Greenleaf 91b lighting

[Peanutplant]

Am going to purchase a green leaf 91b aquarium soon. It is a very long 12 gallon tank.

I was wondering what kinds of led lighting options I have. I have had experience with normal bulb lighting but would like to try out led. I am a noob with led. Please some guidelines.

Should I DIY or buy a premade one?

Any suggestions for premade units?

As far as DIY vs Premade, DIY units are going to be better and cheaper at this stage of technology. Not everyone has the technical proficiency for them though.

I have been extremely happy with my lighting solution on that tank:
TrueLumen Pro LED StripLights | Current-USA
(as detailed in the thread that AC linked above).

I love the tank... If you read my thread I had a terrible algae outbreak, but the tank is just about ready to get re-planted. The light I linked grows plants like mad. I went from a 3 half dollar size pieces of HC to almost a completely covered bottom within a few weeks. Lots of pearling too.

****... They are all sold out of their tanks. I contacted them and they told me I have to wait until march... That's a bummer.
