• Help choose the light.

I'm setting up an aquarium 80*55*60 cm. I have a question about what lighting to choose... I'm considering T5 lamps. So, let's calculate: 80*55*55 = 242 liters. I found the SunSun HFL - 800 fixture, 4x24W (unfortunately, 54W is already too long). In total, 4*24 = 96W. That seems quite low considering the articles I've read online. Can you advise if this amount of light is sufficient? Or what direction would you recommend exploring (I'm looking at fairly budget options)? Thank you in advance to everyone who responds!

If you have softness, then two of these will be enough: SunSun HDD-800B lamp, 2x24W T5. And then you can see if you need to make any adjustments. But it's better to order from skilled craftsmen and let them do it.
