Hi guys

In this post I am trying to decide what light to go with as i need to replace my light on my fluval edge 12 gallon Freshwater planted tank. The first light is made for marine but i am wondering if it will work. I want this one more as it's smaller and I think will fit better  it also has a blue light setting that I like for in the evenings. I'm just not sure if it will be good for lower smaller plants like mini babies tear that carpet the bottom of the tank . The second light is made for planted nano tanks so I thonk it's ok.  Let me know why u think. The pic has both light in it with some specks. Also I'm including the link to the web sight   alsobi am Oleg to suggestions of any other led lights with similar size

Thanks in advance

The spectrum for plants and coral is different so I  would recommend going for the second. The first would have too much blue.
