Has anyone here worked with FertiLight™ LED Grow Light strips?
I found this waterproof LED strip light online and was wondering how this in conjunction with some 5000° K white would work for aquatic plants?
I might try this inside the hood of my daughter's 360° round tank as the LED that comes with it is junk and has burned out once so far due to corrosion
