hey everyone,
i'm sure you get these posts all the time and I admit, I have been lazy and haven't skimmed through this section of the forum..
recently had a monster tank with monster fish and then shut it all down and re-opened the tank as a Saltwater tank...
I'm done with the headaches and hassle of saltwater plus the damn salt creep and hearing the wife complain about it.. lol
i've downgraded now to a 125 gallon tank.. it's 60" x 18" and 26" deep... I want to set it up as a simple solo piranha tank or some solo fish but not sure yet and I'd like to add live plants to it.
I dont want anything fancy, just jungle val, amazon swords and java moss..
so my question is, What lighting would you recommend for a tank like this?
would a 48" LED light work just fine for them or should I go T5?
I was also checking out the Current USA - LED Freshwater Plus w/ remote.. I just thought it would be neat for the effects and what note. Might as well make a boring tank interesting.. are they good for plant growth?
any and all suggestions are welcome and will be considered
thanks for your time in reading this.
