Best plant fixture for about $100?

[Brookster123]

I just have one on my 20 tall and it's almost to much at 16", I've ordered 2 current satellite plus for my new 40b build so if you can wait a couple weeks I'll have a review on those as well.. finnex kills it for the money though,

Gotcha. Go to Aquatraders - Guaranteed Best Prices on Aquarium Lightings + Free Shipping!. They carry Beamswork and Green Element fixtures and surprisingly have good PAR for growing plants.

How is the beams work LED??? I'm looking to get a 48" LED for my 90 gallon and I was going to get a finnex planted plus but this one is half the price. How is it??

Do you have 2 48" beamworks on your 75 gallon?

No, I do not have Beamswork fixtures. I have friends that swear by them though.

Are you running or planning to run CO2? If not, reconsider adding any high output fixture. Are you running two T8s now? the cheapest option might be to add 2 more T8s (perhaps a shop light) and have hem on for all or part of the light cycle. There are lots of plants that will thrive under that amount of light.

Pressurized is not necessary for a medium light tank, or even a high light tank to be honest. Unless you go ultra high light. I'm running 4 t5ho aquatic life bulbs over my 40 breeder and have been using metricide for about 4 weeks now with no algae problems.
