I think this would work for two boards...

4000k has been working really well for me, if that helps at all! All of my plants have good strong growth.
Yeah, along with the 6500k T5's I think it will be great! How "natural" is the light color?
Almost impossible to find anything above 4000k...
Slight yellow/warm cast, kinda like old school incandescents. I don't have any 6500k T5's in mine right now:

I like how the feeder cup hides in there! I was thinking of foaming mine in to look more natural but still be removable to clean.
Hey @cyberlocc , thanks for the help with all this info! I will admit, your explanation made sense and made my decisions easier! I remember some of the details from long ago studies that made the whole thing kinda gel and make my decision easier. I think if you can put all of this into a form that anyone could understand without getting intimidated it would make an awesome feature for this site! I have started the final phases of my design and will definitely be sharing my final results!
Please keep any recommendations coming!!! Lots to be learned from this topic!!!!
Wait which part? The lights or the Bio?
I struggle with simplifying things, but I will give it a shot .
You got a picture of the lights ? An where did you get them if you don’t mind me asking4000k has been working really well for me, if that helps at all! All of my plants have good strong growth.
Which one are you using there is like 3 of them ? Send a link pleaseFluval makes lights for planted aquariums. Their app control is awesome. I’m using one of my old fluval aquarium lights in my vivarium.
Has anyone ever used these ?
@Decadancin what did you decide on your lighting? I don't see the QB288 V1s on HLG's website anymore.
I like the idea of something like this but am concerned how deep the lights will penetrate. Would be nice to have variable intensity throughout the day. $185.00 for this setup...

The one I have is for marine aquariums. Fluval sea 3.0. I just used that cause I already had it. I figure if it will grow corals and anemones, it will grow some plants. So far my setup is working out really well. 2 incandescent basking bulbs, one 36” uvb and one 36” led in an enclosure that’s 46” wide if I recall correctly.Which one are you using there is like 3 of them ?
