updata time, my pair of kribs have managed to raise the babies in the tank up till today when i stole them :lol: :roll: , and the long finned bristlenose have been growing well, i will be cleaning the tank tomoro, as its abit over grown for pics :slfg: , and on negative note both my T5HO 54W tubes are stuffed, and the price for good ones at hwff is $96ea, which is ok if you have a deep tank and need the extra punch but mines only 45cm deep, so do i really need the expensive ones or can i get away with cheaper ones ? oppions , experience?

The price has nothing to do with how bright the tubes are and what height they are rated for. In fact as far as I know tubes aren't rated for particular aquarium heights. Cheap ones are probably a waste of money because cheap = bad quality usually. And the more expensive ones are most likely more expensive because they are better quality, and usually they have much nicer colours too. If I were you I'd get a couple of PowerGlos. They're good quality, great for growing plants and they will make the colours of your fish look nice too :)

HTH.

There are pros and cons with the fancy tubes but there are plenty of us that grow amazing plants under ordinary cheap Daylight tubes. Proof is in the pudding! With that shallow tank, I personally think you would be fine with either option.
