Jadenlea Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hey guys.. In another thread I mentioned that I am purchasing a new canopy and lighting for my sisters 55 gallon tank. Its the standard 55 gal with fish. It does have plants.. probably the highest light plants are a couple of swords. I know NOTHING about LED lighting.. Would this light be bright enough to light the tank and keep those swords alive? (as of now, she just has those awful hood lights that come with the tank and they have dimmed alot and the swords are still living. Also, is this a good deal for the lights or can I do better? http://www.thatpetplace.com/satellite-freshwater-led-plus-strip-light-36in-48in Thanks for the advice!

Jadenlea Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 PS her 10 yr old would get huge kick out of the remote and changing the light colors. He loves my Solo Current remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Are you looking for general lighting, or plant lighting? Not that I would know the difference, however it may help some who are more knowledgeable than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 She doesnt have a heavily planted tank but she does have some plants. I just want to light up her tank because it is so dim it looks AWFUL, but Id like enough light so the plants she has (sword highest requirment) wont die.
