i bought the 48 inch for my 55 gal and it looks awesome, plants are doing good

I just bought two sets of the 30" for my African tank and I really like them. I have added one white strip light to each side and now Im searching for 2 30" blue strips to add to the third slots. I replaced my old hooded fluorescent lights and really like the depth and shimmer of the LEDs. TIP! If you don't like the gap between the glass top and the lights (I hated it) you can take of the slid mounts off and until I find something better, I ran black electrical tape along the front to cover the space where the lights reflect on the glass top. Much better!

You can pick them up at any Petsmart or online at Amazon

I just bought this lamp and it's pretty awesome and for a good price too! My only gripe is that there's not different modes for just lighting one individual bulb at a time if you have 3 different color bulbs. I guess you could unplug which ever bulb you didn't want to light up if you wanted to?

I own same lights and love them but need to add lamps. Any idea where I can but the strips online?

Nice review, but - the blue spectrum is actually the wavelength used for most photosynthesis (between about 400nm and 500nm, with additional photosynthetic activity in the red 625nm to 700nm range). There is no photosynthetic activity from light in the green spectrum; the reason plants look green to us is because they reflect those wavelengths while absorbing (and using) the other wavelengths.
- scroll down about 1/3 of the way

Have you noticed any funny algae growing or any difference in plant activity since purchasing these lights? Thanks

Do you think these LED's are brighter than a double Florescent setup? I LOVE the night time BLUE light feature, but it's still a costly item to buy.

I'm wondering since about a 1/2 gap is between the glass & LED, Vs a hood. I would think you might get brighter lighting with the old school lights.



I appreciate any feedback.

Also, can anyone chime in and give their opinion on which bulb they prefer

The COLOR MAX, VS the DAY WHITE??

Also, does anyone think

I got two 18 inch modules on sale at petco for $5.99 each.

[SuperKillifish]

What size is the tank?

I have seen the bulbs on Ebay.

[lauradahlus]

Are your plants happy with the lighting?

[yogosans]

Will this work for a 20 gallon long tank?

[justinbelgart]

So this light will grow plants? Im looking to get one

[gangsterp]

Do you know any places online that actually sells the LED replacement bulbs? I looked all over for it and I can't find it (even on the Aqueon site)

[KJJuon]

you have to go back to the store from my understanding Aqueon was bought out and now Petco is the only place they sell them and you can't special order

[jonathanmaya]

Hey how is this doing for you still? I'm thinking of getting one for my planted tank. Just not to sure if it's bright enough

I had to remove the h___://w___ (and the rest of those letters here... ugg) in order to include the link for the information source, just add it back in if you want to read more.

Build your own. I bought one of these and the LEDs crapped out over the span of only one year. Allot better and less expensive to DIY.

if anyone is looking for the strips look on amazon.com

[garnettjohnson]

Negative it's sold online and at Petsmart.
