Lighting Advice

[alyxandria]

Hi all! Looking to upgrade the light on my mom's tank for her. She would like (mostly) low to (maybe some) medium light plants. It's a 20 gallon high tank.

I want to go LED if I can because she doesn't want to be replacing bulbs every so often.

What would be a good light that I could put on this tank? Or what kind of specs should I look for in a light?

Also, what would be some good low light plants for her? I believe she has an Anubis and an Amazon sword in there currently.

A finnex stingray wouldn't be a bad choice.

The Finnex Planted+ or the Finnex Stingray as mentioned by Mebbid are excellent, cost-effective choices.

My vote would go with the Current Satellite LED+ or, if not in a rush, the Finnex Planted+ 24/7 (as I believe it's backordered).
