LED lighting

[Braydon00]

Hello I'm not sure if this has been asked, but anyway. I am looking to upgrade my lighting in my 90 gallon planted discus tank. I currently have 4 cfl 6500k bulbs, but I want LED. I was thinking of going with TWO finnex fugeray planted plus 48". That way I can control the brightness at times by turning one off so it isn't too bright for the discus. I want to keep the plants and discus happy. So far so good with what I have, just want to upgrade. I'm looking for advice on which led is the best option. I really don't want to spend more than $400. I've also heard of people getting 2 different lights to highlight colors of fish while providing light for the plants. I'm open to any options, I really don't want to waste any money. I have 9 discus in the tank all very healthy and growing nicely.
Thanks guys for taking the time to help me out!

You can get 2 of these and they should do a nice job. Or you can mix it with one for marine and one for plants. Still would be under $100.00

i saw the BUILDMYLED lights in action at NADA Austin.. HANDS DOWN!!! The best lights for bringing out color are from them!!! we moved a few lights around to see difference.. BML was the most awesome!!!

Is the dutch planted 6300k XB with dimmer the way to go?

Second that Skip, you will not be disappointed with the light. It may take awhile to build, just wait. I am really digging my light, plus fish are cool and finally growing some plants. Excellent buy!

How long does it usually take?
