i have had a 29 gallon Eclipse with a 65 watt retrofit ballast since around 2005 maybe? It had finally pooped out (the Marineland hood is falling apart).
i was looking at the Finnex fugeray. I have not been keeping up with lighting in a few years. the deep 29 gallon makes high light plants hard to keep with most lighting. I do not want metal halides.
It seems LEDs are the way to go now but Im looking at what might be my best bang for the buck. I mostly keep crypts and low to mid level plants, occasionally swords and similar.
Any suggestions for a 29 gallon tank? I can go without a lid, or a hood. Im open to any of them as the hood is falling apart from heat and light. It all needs replacing. I do have a canister filter underneath so i dont need to worry about filters or whatnot in the hood being replaced.
