Hi all,
I’m currently setting up a Sakura 5.5 G planted tank. There’s some Anubias, crested java fern, and. “tropica fern” (never heard of but got it at petco, looks like normal java fern to me). My tanks not filled with them, but I’d like to give my plants the best chance at thriving! As of now I have a measly National Geographic LED clip on (I do not recommend, it’s a pain to attach and overheats easily).
This is my first planted tank, and I’m debating what lighting is needed for it. I found an Aqueon model that sells two versions: freshwater and planted. I attached pics of my tank as well as the boxes of the two models I’m considering.
There aren’t too many reviews on the sites I’ve been looking up, but with a 5.5G, I’m worried that the light specifically made for planted tanks would be an overkill.
Any insights are appreciated, thanks!
