Led Light Suggestions For 40g Breeder (low To Med Tech)

[yinoma2001]

Thank goodness for Father's Day. I've already began accumulating my own present on behalf of my kids and wife.

Anyways, I bought a 40G breeder, and will have mostly low to some medium light plants. I need some lights but don't want to break the bank at this point ($50-ish). Here is what I've seen. Can people weigh in on which is the best at the price point?

1. NICREW ClassicLED Plus LED Aquarium Light, Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light for Freshwater

2. NICREW Planted Plus Aquarium Light, Freshwater Aquarium LED Light with Remote Controller, 24/7 Automated Aquarium Lighting, 30 to 36-Inch, 22W


3. BeamsWork DA FSPEC LED Aquarium Light Pent Freshwater


4. Beamworks Beamswork DA 6500K 0.50W Series LED Pent Aquarium Light Freshwater Plant Discus


5. Finnex Stingray Aquarium LED Light


I understand there are many infinitely better options out there for just $50 more, but I'm really trying to stay at the $50 range at this point.

The nicrew classic is a good light for the money I bought a 48" one about a month ago and it is good nice and bright for a 21" deep tank so for the 40 gal breeder should do good.

Thanks. A few questions:

1. how are adjustable legs and do they feel stable? (I'm going to put a glass lid over the tank).

2. is it basically on/off, moonlight/off?

The legs are ok to on my tank but I don’t have them out to far because I bought the 48”-53” and my tank is 48”x18x21” I also have class tops on my tank. Here are pictures of the light on my tank it is real bright and does a good job getting to the bottom of my tank.
