Hey guys,

So I have a very awkward 50gl tall aquarium. Its approximately 18x20x30, Ive posted about it in some of the other sections before. The lighting I currently have isn't bad, but I am looking to get some ground cover plants so I'm trying to get something that will reach a little further without spending to much money or running up my electric bill. I was thinking of getting a 30w or 2 20w led flood lights. These are the ones I was looking at, but I'm not sold on any particular ones yet.

What are you guys opinions on this? Feel free to point me to another thread about this if there is one, but I usually can't find great answers for my oddball sized tank. Thanks.

I'd use caution with those cheap ebay single led high wattage deals, someone on Reef Central had one start a fire awhile back.

What are you using for light now? What would you be willing to spend?
