I have organic miracle grow potting soil and need to get a top substrate and then I'd love to make it a planted tank. I've read these are better for the puffer as well. Would that light work well for this?
Very cool that you wanna do plants! I find that anything in the 5,000k to 10,000k range is good for plants. Although the closer to 6,700k is suppose to me the most ideal. Depending on what plants and how densly planted you wanna go (idealy dirted tanks should be densly planted), you might need more than just the single bulb. You might have already seen this but in case you haven't I did a thread about my step by step process at doing the dirted planted tank
HERE
I haven't the slightest clue however how that would do with a brakish water tank, that is if you plan on keeping your tank brakish :scratch:
