    Agreed. You don't really need lights if it's a FOWLR; if you can view it well with the lights then that should be good enough.

    could definately do a dwarf angel in a 40, like a lemonpeel or flame. you wouldnt want a large one they grow way to fast you would have to upgrade after several months. also i think t5 is unnecessary i would just do some normal output flourescant, its specifically for viewing pleasure so t5 is not needed.
