I'm looking for something small, 12 inches give or take for a planted low tech tank. I haven't bought a light in a few years, it seems the selection is still pretty poor in Canada. Anyone know a store in the GTA that has good selection for lights?
I have this light on a standard 10 gallon. Am able to grow low to medium light demand plants just perfectly and have no algae issues (low stock, weekly water change and heavy plant load)
Price is great. It does cast a red rather than blue but if you don't care about that then...
I have this light on my fluval spec V which is about 10.5 tall, My substrate is about 2" and I have the light sitting 10" from the substrate and my HC Cuba grows uncontrollably I use ADA Soil, pressurized co2 and daily fertz dosing. the ball park par level is about 35.
I also have the 12" version on a 12"x12"x12" starphire cube that is low tech, it only gets fertz and liquid co2 once a week. There is only giant baby tears, hornwort, java moss, and subwassertang in there and everything grows quickly except for the mosses.
Thanks, I might pick that up. I was worried about the nicrew ones because it doesn't have any information on if it has any red part of the spectrum. Were you able to find any info on that? How is the build quality?
I have both Nicrew and JCAQUA leds and they appear to be made by the same manufacturer. Really impressive lights for the price, tons of growth and nice deep red plants.
Search for user JCAQUA on this forum, they were selling these lights for a bit cheaper than the Nicrews off Amazon.
