Lights
Zoo Med Flora Sun
Arcadia Original Tropical Lamp
These are the two bulbs I have in a Juwel Rio 240. Both are 38 watts and are
new. Now the aquarium looks a lot darker than before but I was told these
are good for both fish and plant growth. Can anyone confirm this or recomend
alternatives, I also have CO2 injection into the tank which is 240 litres.
Thanks

I'm using the same Arcadia Original Tropical as you, but with the Arcadia
Freshwater lamp as well.
I don't find it any darker than the original T8's that came with the Rio
240, and I think it looks better YMMV ;-)
I'm using the same lighting combo in my Rio 400 and one OT 15w in my Rekord
60.
Plants and fish are growing well.
