How to Choose LED Lights for a Planted Freshwater Aquarium
Planted tanks need the right light intensity and spectrum. A practical guide to picking an aquarium LED by tank size, plant type, and light color.
Aquarium LED Lights
The same LED engineering that powers our grow lights drives our aquarium lighting — full-spectrum diodes, even photon distribution, and passive cooling in a water-friendly housing.
Aquarium lighting is a spectrum and intensity game: freshwater plants want the blue/red balance that drives photosynthesis, while reef tanks need the higher intensity and actinic blue that supports coral. Every GoldenBuds aquarium light is PPFD-mapped and spectrally tested in-house, so you get measured data, not marketing claims.
