I bought a Marineland 29g biowheel with LED's for a family Christmas present. I want to do a planted aquarium and just recently learned that the LED's are NOT good for plants. Does anyone have this aquarium and know if you can change the lights out?

Here is my 10g marineland LED kit I bought 6 months ago and the plants you see are from bulbs so I would think that LED lighting is just fine.

and here is my 46G bow front with a marineland LED light.

Thank You So Much!!! This has made me feel so much better!!! Are you just using gravel for your substrate?

You are most welcome.

The only time I wouldn't do LED is salt water reef.

On my 46G yes,
My 10g you see in the picture above was before I got the 46G
and the 10G is now my hospital/brooding tank.

I now have sand in the 10G.

up to recently I have always used gravel a substrate.

using sand takes patience
once you rinse the sand carefully then you will need a clarifying agent like bio magnet.
then add water conditioner and plants.
and if you have some seed stock from your LFS or a another friend.
start the cycle.

you can see the blue filter I put in the 46g to seed it with the BB
to keep the cycle going in my 10g after I filed it with water from the 46G
to move the Dalmatian fry over to the 10g

I plan to start my 29 with eco-complete and all my gravel from my ten. I'm also going to use my filter along with the one that comes with the aquarium, and also all the water

So I've heard... I am going to use it anyways but I will not be buying it again.
