Setting up my first tank and the last piece of equipment I need to get is the overhead light. Since I'll be flirting with high temps and I'm trying not to invest in a chiller I'm leaning toward a LED light system.
It's a regular sized 125 so dimensions are 72in long by 22in deep. It's gonna be a planted tank mostly b/c I don't want to mess with water changes as far as I can help it. So I'm looking for a LED light that can support plant growth but not necessarily anything too bright. My goal is to grow out the plants I'll need to keep the nitrates balanced and then maintain the plants at that level of growth. I don't necessarily need the LED to support fast plant growth, just enough to slowly grow and then maintain mature plants.
Would like to achieve a slim look with a single LED unit that extends the entire length of the tank.
Any suggestions?
