    Cool Lights for a 180g FOWLR

    Hi Chaps
    I'm still very new to the hobby, so please bear with me! I'm slowly setting up a 180g FOWLR system (6'x2'x2'). Got it pretty much plumbed up, got my pumps, made my sump, found a nice AquaC skimmer. But I've not got any lights yet. I'm trying to set this up on a tight budget. Can anyone advise on some suitable lights for my application? Looking for second hand stuff to help the rapidly increasing budget!
    I'd be very grateful for any ideas / input..
    Thanks in advance..

    Thought you were going to do these????


    Interpet Daylight Plus Fluorescent Tubes

    If you are on a tight budget, I would suggest running around to the fish stores around your town and seeing if anybody has any used stuff that they are selling. Just a thought.

    Thanks for the input Charlie....
    I decided against the Interpet Daylight Plus lights, as you suggested I'm looking for a used set up via Craiglist or lfs...

    Being the fact that this is only a FOWLR I don't think you should have any problems finding something suitable. Good luck!!
