Cheap reliable led for chaeto growth?

[PegasisR]

Just wanted to ask if there was a good led light that was priced nicely and would grow chaeto nicely? Mainly just want to house copepods, Thank you

How is the growth? also, would it work on 139gal total volume system? Im not having an algae problem but i just want to house cope's is all

Growth is mainly based off of nuitreants and elements in the water but my cheato has doubled in size and my shaving brush grew two new shoots in the past 2 weeks. So it definetly works.

Also is there a tank mount for this?

 

[geddavis]

yes, it comes with a hanging mount and a side mount that needs to be screwd into something

Would this work? I like the one you referred but I need a clamp on style light

I stumbled on this in another thread, by far the best chaeto light I have ever had.

Does it come with an aquarium type mount?

Mars Aqua 300 grows it wonderfully! usually around 60 bucks

No, it comes with a hanging wire kit which worked out pretty good for my application. I have a cross brace directly above the center of my fuge area, a little rigging and I was all set.

I also purchased this one about a week ago it’s on a timer to come on at 10pm and off at 6 am. Haven’t had it long enough for growth comparison yet but Cheato looks happy. Also super slim and light weight I have it hanging on the back of my AIO with 2 command hooks.

Chaeto grows crazy under regular home depot daylight LEDs. In fact, I had to reduce my lighting because I ended up having to dose NO3 and PO4.
