30g long, tropical fish, planted tank (not heavily planted).

Just tell me which one to buy. I'm sick of thinking about it!

Thanks!
 
I have the classic 2 in one of my tanks and I am very happy with it.
My tank is a 22G long and I have it dialled right down to 40% output. That's plenty for my plants - even the red ones

Thanks so much for that picture. I think I'm going to order that one.
 
Also had the gen2 and got good results, the pic in my sig has the gen2
 
Wow, good lights make all the difference. How can one determine the proper light levels for their tank? By this I mean adjusting RGBW levels.
 
Shallow tanks will need adjusting. I have a Nicrew and my tank is 11.25" tall and has a lot of Hornwort, light is on for no longer than 8 hours a day.

(It definitely grows plants. ;))

I would go with the Gen2 if I were you.

My tank being 21 inches tall, doesn't require a decrease in light frequency? I intend to plant for the first time when it starts to get warm outside.

Brighter lights are better for taller tanks. Since the Gen2 is 50% brighter than the Classic, it should do well in your tank.
 
Another major plus for having real lights is that I'm a maintenance beast now. Being able to clearly see algae and other blemishes. I'm constantly polishing and scraping nowadays. :drool:

I see you're a broad-spectrum hobbyist as well. It's one of my favored traits in other folks.
