I really like the look of a rimless tank, and its easier to do maintenance if all you have to do is lift the lights. And being able to still keep them on while working in the tank...man I wish I would have done that.

Yes, I've personally watched him climb my air tubes numerous times & if it wasn't for my canopy, he'd be a free crustacean :P


In regards to the dual setup, it comes with one Colormax Full Spectrum and one 6700K T-5 (5/8 diameter) fluorescent lamp. Each of these lamps is 18W, which will give me a total of 36W... which doesn't seem like enough light Should i stick with the bulbs that come with it, or get something else?

After some more poking around, I just found this

I'd obviously go with this model in particular CD-32828, which is the 30" Freshwater model. Here are the bulbs that come with this set: One SlimPaq 10,000°K and one SlimPaq Freshwater bulb. This would be a 48W setup...

Which one would be a better fit for my tank?
