Bulbs produce only a cone of light and tubes give more even light distribution.\r\n- Color temperature could be anything from 5000K to 7,000K. It's better to have some blues as in aquarium lights, but even daylight shop light or desktop lamp will work good enough for basic plants without special requirements.\r\n- Double check if you really need 100W LED for this tank, consult with r/PlantedTank, mentioning plants you want to keep. For low tech planted tank without CO2 injections, complex fertilizing and frequent rimming, [18W](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01ID3OK3S/ref=twister_B07DPQP3M8?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;th=1) should be enough, or you can get overheated tank, filled with algae.\r\n- No UV lights instead of blue lights. If they are truly UV, this is dangerous and hot helping to the plants or animals, being beyond useful range see \"planted tank spectrum for photosynthesis\". Use blue light instead, low intensity, like a moonlight. For LEDs it could be 4.5-6W. 12W total could be too much, but I am not a planted tank expert, just a plain user.\r\n    - There are UV *sterilizers*, where water is exposed to UV in the safe way, encased and the speed of flow is regulated for the task at hand.","subreddit_name":"Aquariums","author":"dt8mn6pr"},{"body":"I have an led light with 2 150 watt ceramic heaters so she is getting her heat with really good light.

Currently on my 2nd day with water and 20lbs of eco complete substrate in the tank. Today I added the filter and ammonia to start the cycle. This weekend I'd like to pick up some plants and I've been looking at lights on amazon. I've got a 20 Gallon long tank with a glass lid on the way and am looking at getting some amazon swords, java moss, java fern, and anubias barteri. Also looking at getting some ohko rock and driftwood for scaping and the plants to attach to. The plan for animals is currently cherry/ghost shrimp, corycats, 5-8 small schooling fish, and 1 longfin betta.","subreddit_name":"Aquariums","author":"TheFlyingAlbino"},{"body":"- If You Can, Get a Aqueon Tank - Only because Aqueon Also Sell Tops Separately, But you May have to Buy the Top online.
