Can anyone recommend an LED strip light that would be right for low light plants in a 20" deep tank? The Marineland strip that came with the tank seems very low and is only 36" long. The tank is 48" long. All the plants in the tank are low light so I don't want to overlight them. Learned my lesson with the last led plant light I added to a 20g and got an algae factory.

If you want inexpensive, search eBay or Aquatraders for a 48" 6500K LED fixture. I've got a BeamsWork 48" that worked well for the wisteria and water sprite I had in the tank.

Thanks Joel. I did find one of the Beamswork led strip lights on Aquatraders. Do you think I should use it in conjunction with the Marineland light, or instead of it?

Using both would be a pain and totally unnecessary IMO.
