Best lighting for plants

[Chiclid addict]

I want to build a tank for a betta I just rescued and it’s gonna be a planted tank so what is the best light under $100 for plants on a 10g

I've had lots of luck with Nicrew lights from Amazon. Their SkyLED+ compares favorably to a Stingray in terms of design (and anecdotally, light output.) I've also got a Finnex Stingray on a 10 gallon, and it does very well. My understanding is that Finnex, and the Coop if you buy through them, is much more likely to stand behind their product than Amazon/Nicrew. For that reason, I keep lids on all my tanks to avoid splashing/drops into the tank.

Finnex Planted clip on.  My 10 gallon test tank has had one since day 1 and I have grown a variety of plants.

Here is the current planting.
