Hello all,
Looking for advise on LED lighting.

I currently have an Oase 125, with standard lighting, which appears to be doing a good job with my low tec set up.
I am after advise on and LED setup with sunrise and sunset functions, without having to have the lids removed ?

Anty help would be greatly appreciated.

Whatever new lighting you choose make sure you can alter the light intensity, I recently upgraded my LED lighting and had a lot more algae especially near the top of the tank,
I have now cured this by reducing the intensity down to 60% previously 100%

I am running my two Eheims at 25% (50% total) (with the blue channel reduced to 5%) (see the above videos for an explanation as to why the blue channel promotes more algae growth)

Every Sunday the plants have to be cut back.
