I am gonna try again my luck with plants!
I just bought a couple dozen giant Marimo Moss Balls, a dozen Anubias and a dozen Java Ferns. All low light for a 46 gallon bowfront what is the best led light to purchase and how long should I leave it on?

My options were the finnex plant light, current plus, fluval led etc...

Thanks in advance...

Just switched out a eco led strip with a fluval sky led but Anubias actually did well the Java Fern struggled my timer is set 10:40 am to after 6 pm. Tbh from using Java Fern, Java Moss, and Anubias they don't require high light output just nutrients from fish waste or flourish tabs.
 
Thanks bro I saw those Fluval Aquaskys they are nice.
I almost got a current orbit but then realized it was for coral and won't work well with freshwater plants.
The current USA are on special on Amazon now for 85 I am tempted to get one of them.

I will also add those nutrients good call!

A good LED light would be worth the investment! Just don't overdo it, with high light comes high fertilizer needs!

My last attempt I managed to have at least a few hundred dollars of Anubias mother plants die on me. I think I might of had to much light on them plus they got some direct sunlight.
I am planning on tying the Java Fern and Anubias to driftwood.

I was researching the Anubias has anyone had any luck floating all of it on the back of the aquarium?
I was also thinking of having an anubias only tank outside in Miami in the shade?
I am determined not to have them all die on me like many times before.
 
My floating anubias gets BBA. Anubias really isn't hard to kill, try simple lighting and Seachem flourish and you should be okay.
