    @DewaldC, nice setup. Like the idea with the plants in the middle with the rocks.

    If you are talking cheap lights, why don't you get one of those cheap light fittings that you still have to put cord into and get a nice Philips Tornado globe it will probably cost about R120 including the globe, maybe less.

    Hi Skye01 Could I use a couple of these in a 1.7m a 800 x 800 tank I am sure it will make enough light for the tank.

    Dewaldc sorry to intrude on your thread.
