lights

I'm planning a 29-gallon planted aquarium, and I want to know what the best options I have for a light that can grow practically anything. I picked up a Seaoura from Amazon that's around 22 watts and I'm just thinking I made a mistake if I wanted to do something high intensity. If my math is...

These Indoor Plant Lights are much cheaper here where I live than aquarium lights and I want to try them on a farm tank. Is there any problem in using them? They are mostly red and blue LEDs with a few white, UV and IR LEDs scattered. I expect the tank to look weird without white lights, but...

Hi everyone! I am setting up a 5 gallon/19 liter CO2 tank and - after doing some research (including on this forum) - want to keep my substrate PAR at about 30-50 umols to keep some semblance of stability in the tank. My question is, are there any plants that will readily turn red under such...

Debating now if I should get the Fluval 3.0 for $127 or the Twinstar 600ea with dimmer for $179. As mentioned before I could put the fluval on the acrylic risers I made in the pic below but I think the twin star wins the beauty contest. Is there a significant difference in the way the plants...

I recently bought 2 of these tiles w/ the controller for a pretty incredible deal on EBay. Paid less for both of them AND the controller than I would have for a Kessil 360 Tuna Sun. Part of the reason why is they are for a 56 gallon column tank with a center divider. SOOO I needed either two...

Has anyone tried any of these products? They market it as a "plant growth" light. I have their 45cm LED light rated at 16W. They come by the name of "Hepo" here in Asia and "Pawfly" in the west. Has anyone done their research on PAR ratings on these brands?
