Hi all, new on the board as of today
Been in the hobby for a long time but got out for quite a while and ready to make a come back.
I'll be setting up a standard 75 gallon low-light, low-tech tank with a sand bottom for Discus and want to grow some plants but not go crazy with them. Maybe some type of Val and an Amazon Sword would be nice too. Other low-light plants are fine too but like I said, don't want to get too crazy with them.
I would rather stay with LED but only if it's do-able in my situation. Would a single 48" Fugeray Planted+ get the job done or possibly a Sat+??
I like BML's stuff but that's really blowing my budget and would rather stay around $150 for lights but I'm really digging the LED's.
I just don't want to get into a situation where I buy (1) LED setup and find that i's not enough to grow plants and I have to buy a second light setup which would put me at about the cost of a single BML.
I almost talked myself into a Catalina 48" 3x54watt T5HO but I would rather have the LED's if they will work.
Anyway, thanks for any input you can provide and looking forward to getting back into this!!
