I've long been considering what I might do to my canopy to enable me to grow live plants and think I may have come up with a solution. My aquarium is 48" and there are two separate 22" canopies on it with standard package lighting.
I was thinking I could replace the current canopy with two of these:
Aquarium Lighting: Marineland Glass Aquarium Lighting Canopies
This would give me lots of glass that I could then purchase a better light strip to put above and allow me to grow plants. I was thinking something like this:
Marineland LED Strip Light - 36" to 48"
Would making a change like this enable me to grow plants? Is there a better way to go about this? The length of my aquarium with trim is approx. 48.25". I would be fine with a 36-48" light correct?
Perhaps most importantly, what would be the best bang for your buck light strip? My tank is relatively deep at 24".
Thanks Everyone.
