Good day everyone, I am planning a marine aquarium, the aquarium is already there, the stand is being made, etc. Please advise on the lighting, the aquarium is 100x40x50 (height) cm, considering the water level, which will be below the edge, it will be about 45 cm. I plan to use 4 T5 39 W lamps. Please suggest which lamps are better to choose and what to use for night lighting. I do not plan to keep complex corals, as I am a beginner, and the volume is not suitable for that. Thank you all in advance.

I am still waiting for your advice, hoping to receive something useful besides the unpleasant comments. Thank you.

Somewhere ahead, I saw a sale for a lamp with 4 LEDs at 39W, look for it. It will do for now. I'm currently using a candle with four bulbs...

You are from Odessa, my advice is to find Sasha on the forum, here is his section, send him a private message, call him, he will very professionally offer you both the light fixture and T5 lamps from Fauna Marin, or consider looking into diodes.

I have a lamp, the question is about the combination of the color scheme of the bulbs.

It can be done like this (from the front glass) 1 Actinic 2 Blue Plus 3 Aquablue Special 4 Blue Plus

How do you drip acclimate a shrimp before introducing it to a new tank? Is it necessary or recommended? Please advise on the procedure. Crystal shrimp.

No matter how you care for it, it will die quickly in a marine aquarium.

This is VERY little, to be honest. You should consider getting about six 39-watt T5s if you've decided on T5. As for the proportions, people mix them in various ways (from 1:1 with white to completely blue and actinic). First, you need to decide on the lamp manufacturer.
