Hi everyone. I have been looking around to try to figure out what lighting replacement combinations would be suitable for a planted Fluval Edge (6 gallon), and I have found many different answers. I received this replacement fixture: https://ca-en.hagen.com/Aquatic/Replacement-Parts/A13924 (21 LED).

I am looking to start up a nice planted tank, but I am not sure if this would provide enough lighting for the plants to thrive. Does anyone have suggestions as to whether this is enough/should I buy another fixture (& if so, which one?)?

I am also looking for stocking suggestions for down the road for this tank. I was thinking Okefenokee Pygmy Sunfish or Scarlet Badis, but if anyone has any other input on what worked for their Fluval Edge, feel free to add. Thank you in advance! :)

EDIT: This is probably a stretch but this would be too small for Forktail Rainbows, correct?
 
Hi Adam,

In my Fluval Edge 6 Gallon I have:
•Java Ferns
•Java Moss
•Malaysian Driftwood
•Big rocks?
•Around 50 Red Cherry Shrimp (babies and adults)
I think scarlet badis would work well, but the lighting is only good for low-light plants like java ferns, moss, Anubis, crypts, dwarf sag and some others? Good Luck!

I have the 12g edge. All my plants are low light but I may just spring for a Finnex or Current Satellite light and set it on top the tank. Not exactly attractive but it's in my bedroom so I don't care. :)

Thanks for the replies! :)

Anyone have input in regard to adding Pseudomugil furcatus?
