Rucky Cricket Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi I'm looking to get into this hobby in the next month or so and I have done research on all the things I need but I'm stuck at lighting. What are some sleek looking lighting systems that are also good for shrimp? My first tank will be a 20 gallon long. Thank you, Cricket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Consider Finnex Stingray, I have one over a 20L and it looks great and the light distribution is adequate. I use eBay Beamswork lights on my tenners: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beamswork-EA-Timer-FSpec-0-50W-LED-Aquarium-Light-Freshwater-18-24-30-36-48-72-/291651103215?var=&hash=item43e7c2a9ef:m:mgjaJ7FC5KBUO2v3QuxYTdQ Rucky Cricket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp Life Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well it will depend are you keeping low light plants or high light. Most shrimp tanks have moss and buce so I'm assuming thats where your headed. You probably don't need a super fancy light in that case. Just get an led light or T5 from ebay. Usually you can get one for $45 shipped for a decent fixture. I use these very fixtures for growing all my mosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. F Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 finnex planted++1, super nice and if they get too bright, you can get some risers from Han. Rivergardennursery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
