Aquael Leddy Slim 32w Plant White 80-100cm

Description

Aquael Leddy Slim 32w Plant White 80-100cm — Full-length LED bar for planted tanks 80 to 100 cm

A planted display tank needs enough light reaching every leaf along its length, not just a bright middle fading toward the ends where a smaller lamp runs out of reach. Aquael Leddy Slim 32w Plant White 80-100cm (SKU: 102406) is the 32 W size in Aquael’s Leddy Slim Plant line, built for open freshwater tanks from about 80 to 100 cm long (Aquael’s spec sheet extends the sliding brackets to 107 cm), running the Plant spectrum at roughly 8,000 K with red and blue wavelengths emphasised for photosynthesis over the green that mainly serves viewing. The lamp sits flat on the glass rim in a white finish, with the same shape also sold in black elsewhere in the range for a different aesthetic.

Universal sliding brackets extend to fit both the standard 80 to 100 cm width and non-standard tank sizes within that range, and the lamp can also be suspended from the ceiling using the optional Leddy Slim Hanger kit, which Aquael builds specifically for this 32 W size, rather than resting on the glass. Aquael describes the Plant version’s self-repair design as a set of backup LEDs that stay inactive when the lamp is new and switch on automatically if a primary diode fails, keeping output steady rather than letting it fade section by section as individual LEDs age. The required light intensity varies with the plants kept: carpeting and high-light stem species need more of this lamp’s output than shade-tolerant ferns or anubias in the same tank, and Aquael notes the Plant spectrum is intended to support photosynthesis rather than simply brighten the water.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Full-length planted display tanks: Open freshwater aquariums from 80 to 100 cm long.
• Mixed planting demands: Tanks running both high-light stems and shade-tolerant species under one lamp.
• Replacing twin fluorescent planted tubes: Consolidating older T5 or T8 lighting into one LED bar.
• Custom tank widths to 107 cm: Sliding brackets extend beyond the nominal 100 cm where needed.

How to Use / Installation Process

• Extend the brackets fully: Match the sliding arms to the tank’s rim width before fitting the lamp.
• Set a standard photoperiod: 8 to 10 hours is a common starting point for a mixed planted tank.
• Balance light with CO2 and nutrients: A growth-biased spectrum run without adequate CO2 or fertiliser can favour algae over plants.
• Fit the hanger kit for suspension: Use the 32 W Leddy Slim Hanger to lift the lamp clear of tall hardscape.
