I've tried searching for info about led lights that also have the 660nm red channel, but everything I could find related to aquatic plants was quite vague and contradictory. One article was saying that they reduce algae, another that they might help algae grow. Do you guys have any experience...

Hi, Just wondered what lights people are running on their nano or cube tanks? Im running a heavily planted 40cm Cube with stock AquaOne LED lighting. Recently started injecting CO2 and am thinking the light could do with an upgrade too. I'm looking at the Kessil A80 - the gooseneck mounting...
