Hey guys, Im revamping my 20 gallon planted tank and had a question on lighting. I have two T5's in there now and I kind of want LED's. I use excel but don't dose with CO2. I wasn't sure what type of LED to get, I don't want to much algae! Thanks,
Jack

I have the 24" Current Satellite+ on my 20 high low tech. Perfect amount of lighting, no algae issues.

I have the Planted + on my 20 tall. Love it. You shouldn't have trouble with algae as long as you control the photo period.

That looks fantastic, thanks for the advice. Is the Current satellite the same light as the "planted +"

I have a 24" monsterray on one 20g High, and a 24" planted+ on another.

The planted+ is noticibly brighter but not to a point where co2 is required.

Thanks! You can see how slim it is. The Current Satellite+ is different than the Finnex Planted+.

Thanks so much for the links, it's greatly appreciated. I feel like i'm hi-jacking my own thread but if I were to get the fluval pressurized CO2 kit would I than be better off with the Finnex +? Sorry for the noob questions, just want to make sure i don't buy the wrong light. Thanks,
