yogosans14 94 Posted December 18, 2016 I looked on amazon and they had a Aqueon light strip for cheap and a marine land one, which one would show off fishes colors better? Right now I use the Aqueon fluorescent hood and it's to dim for My tastes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shahbazin 1,110 Posted December 19, 2016 I have a basic Marineland LED on my 75 gal. goldfish tank which does great (even for the plants), & when the old Aqueon fluorescent hood on my 10 gal. tropical tank died, I replaced it with a Marineland LED, which I like so much better. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 5,668 Posted December 19, 2016 Truthfully, it doesn't matter if it's just for fish. Any LED for your size tank will do - most will be between 6000 and 10,000K. As for colour, that's also entirely optional, but I wouldn't exceed 10,000K - after that you get more blue light. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellbell4ever 1,381 Posted December 20, 2016 I had the Current Satellite led system on my old 55 gallon and loved them,My 5.5 gallon tanks came with the Aqueon led lights in the hood and I find them a bit dim as well,I'm looking into the marineland led lighting for my current 55 gallon tank in the future 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantailfan1 26,742 Posted December 20, 2016 I have the Marineland double bright on my 75 and 40 and the single bright on my 10 gallon. So far so good and I've had them several years. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaseyE 29 Posted January 8, 2017 I just replaced my Marine land strip with the Current Satellite plus, and it's pretty rad. Kinda regret not getting the one with the timer. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
