the fluvial co2 kit is silly and not worth it. you'd spend more with the replacement carts over time than you would just getting a proper setup.

I'd actually say get the fugeray, as the planted+ is more PAR and the fugeray is already enough PAR without doing pressurized co2. You'd be good for medium light plants for sure.

I agree with hybridherp. Finnex planted+ is too bright for a 10g w/o CO2. Fugeray is a better choice. You can also consider the Current Sat+ LED, same price range as fugeray, same light level, but a lot more effects, especially with custom colors for your tank. Yellow setting is best for plants though w/the sat+.

Theyre pretty close.... If the 10g is 20x12, (the fixtures aren't the same size with both companies)

At 12 inches
with a 16 inch fixture, fugeray par is 30
with a 20 inch fixture, fugeray par is 43

With the sat+ 18 inch fixture @ 12 inches, par is 36

That's not including substrate.
