Hi, I just currently set up a 5 gallon eheim tank and It comes with a little led light but I'm going to grow DHG and its not enough light so I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers or light fixtures that I can look in to. Thank you !!
Fluval has a smaller fixture for their Ebi that does well on smaller tanks. I have seen it for sale individually on many websites before. I use something similar on a 3 gallon pico and just angle it to diminish the light intensity
Indeed, though you could go for a cheaper and more easily controlled option of simply using a clip on light and a CF spiral bulb in 6500K spectrum. Raising the lamp is easy and just set up a timer and you'll be good to go. Not as polished looking as the fluval, but just as useful.
Finnex makes some great LED fixtures. Fuge Ray or Ray II are popular ones around here. I'm currently using a Ray II on my 5 gal and if you want high light that will grow plants fast I would suggest it.
