    Aquarium Lighting

    I currently have a 13g “widescreen” tank. The tank came equipped with a hood and lights. I don’t really like the lighting. I feel like the light doesn’t pass through the floating plants I have which isn’t too many and gives it this green look to it. Any recommendations? I’m also on a budget [emoji28]IMG_2552.jpg

    Not sure... I’ll get back to you on that one when I’m home. Also this is a low tech planted tank just to give you an idea of what light I would want.
