strip, however is this the best lighting for thie species? I I want to create a "Saltwawater Lookalike" appearance. Any suggestions would help?

I am trying the plants route..I feel that the standard light strip on the 46 is not enough for hardy plants.. What kind of lighting will enable me to grow hardy plants as well as plants demanding light? I'd like to get a light that can grow almost enough but also keeping in mind budget..

We currently have 4 T8's (3 feet each so basically 2 rows), which is kind of a joke. We've got a good combo of lights on there, so floating sprite is growing fine, java fern and Anubias are making a comeback. Since J want's discus, I realize some nice flora will probably go a loooooong way...

I am looking to get a new lighting set up for my tank. Only because the t5 ho I have now is creating too much heat! My tank gets down to 79.5 in the morning and up to 81 during the day while the light is on. I am looking for recommendations on a decent light for a fair price, if there's any...

I just picked up a 29 gallon (Thanks Wblaze!!!) and I need to get lighting for it. I want to do a planted tank but there are SO many options. What is the most bang for my buck? I was thinking of doing an LED fixture - is that going to be enough light? The LEDs on my Fluval Edge seem to do...

Hey guys, i need help from plant experts or those with experience and want to know what you guys think. Im trying to decide what kind of lighting i should get for my 29g dwarf cichlids. I want to put a lot of plants in it and i just cant decide which one to get. So id like to find out whats...

I picked up a 135g a month ago that was laoded with plants and came with a homemade hood w two 160w UVL AquaSun full spectrum fluorescent T12's. I've not a plant in my tank and within 2 weeks alage is just kicking in everywhere. I called HOT for a recommendation and they suggested just...

I was wondering what other folks are doing for lighting duration? How many hours of lighting are you running a fish-only (no plants) tank?

Ran the moonlights during a Nannacara rearing process in a densely planted 20H with Papa along for the ride. I definitely fed the fry reliably and the the parents as well, but I also had the blue light at night. Really good batch of 50+, after a couple of weeks everyone was almost co-mingling...

So I ran into Sarah at House of Tropicals today and she said that there was a website where all the fish junkies buy their lights for a good price. She didn't remember the name of the site so I was hoping someone knows. I just want low wattage lights like T5's or maybe compact fluorescent that...

What do you guys use other than metal halide lights that show off the mbuna colors. I have white sand with rusts,yellow labs, ruby reds, and acid.

So I just bought a DB SolarmaxHE 48" for the 90g I'm setting up. I know [or think I know, (contradiction noted!)] that the standard bulbs(one 10,000k daylight, one 6700 actinic) won't be sufficient for even the moderate planting that I will be doing. Anubias, crypts, swords. Most literature...

So i was seeing if anybody has or has any good ideas on building a canopy to house a strip light or bulbs or whatever. I know i can make a nice one for cheaper than i can buy one. Sent from my PG86100 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Ok. I have choices down to a 48" marineland double bright led or a t5 ho double stip with one 10000 and a actinic What would you do. I have Malawi cichlids in a 55g long tank

Hello all. I need a 48" light for my new 55g Malawi tank. I want a t5 but do not want to spend a ton. I bought a deep blue double strip t5 from the lagoon in Wheaton today but before I opened it I saw that it has the 24 hour blue LEDs that you cannot turn off. This would drive me nuts, so I am...

I have a 5 foot 120 gallon tank (60" wide x 18" deep x 22" tall) that I'm struggling to find a good solution for lighting. When I picked up the tank, it came with a matching 5 foot, single bulb T-12 fixture. The fixture isn't nearly enough to light the tank to my liking (the tank is in my...
