Which LED for 55?

[dcutl002]

I am in the process of re scaping this 55 gallon. Right now it is OVERGROWN with crypts, swords, and Val's. It's a jungle. Presently the substrate is just gravel and the T5 has blown 2 ballasts out of 4. I want to Re-do this tank.

I just purchased 100 lbs of Eco Complete and I am thinking of going with Dwarf Hairgrass. I have a GLA CO2 setup, Eheim 350, but no fish(they have been transferred). The tank has been cycled for 4 years with excellent water parameters.

Should I get 2 Finnex fixtures or a BML fixture? Will 1 BML be able to handle a 55?

I planted plus with a ray 2 in front should suffice, the bml would be my choice if I had the cash. Keep in mind finnex is releasing a new line soon. Perhaps an exotic e series or two if you like the funnsy gadgets.

Ok, I have been working a lot of overtime for 6 months, so I have money saved. So, the BML? Just 1?

Yah, i mean bml is the business for sure, a 48" dutch xb is going to run you a pretty penny. I'm not positive but I've heard they lose their punch on a tall tank. Maybe a combo of a planted ray2 and eseries could make something special? Wait for a few more opinions please

Roger that. I was actually looking at the 6300 XB. Lol.
