Hi guys, I was just curious what you guys use for lights in a planted tank?
LED wise?

The Marinland Double Bright and Beamsworks High Lumen seem to be the best choices going right now. I have 3x the Beamsworks High Lumen 24" fixtures on my tank, but the only plants that will be in it will be annubias nana...

I personally am looking at the Finnex Ray2. Apparently the best bang for the buck. I really want to get these but needs to be shipped to the border and picked up there! Great par values and a lot of favourable reviews!

Oh the other up-and-comer is this guy: http://www.marineland.com/products/aquarium-lighting/led-aquarium-lighting/led-aquarium-lighting-for-aquatic-plants.aspx#technical

A lil pricier but par data on the site seems pretty good as well.

 I know this is an old post however I too wanted to get the Finnex led light however getting it from the states was difficult. However now there is a supplier in Ontario.  I have read nothing but great things about these lights and they sell reef and plant capable units as well Here is the link.
