LED lighting...

...I may breakdown and get a couple, few of these.....I'm tired of the others...

I have a couple of these and they're very nice....especially for the price.  They're sleek, low profile and actually quite bright.  I have a 48" fixture and a couple of small ones.

Thanks for the link, Pauline. Do they penetrate to the bottom pretty well?

Boy, those prices seem very reasonable too..cheaper than other places that I have seen. And don't they save a lot on the electric bill too being LED's??

My only problem is I don't get great plant growth with my led lights.

The have better bulbs available, but pricey.....do you have any sitting around that you're not using at the moment??....I'd like to try one on my swap setup tanks, if you do... ..if you'd let me borrow it for a day?....

Jon, if Scott doesn't I have one I could let you use.  I'm breaking down one of my 29g so it will fit your 20s.

Thanks, Willie....actually if I had two, or a 48", it'd be perfect, I may snag one locally too???...does it show off the blues and oranges, etc real well?....I'm hoping it will display the colors well..or better than the tubes...LOL..........as for here, I just want to save some electric..

I don't have any extra lighting. I need to start thinking about what im going to use for the 75 in my son's room.

Here is a picture of the 48" LED in the link that I have on my angel tank. No CO2 or fertilizers are used in this tank and there's just a plain gravel substrate.  No windows reflect into this tank either.  It has a black background.  I just took this picture tonight.

The above picture is with the light at the front of the tank.

Here's a picture with it at the back of the tank.  I keep it at the front because I don't like seeing the heater and filter parts.  The light is 48" long as is the tank....tank is 18" wide,  75 gallon.
