Aquarium Advice Regular
A friend of mine has decided that he'd like to try his hand at a planted tank and we began discussing what he would require to have happy healthy plants. He asked if LED's could be used instead of the normal fluorescent bulbs and I had no clue what to tell him. The fixture and lights are these:

And the aquarium he's wanting to attach these too is a Aqueon 36 gallon bow front. My question in this is, are LEDs enough to penetrate and offer substantial enough light for plants? His tank is probably about 18 inches deep. He was excited about this because of the price difference between this fixture and a double bulbed Zoomed that he has chosen in case this isn't going to work.
