new light questions.

hey guys.
in the near future i will be getting a new light for my 3 gallon nano. it currently has a 9w 50/50 pc fixture and it does the job, but i would like something better. i was thinking t5s or maybe even leds if i can get the right price. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? the tank opening is 10 inches across so my main issue i finding something small enough to fit that space.
thanks in advance! ;D

 

if your looking for LED to fit that space, theres plenty out there. T5, not so much. Give me a couple minutes to post links. Whats your price range?

 

70w MH clip on? :-o

 

doesnt an mh sound like a little bit of overkill? lol its just a three gallon tank and i already have to replace about 1-2 cups of water a day because of evaporation. my price range is up to 60 dollars. or fairly close to that.

 

I had a 150w MH viper over my 5.5gal...... ATO is helpful... Over kill, I don't think so..

wow. i am impressed. that looks great. if i can find one in my price range that would be great. any links or recommendations to provide?

 

lol... thanks... people thought I was full of crap when I told them.... I picked mine up from Dr. Fosters and Smith.....

 

any ideas guys??? the more im browsing the less im finding... my mom wants ideas for christmas so i kinda need to find it soon.

oh and the spacing on the tank is actually just over 11.5 inches so i think i might try for a 12inch t5 system and rig it to fit some how. well if i can even find a t5 system that small. but they must make them. right?
