Marineland Double Brights

[BHead707]

have an opportunity to get them off CL for $40 new in the box, how effective are they at growing plants. will be on a 20G long. (28''-36'' or something like that)

The Double Bright fixtures are usually good for med-light tank. Seems like a decent price to me.

Those double bright fixtures have to be installed without the aquarium cover right? I have a 29 gallon with the led mainland unit. Its the small unit that fits in the top of the cover. If I upgrade some of my fish have the potential to jump without a cover

You can attach it with or without a canopy or cover. I have a glass canopy and it sits atop the glass.

Is this good for growing plants? Or should I get the reef led setups. I have a 29 gallon planted freshwater tank.

I don't believe it's a good light if you have live plants.

It will grow lower light plants. Anubias, Swords and a few others.

I just read the reef capable marjnland unit would be best to grow plants, anyone have this? Will it be to bright?

 

[Philly33]

Reef capable leds. I have it on my 90gal and love it. Whats the width of a 20Long? Only negative is it doesnt have the best coverage bc it doesn't have reflectors. I also use T5ho

 

[HAVAMAL]

Where did you find them at that price?

 

[BHead707]

width is only 12'' i believe, ad it was on craigslist, gotta love them for a good deal once in a while

Anyone have the double bright led lights?

 

[Impulse09]

I am upgrading from the standard led unit that comes with the hood. Does anyone know if it looks a lit better than the stock led?

 

[Impulse09]

I got the lights they look great.

 

[HAVAMAL]

Cool, led lights are the way to go
