Hey there! I'm a complete newbie to the whole fish-pet thing, by the way! I have brought my tank and it's going well - but i have been told (by the manual) to wait two weeks before getting the fish, and that's fine!
My real... "question" is about lights.
My tank is a freshwater tank, and i've heard that lights can really brighten up the tank, what lights do you get though? My tank is a fairly small one about 8gallons i'd say, as i'm just starting and don't have any room for a big one (plus my parents would kill me if i got a big one!), but could i buy an ordinary lamp and stretch it over the top of the tank so the light shines down (you know - one of those desklamps) or should i not bother at all? I need help.
Thanks,
