chappy6107 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I have a Current Satellite + over a 55 gallon which has low/med light plants in it and it does great. I love the sleek look. I have a finnex planted+ 24/7 over a 20 gallon long which had med light plants and it did great. I have since rescaped that tank with Chinese seeds that have grown into little carpet like plants. It has only been 3 weeks and looks great, but further reading suggests that these plants may not be aquatic and will die off after ~3-4 months. We will see I guess. At work I have a beamswork over a 40 gallon long full of low/med light plants and have to trim every couple of weeks. link to each light listed above: https://www.amazon.com/Current-USA-Satellite-Freshwater-Aquarium/dp/B00C7OTF9E/ref=pd_sbs_199_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00C7OTF9E&pd_rd_r=DZ8HBQMMNPPNH4CDK4D4&pd_rd_w=MbNbR&pd_rd_wg=gALq2&psc=1&refRID=DZ8HBQMMNPPNH4CDK4D4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0HMWSG/ref=twister_B00U0WT80G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Beamswork-6500K-Aquarium-Freshwater-Discus/dp/B016P96UA8/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1480861894&sr=1-6&keywords=beamswork+led+48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revaria Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm using the finnex 24/7 to grow plants and its pretty good. I bought it last year around this time, but you may want to wait a bit as they are upgrading the finnex 24/7 to fix the problems the current one has, it should be out by next year. Also I heard the Sting Ray lights were good as the 24/7 and them are often compared. The video shows a display of the new finnex lights which they showed at the Chicago aquatic experience of this year I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUp8klCfVPs Shrimple minded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
