Equipment: Lighting

The tank is set up to simulate the environment of the lower shore of the English Channel, so good growth of macroalgae is an important issue. I have tried different combinations of different tubes, and found that this one gives me the best growth while also giving attractive lighting. I used to have two Power-GLOs, but I found the light to be too red, and the colours of the animals and plants weren't as luminous as they are now. Plant growth is very good with the current combination.
