New poster here.
Wanting to start a discus biotope and was looking at lighting options. Very experienced with T5'e etc, but am quite taken by LEDs. Aim is to have a 6ft tank, x 2 x 2.
Is there a recommended set-up for this size?
What spectrum is recommended for a planted discus tank? Any 'don't do's?
any hints and tips will be most welcome, Thank you

Sorry but I can't help as I never had planted tanks, I hope someone will be along to help you, but it is quite quiet around here these days.
Why me ?

Hi Japers1!
For choosing the best LED light for planted aquarium you can use 6500K and the rule that 1 watts of the light/ 1 gallon of aquarium water. Perhaps you are having your 20 gallon fish tank so I think 6500K and 20 watts LED lighting will fit the tank.Last edited by Hollowman; Mon Oct 31, 2016 at 10:47 AM.
