Stock light upgrade for 20G

[alexbn024]

Hi Tom,

I obtained today a ~20g tank (24in x 14in x 12in){looks like 65 litters} and would like to convert it into another planted project. Its canopy has 1x FT8max Sun Glo bulb of 15w, which looks rather bright. I was thinking to add maybe 1 12W LED strip (Aquaray Grobeam500) to this setup to be able to grow HC, UG and few Echinodorus species in there. I also would like to try Amazoina for the first time, probably 9L will do.

Can I ask you for your opinion regarding light choice?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

I'm not fond of LED's but others have had decent results.

I like T5's right now.

But 2 of the T8 bulbs should do pretty good, 2x 24W T5's are plenty.
