Lighting for Discus Tank

[DiscusDish]

Hi,
I am planing on getting new lighting. A bar light to be specific. I have been eyeing the Nicrew lights as they fit right into my budget. Are they any good? Could you suggest any under 100$. Thanks!

Finnex makes a good one. I got mine from Miranda at Chicago Discus. They're dealers.

[DiscusDish]

Sweet. Thanks Liz!

Not sure how good it'll make discus look since I don't have mine yet (still in fishless cycle), but I'm using the Beamswork DA FSPEC. The 48" variant is only $70 from Amazon, and so far I like the way it looks - a little on the blue side, but the plants don't seem to mind.

Thanks. I will consider these options. The Finnex is a bit pricey as I can only get it on eBay and the shipping is costly. The Nicrew is my best bet right now as it basically only has 4 and 5 star reviews. I will still consider the other lights as well.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

The Beamswork that you were talking about is 174.99 for me,
Canada’s prices are a bit on the high end. Oh well. I’ll keep looking.

You could order the Finnex through Miranda at Chicago Discus.

Thank you.

ChicagoDiscus, it says that you don’t ship to Canada when I try to calculate shipping. Oh well.

[LizStreithorst]

Well, that's a big shame. You'd love how that light makes the colors on the Discus stand out.

I just ordered mine from Miranda. Thanks Liz.

Maybe that's just fish. Email her directly.

[DiscusDish]

Ok, thank you.

Frank is right. Give her a call.
