is this light good for my tank?

I bought a light for my 120 gallon tall tank that has glass lids/canopies measurements are 60"x18"×26"

The light has the following specs:



Includes 105LEDs

• 48x10000K cool white

• 45x Actinic Blue 460nm

• 6xRed 620-625nm

• 6xGreen 520-525nm

• Lumen : 6300

• Super energy efficient 0.50 watt LEDs

Seems pretty good from the specs. Could used a few more red and green but should be good. Am sure you will get good growth with that light. Hopefully @jeffkrol chimes in as he's the expert

sounds really "cool" light color wise. i'm guessing its an aquaneat light looking at the specs? if it were me lighting this tank (I have one same size i've research a lot) I would look into a pair of 30" Beamswork 6500k dual row 3watt lights from top dog sellars. prolly the best bang for buck option.


that said sounds like you already bought the light so I guess you can see how it works out for you. with these chinese lights I personally like 100 lumens per gallon as a good starting point for a lowtech tank, not the 100% best option but a good starting point.

thanks.
