Hello,
I have been reading your lighting articles and was seriously considering either a Mini 400 or 500 Tile; however, I read these only work on rimless aquariums.
My 10G unfortunately is not rimless nor did i want to make it rimless.
What other suggestions would you be able to make?
here is some info about my planted aquarium
Plants Jungle Val Dwarf Sag Water lettuce Java Fern Crypt Spiralis
I do use liquid ferts (seachem) and root tabs, no CO2.
Tank Dimensions
20" long 12" high 10" wide
I am not able to suspend anything from the ceiling. I would prefer something that "clips" on to the tank rim but not sure if any of your products (at least none I can tell besides the mini 400 & 500) that will work. I currently have a finnex fugeray planted+ 24/7 and do not use a glass between the light and water level because of the water lettuce. I would like a light that was raised higher that is why I was looking at the mini 400 or 500.
Thank you in advance for any possible suggestions/ideas/thoughts you might have.
I am a newbie with all this so please forgive my silly questions.

Here's a picture. www.americanaquariumproducts.com/images/graphics/tankrimbrackettn.jpgThese do go on rim tanks nicely. It's what I use for my 40b.

Yea, I think I may need some help determining exactly what parts I need to order all.

So you need:
* 400 LED * 490mm Rail * TMC Tank Rim Mounting Bracket (SET)
That's it.
