I see 1 in KW(Pg) sold at RM150, I guess is 2f x 2f, only come with 11w light in the cover.....
Is all sifu tank's cover(including the light) all DIY?
Most tanks don't come prepared for planteds. Extra lights are one of the highest costing things when starting a new planted tank. Usually don't use covers for planted. With the light fixtures creating heat and cover preventing fresh air flow... the tank can get very warm and thus not suitable for planteds.. unless you use a chiller.. for which you need an even higher budget.

co2, lights, chiller, Bankcrupt.
