35ppt Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think the most important factor to know is PAR data. Plus real-world reviews are handy aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 All I can tell you is I own three of the StingRays for a reason I dont grow high light plants but everything I do grow is doing excellent. I have two of the Finnex Planted + and they are so freaking bright I cant use them! aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 The stingray has red less so I think it has more par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Mainly Mosses and Buce and some ferns. I use a diffuser and raise them up to make sure no algae grows and they are still plenty bright. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loumeer Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 At $45 going to be hard to get a good LED for plants. Maybe you need to look at CFL or T5HO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
