5 Gallon Tank Light??

[sailfin]

I am thinking of beginning a 5 gallon nano. What type light would the experienced people here suggest? Also it has a carbon filter plus biowheel. Is that sufficient???

I would go with a 32 watt custom sealife retro kit. I would also ditch the biowheel all together. Is it the 5 gallon bowfront tank?

Yes it is. Why do you ask?

Just wandering. Be careful. I know that those tanks are made out of acrylic and can scratch easy. I suggest you to get a 7 gallon bow front aquarium. They are easy to modify and are made out of glass. The 32 watt retro kit fits perfectly on top with the existing strip light. I have a 32 watt retro kit I took off of mine because I upgraded to 64 watts of pc. I am selling the retro kit if you are interested. Here are some pics of my current setup and then I will post some pics of the light I am selling...

Will the lights you are selling fit a 5 gallon? I already have the tank and can't afford to get another one.

I am not sure if it will fit the 5 gallon minibow. It fits the 5.5 gallon regular tank.
