Rita Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hello! So I’m starting a 20 gal long planted tank (waiting on my Co Op plant order as we speak!) and had a lighting question. I ordered predominantly easy low light plants since I’m brand new to this, and I have a FluvalSmart aqua sky light. How do I know if this light will emit low, medium or high light? I understand the depth of the tank matters (12 in high), and the light sits directly on top of the glass lid, maybe an inch gap. Does anyone have any experience with this light for planted tanks?

ADMWNDSR83 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I don't have the Aquasky, but I did some research on it when I was in the market for new lights. One of the benefits of the Fluval is customization. I would say you can always dial your lighting in brighter or dimmer based on the reaction of the plants.

mouseturd13 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Curious if you ended up getting this @Rita. I was considering this light as well. I read one review that said it was not as bright as a stock light from a tank someone bought, but who knows what exactly that means. I only have a 10 gallon so I am a little scared of over doing my lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseturd13 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That looks great! Thanks for sharing! I might have to get myself a light now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 @Rita Yep, in a 20 long that will provide plenty of light. I'd even use that on a deeper 20, 29, or 55 gallon tank. @mouseturd13 I use this on my 10 gallon tanks. in one setup, a row of 4 10's I use 2 lights for all four tanks.
