I have a Superfish 45 Scaper that I’ve been running as a “Dutch style” ( heavily planted) since mid Dec that is viewable from both long sides as it sits on an island in my kitchen.
My plants (stems) are also arranged in an “island” sloping down from one side and surrounded on 3 sides by a lawn of Monte Carlo.
Now that the stem plants are reaching their optimal height I’m finding that having just the single LED light (the Superfish one that came with the tank package) in the middle isn’t throwing enough light on the two long sides, so I’m in the market for a second light.
Now, I’ve got two of these Superfish 45 scaper aquariums, the other one doesn’t suffer from this shadow problem as it has a more traditional cascade of plants from high at the back to low at the front.
The logical choice would be to move the Superfish LED from the second tank to this one and buy a new LED for the second tank. A Superfish 45cm LED of the same part number A4051840 is £43.99.
So question is, should I buy another Superfish LED exactly the same, or is there some other LED unit members can recommend within a similar price bracket I should be looking at that will give better colour results with my plants?
Photos of both tanks attached - hopefully it’s obvious which is which.
