Which light color is best suited for a planted aquarium?

For a planted aquarium, a special combination of light colors is recommended for vibrant plant growth. The GROWx5 and PLANT-GROW LED bars or those with a higher red component, such as SUNSET or TROPIC LED bars (3500 or 4500 Kelvin), are particularly suitable. A mix of SUNSET, DAY, POLAR (or alternatively TROPIC, DAY, SKY) covers almost the entire color spectrum. These combinations have proven effective and are excellent for day simulation. With less planting, combinations like SUNSET+SKY or TROPIC+POLAR might be a good choice. Red or reddish light, such as RED or GROWx5 and PLANT-GROW, further enhances growth and highlights red plants and fish. Our aquaLUMix compact lights are already optimally configured, with the AMAZON-GROW variant for optimal plant growth including GROW LED bars. The choice of light colors may also be a matter of personal taste.
