Hey currently have a 100L(75*40*35cm) planted aquarium which I'm going to rescape soon.
Will change the substrate from gravel to fluval aquasoil and will have inline co2.
For plants it's going to be rotalas in the background(blood red, HRA, orange juice), blyxa and hair grass as carpet so I want to get them nice red and what would help would be getting new lights for better colour rendition.

I've found 2 which would fit my tank(will hang from ceiling). One is the more powerful Week aqua a430 pro which I think will be able to cover the tank(hopefully) or P600 pro which would also work.

Currently I leaning more towards the A430 pro as I want to buy a good powerful light which I might be able to use in the future too.
My only concern right now is that will the A430 be enough to not have dark spots in the corner and what would you recommend?

A430 pro US listed as 120 watts.
Week aqua doesn't " endorse" it for a 75mm tank (42 mm long light) though with that power you can afford to lose done by hanging it a bit higher..

The other one is around 60cm-ish cm I believe so yea a bit better fit at " normal" height
Overall they are very similar and each seems to have plenty of power for your tank/ goals.
 
Yeah will try hang it a bit above, going for a long wood out the tank too so hopefully the A430 will be good enough to cover the space.
