Beamswork For Deep Tank

  • #1
Hey all,
Going to be biting the bullet this month and buying a proper LED light for my 50 Gallon long.
Right now I have my eye on a Beamswork DA 6500K 48" LED bar, but will this be enough? I'm hoping to get this going into a true planted tank, and I'm concerned this won't be enough by itself for how deep the aquarium is (approx 20 inches tall).
Because of how narrow the tank is it would be hard to have a second light beside it, so I want to make sure this will be enough.

I'm far from an expert, but I have a beamswork LED bar for my 29 gallon, which is 18 inches tall. It is nice and bright, and allows both the pennywort and the javafern to grow. I think your light would function with your aquarium, and if for some reason it doesn't, you could always turn to low-light plants

I agree with MegaFish1117. The DA should be enough for low-medium light plants. But, I would add another one to add more light if you want to have a fully planted tank.

Only issue with adding a second light is the space at the top.. Ive still got HOB filters, so adding two light beams would give me almost no room to maneuver for feeding/maintenance unless I suspend them.. which is a whole different ball game, especially in an apartment Ill go with the one for now, and it will still be worlds better than what's on it! Thanks for the input

I have a Beamswork DA 6500k 36" on a 40 gallon breeder (16" deep) and it's very bright. You should be fine.
