I am finally going to replace the tank lids and standard issue lights on my 55gal planted community tank. I have already decided to get All Glass Versa Tops, but I cant decide what kind of lights I want to get, or how they might look installed. I know I need about 2-3 watts per gallon, but I would like some suggestions from you all, and of course pictures would be most helpful. I don't know if I should get a T5 set up with two 24" lights, or maybe a singular fixture at 48". Does anyone use LED to light their tanks?
Here is what I have:
This set up in an anemic 36watts...
Not too much else to tell...it is a 55gal planted community tank with 2 clown loaches and 3 South American Cichlids. I have a powerhead there in left corner, and a HOB filter, a heater and some airstones.
