Looking for a good led light

[Karliah]

My aquarium has a hood with a glass strip across it for a light, the fluorescent I have on there now is... dismal, at best. I'm looking for reviews either for or against specific lights. It need to be between a minimum of 23" and a maximum of 27 3/4" long. (The area I NEED to light is only 23" long, the whole length available is 27 3/4"
Also I don't like the lights that are blueish/purple all the time. I mainly see people using them for dedicated reef tanks though, and I just have a FOWLR.
Any suggestions or cautions are greatly appreciated.

You just need a regular fluorescent as with a FO you have no need for light at all other than to see in the tank..

Plenty of bulbs out there in different color temperatures..

For fowlr i would look at the true lumen pro led strips with ramp timer

Thanks I'll definitely look into that.

On the TrueLumens, between the diamond white and the marine fusion, which would you choose and why?

I would use the marine fusion and a blue strip. The matine fusion has 12k diamond whites in it. Another way is one 12k, one marine fusion, and a blue so you can do sunrise to sunset

For my 180 FOWLR I have 3 Reef Breeders Super Lux ( which is their budget light)

They are about $200 a piece, you will only need 1

If you want good light, cheep especialy for a fowler a Build My Led 24 would probobly work good in the 14K range.

Thanks! I'll do some more research on that.

My mistake... In the first post I forgot to mention that whatever light it is can only be a max of 4 inches wide, so unfortunately this wouldn't work for me. I'll keep it in mind though for my next tank.

I'll definitely have to look into that, thanks!
