Lighting for 120 Gallon Planted

[Bettalover333]

Recently I've been having issues with my Marineland Aquatic Plant LED, it's been overheating like crazy and you cannot turn on the tv and the light at the same time or the circuit will blow. This is the second one of these lights I've had issues with, the first the company replaced but I'm not sure if I really want another one of this same light honestly. I run pressurized co2 and dose ferts, currently the Seachem line. My tank is 18"L x 60"W 26"H, and I'm looking for suggestions as to what lights might work for my setup. Thanks, Caroline.

People are really liking the Finnex 24/7...
Finnex Planted 24 7 Fully Automated Aquarium LED Remote Control | eBay
2@36" is cheaper then the marineland and a good option if you have a center brace?
Monster ray(another finnex) I believe may compliment the 24/7 or be more powerful for deeper tanks without all the features?
Hopefully a real plant keeper chimes in...

What type of lighting are you going for?

EDIT: co2 and ferts sounds like high tech so a pair of planted 24/7 or planted plus should out you in high/medium light

Yes thank you I am going for lighting in the medium to high range, similar to the marineland led. I'll definitely look into the ones you guys suggested, thanks!

Anything by finnex. I have a few planted plus and recently added the 24/7 to my lineup.
