Went to the LFS today to pick up a light for my 2.5g. Out of stock.

What came home with me instead? You guessed it, a 12g long. It was too pretty to leave there.

I just started with planted tanks, and my current set-ups are teaching me a lot (the hard way). Once I have them running right, I will reward myself by setting this sweet baby up.

This thread totally gave me grabby hands for a 12g long.

I swear I am reading through alllll the journals to find this answer. However, most of you use co2, and that throws things off for me.

Anyone want to help out and recommend a light for a non co2 tank?

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you Hilde! Very helpful.

After an extended troll through the lighting section, and journals, I am pretty interested in the Current Satellite Freshwater LED+. Seems to fit the price/size/PAR/spectrum bill, at least for what I am doing.

Option B is also pretty groovy, and a bit more unusual. But I love A as well.

I bought my 12g long months ago, because they stock them at my LFS for 89 bucks. It has been sitting since March.

Finally got a filter, light, and Aquasoil headed my way. Picked up a craigslist stand for 20 bucks. It's time to get it rolling!

Amazing and wonderful! Thanks for looking out.

I am just mad at you guys a little bit because I thought I had reached my tank limit. And now I will absolutely have to buy a low iron 12g long as soon as it is available.

BTW, not sure if you guys were aware, but we now make a 1.5, 3, and 6
gallon (12", 18", 24") version of the 12 gallon long. Its out there, go find it

Just got my 6 gallon up and running last weekend! It is going to be a brackish opae ula tank. I am really glad you guys offer this footprint.

Finally got mine to journal stage:

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much. That's what happens when I try to multitask at work.

Please tell us about the rocks you have in there! Wonderful!
