led options for 36 inch fluorescent tube fixture

Are their any led that fits like a fluorescent tube into my fixture?

 

I'm not entirely sure what you mean?

Do you mean a strip of LEDs that is powered by your existing fixture? i.e. that plugs in like a tube?

 

Yeah. Weird question I know. Lol

 

Not weird, and yes they do exist:



I got the above from a quick google search on "leds for fluorescent tube"

 

I must have typed in everything but that lol. Ill check it out. There are no real benefits from led is there?

Depends on the setup, but the primary benefits of LEDs

- Cheaper to run, they use less power
- Never need to replace the bulbs (by never, I think it's estimated at 50,000hrs life)
- Bulbs don't fade/diminish over time
- They run cooler than T8, T5 and MH
- Smaller fixtures

I don't know how far advanced the LEDs are for a planted aquarium, but certainly for general non-planted they are fine, and for SW/Reef setups they are well advanced.

 

FWIW, I'm using a Finnex Ray II 18" LED fixture on my moderately planted 10 gallon and everything is growing like weeds. Only extra things I do are trim and dose flourish every couple of days.
