Recommendation for light for 24" tall tank
I recently got a marineland 60 gallon tank. It is tall! It came with some leds I don't think are going to cut it even though the plants I have are low light. Substrate is Eco complete and i dose ferts and liquid co2. Do you have any recommendations for lighting possibly under $100? Also I do have some aponogetons growing pretty well and see a new flower coming up. What are some neat tall plants I can out with the aponogetons? I'm looking at Madagascar lace but would like something that will fill in the background more that isn't Val (unless that's only my really option)

I've only had mine for a few days, but I'm pleased with it so far.Yup.. Been hearing a lot of good things about that fixture..
Wait... that's an LED fixture that pulls 165 watts!?!?
Not a pro, but can this be true?

Bump:
You should post a picture of it.. ^_^I've only had mine for a few days, but I'm pleased with it so far.
Well.. yes and no..They use 55 3W diodes BUT do not rum them at 3W..Wait... that's an LED fixture that pulls 165 watts!?!?

Most internal constant current drivers output around 500mA..
Probably closer to 2W each..
So the "real" power output is like 110W..
Ahh yes! I was trying to remember the name of this lighting. Thank you.I recently got a marineland 60 gallon tank. It is tall!

I will have to look into these. I like the style of them.Chinese "black box" finally goes fw... nice find..

I got a really good deal on a 48 inch finnex 24/7 and so far the red plants are gaining their color back and crypts and putting out leaves. New growth in my sword plant, crinum calimastratum, and cyperus helferi. Will probably add a second light though soon.
What are the dimensions of the tank?

The depth is nothing for a pent 0.5w beamswork LED. You don't list the length, but you should be able to find one for under $100. I bought a 72" light for $120-130.

I was looking into purchasing one just to have extra light. So it's good enough for most plants at that depth? With substrate its sitting at 22 inches.The depth is nothing for a pent 0.5w beamswork LED. You don't list the length, but you should be able to find one for under $100.

That light has 10,000k whites, which I have had success with on a shrimp tank.
This is the light I currently have:

I don't see it in 48" on Amazon, you can find it elsewhere though.
24" to substrate is about 40 par. That's medium light and can grow anything with CO2. Raise it a couple inches off the top of the tank via the legs and add some floating plants and it's a great low tech light. Run it for about 6 hours a day and adjust it after a couple weeks if you want a longer light window or see algae growing.
