Lighting for a 240g

[egill]

I bought a used 240g setup about 1 1/2 years ago. It came with 1-4ft power compact and 1-3ft power compact light fixture which both have 4 bulbs each. Looking at getting rid of the power compact and going to LED's. Was wondering if anyone had any info on what i should look for. Also the tank is FOWLR.

since its FOWLR go for one of those marineled double bright led systems. cheap for led and will light up the tank well enough

That was my only concern with the tank being 24" deep and it not being bright enough.

it should be plenty bright enough. maybe look for it at one of your LFS to check it out before purchasing

I'll have to check to see if any carry them. Thanks for the input!
