    Hi,

    My current tank is using the Dymax light, but it's not good, because it cannot clip onto the tank securely.

    I am keeping CRS and plants.

    Which light would you recommend for a 2 feet Five Plan tank?

    Thanks!

    any planning to inject CO2 or dosing fert? If not, based on your description, 24-36 Watt is enough for 2ft low tech tank.

    T5 is slightly brighter , and uses a little less energy as compared to PL .

    for your tank you can go for 2 x 14 watt T5
