I'm extremely happy with my Current USA LED+ fixture. Seems to be doing OK for my anubias, not sure about other plants.

This is the set up I use for my tank, it still comes on even at the lower light fairly suddenly, but not matter what you do from no light to light will be sudden. If you have the spending money, I'd do the Satellite Freshwater LED + Pro (new model) It has some cool new features the Plus doesn't have. It includes the timer, and auto switches to a moonlight mode after sunset.

Here's a video, if the link doesn't work right, start at just around 1 minute in.

If you want a little more light/features and ability to grow a little more in a low tech, I recommend the Current USA satellite+, it's what I use on my 10gal.

u/Lucosis · 2 pointsr/PlantedTank

I replaced it with a Current Satellite LED+. The standard lighting isn't really sufficient to grow much in the way of plants. Some mosses and some very low light plants are probably your best bet if you keep the stock light.

Hey guys I might buy this light but I also saw a couple in the close price range and was wondering... thoughts?

I use a small Jungle Dawn LED inside the stock ExoTerra hood on my setup. it provides a crazy amount of light while remaining cool to the touch and not cheaping out on the color spectrum. My plants arent particularly picky (just some bromeliads, Philodendron, Pilea, moss etc) but theyre growing really nicely. If the form factor isnt what your after, the same site has some other options from Current USA, who make a lot of very well-regarded lights for aquarium hobby.

&amp;#x200B;

More generally, any LED/flourescent light intended to grow plants will be fine, since dart frogs are ambivalent to UVB, and heating is often easier to accomplish with an under-tank heater and a thermostat. Amazon has tons of great aquarium lights ranging from the $20 Chinese ones (a buddy of mine runs this on his big ExoTerra with tincts) up to much pricier options from more well-established brands and plenty of stuff intended for herps. Just scope out a good mix of price and form factor.

You already have a lot of good info so I'll keep it short.

20G long, I have one and it's plenty big and perfect for beginners.

A good LED strip (Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Plus Light for Aquarium, 48 to 60-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7OTF9E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_suf4wbZEY2P0K)

Hook it up with one of those sun-sun canister filters off amazon (I have one and I love it). The more filtration and circulation , the better.

For fish I recommend Clown Killifish, they are small, you can have a lot of them (3 females to every male), and they are hardy! I also recommend Galaxy rasboras (aka celestial pearl danios) they are lovely, fun to watch, and hardy.

Definitely get some red cherry shrimp but make sure they have moss. If you ever want some I sell them on r/aquaswap I'll also directed you to r/plantedtank and r/jarrariums

Depends on the kit. This one is 48 inches that has arms that extend to 60 inches. The standard Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Light for Aquarium for $59 on Amazon. Or the one I got for by Display tank. $137 https://www.amazon.com/Current-USA-Satellite-Freshwater-Aquarium/dp/B00C7OTF9E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1493156077&amp;amp;sr=8-2&amp;amp;keywords=satellite+led+aquarium+lighting
