I would like to purchase an LED light for my 90 gallon Discus tank. I'm going to put Vals and Florida Sunset Crypts. Can someone please give me a link to what I should buy? I just cannot wrap my head around all the lighting choices there are. I would like a unit with an on/off switch. I have a T5HO on my other 90 and it doesn't have an on/off switch.

After looking at the chart I see that the TrueLumen Pro Series, Marineland double bright and ecoxotic panarama. The TrueLumen and Ecoxotic look like they need to be put together. The Marineland one is the only one that looks familiar to me but, has a lot of negative comments....
My plants will be here next week and I'm so lost in lighting...

I suggest using a pair of 24 inch long Finnex Fugeray lights. That will give you at least acceptable low light and possibly a bit more, and their coverage from front to back of the tank is good too. I don't know how much they cost. There is a 48 inch version too, but no data for that one yet.

Thank you so much! I will take a look at those.

My friend bought this in the freshwater version with 6500K LEDs. Do you have any experience with this brand? He doesn't have the freshwater version up on ebay right now but, will have them again soon.

I didn't know we couldn't put ebay links on here....sorry.
