Led Rope Light Questions

So my question for everyone is I'll be setting up 4 planted breeder tanks 10 gallon each on a 48 inch stand. Substrate will include 75% black diamond sand and 25% aquasoil. I have gotten a 16ft led rope light with a 4:1 ratio red to blue it will be suspended 16 in above substrate will this be adequate lighting for foreground and mid level plants?

 

Welcome to Fishlore hope you get some responses today

 

Thanks

 

It's impossible to know for sure without a PAR meter, but generally cheap lights that are not specifically geared towards aquarium plants don't do extremely well.

 

I looked at the amazon link for a minute, and I do think they will work- but not as a single strand. I think you would need to loop it back and forth so you have 3-4 strands over each aqaurium.
If you look at the photos on the amazon link they are shown installed in fairly dense patterns over the plants.
