There are always questions from folks about lights and which lights look best and which lights work best and which lights to get for this and that. I thought maybe a thread that we can all participate in that we post up pics of our tanks sharing what types of lights we have on the tanks, for how long, if planted or not, and for how long. This might help folks make a decision about lights and what they are looking for. Of course...I'm starting
Current LED Plus 48" light on a 72" tank. I use the "orange" setting most of the time. Low tech community planted tank. 125G tank...up and running for about a year. Most plants have been in there for that time except for the bolbitis and the tall anubia log on the left (those moved in a week ago when I switched up my other 125G tank...but that tank had the same type of light on it). This light works great in my opinion for a low tech planted tank and its not too expensive.
Build My LED 30" light on a 48" tank. I just set up this light on this tank but I love the color and richness it adds to the tank. I will have to see if this light gives enough supplement to my other light to carry the 75G high tech planted tank. This tank gets a lot of glare so please excuse that in the pics of it.
Finnex Ray II 48" on a 33G high tech planted tank for 6 months and now the 75G high tech planted (just moved to it). This light did great on the 33G tank, I did have to raise it some above the surface. Now it is on the 75G. Time will tell how it will do.
