Hi everyone,
I'm looking at setting up small fishroom. The idea is 2-3 racks. Perhaps 3 rows of 2x40 breeders or 2x29 gallon tanks. So maybe 3 racks, each ~6 feet long or so. I'm thinking about lighting. What would be the best way to light these tanks? I've started looking around at some waterproof led lighting strips (there are setups that come with 15 feet of length. I wouldn't be growing corals or plants (except maybe java moss), so I don't need lots of power. Buying 6 commercial led systems, one for each tank, would be expensive. I could also go with florescent tubes, but I am hoping to save a bit in the way of energy by going leds. BTW, these will not be breeding systems, but enough room to keep some of the cool fish I like!
So has anyone ever used a something like this?
