Hey guys, so I have a lighting question. I have a 100 gallon tank the outside dimensions are 60”Lx19”Dx21”H. My question is what do I need for lighting to light the entire aquarium. Right now as it sits, I have two 24” openings with aqueon opti bright lights on them, between them is a 12” glass brace. My problem is both the back of the aquarium and the middle of the aquarium don’t get very much light. And I am wanting to make sure that the whole tank is lit as well as improve the appearance of the color of my fish. No it’s not a saltwater tank but this was one of the few places I found that had forums and chat ability to talk to other people.

What's your budget?
Depends on how good the lighting is. I would like to go with LED lights. And I really don’t need any extras like WiFi capability remote controls and stuff like that. I just want either one or two really good led lights that really being out the contrasts and colors in my tank and fish. When I search I keep seeing the KZKR upgraded led light and was wondering what everyone’s opinion was on them.

I also would prefer for the light to be either two or four 30” lights or one or two 60”
