LED Aquarium Light, 24/7 Custom Timer, Power-Off Memory,7-Row LED 12-18in Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light, 8 Colors, 20 Brightness, Day&Night Cycle, Adjustable Mount for Freshwater Plant Growth

UPDATE #2 I upgraded my original review from 2-5 stars The customer service has been excellent from this seller. After I got my massive algae outbreak under control(see below) I purchased the upgraded version of this light which now has the ability to change brightness and color in 24/7 mode. The only way to tell if you receive the upgraded version ( because the old and new are currently mixed together at the warehouse) is to look at page 10 of the manual. If the top line on the page says time, color, brightness, you received the newer version. There is a battery backup in the control that saves current settings in case of a power outage which is a great feature. There are helpful programming videos explaining how to set up the controls, so it's not as complicated as it initially seemed. I am currently running 2 different sizes of this light on 2 separate tanks and have been very pleased with the newer version. My plants are doing great and there's no algae outbreak in sight. I will buy more in the future. ORIGINAL REVIEW. The controls are quite complicated to program on this very bright light. The biggest problem that I have experienced is that there is no way to dim the light intensity level when on 24/7 mode, which resulted in a MASSIVE hair algae outbreak that covered all of my plants, glass and rocks in a surprisingly short period of time. I have pulled out an entire tank full of live plants 3 times and dipped them in diluted peroxide followed by dosing of liquid carbon to try to keep them from dying due to algae suffocation. I have also removed all of the hardscape and scrubbed it down to remove the blanket of algae covering it as well. I have been doing 50% water changes every 3 days for the past 4 weeks because the algae returns so rapidly. I have even done total blackouts which helped, but once I turned the light back on for 2 hours per day, for the plants survival, poof! the algae returned with a vengeance. I have become a slave to my aquarium, spending many hours per week battling this scourge. It will be a miracle if my plants survive, because they are all currently melting. Once this algae sets in it seems to be very difficult to overcome. I finally resorted to replacing this high intensity light with the old kit light that came with my aquarium and so far the algae has not returned. UPDATE #1: Customer service reached out to me several hours after posting this review and offered me an upgraded replacement that allows brightness adjustment in 24/7 mode or a refund. Customer service has been excellent. I am willing to try the upgraded light, since I was happy with the quality. Regarding the difficult programming of the light schedule, customer service sent me more detailed directions and is also willing to help program specific times if needed. This company has been very willing to stand behind their product, which I really appreciate. I will be happy to try the upgraded version.

I have this light on a 40g Marineland breeder tank that has a 36”x18” footprint. This pic was taken with the light set at 10% brightness on full spectrum. Without a doubt, if you want to grow plants this is an absolute powerhouse. My Cichlid breeder tank has fake plants in it as the cichlids will eat live plants and in a 40g they serve to break up sight lines and reduce aggression. This tank was set up 2 weeks ago and is cycling with 1 fish in there. Programming takes some time but once you figure it out the light is awesome on its 24/7 setting that starts with a yellow sunrise migrating to full day sunshine to a yellow sunset to blue moonlight to off. All fully programmable for color, time and brightness. Well worth the extra $. If you want to grow live plants I can’t even imagine how well they would do under a light that can deliver so much power if you turn it up. I have to keep it lower with fake plants to avoid an algae bloom. With a tank packed full of live plants you’ll grow a jungle in no time.

It took a while to choose a replacement light for my fish tank. I needed something 24" wide to fit in my old fluorescent housing and this worked perfectly. The LED light quality looks good to me. I do not another one to compare it to so all I can say is that it is an good upgrade to my fluorescent light. I wanted a programmable one because I did not know what light level I would like. This was a good economical choice for me. I am still trying to figure out the programming. So far I have it turning on and off by itself. Brightness and color can be adjusted. There is also a night time setting. There are a lot of directions provided but there are so many steps involving pressing different buttons one or twice or holding a button down for 3 seconds that I cannot recall my choices fast enough to get to the next step before "programming mode" turns off.

This product is amazing.The only thing is that when you have to set app the timer and set the way you want your lights, there is no automatic on and off timer like other setups or pre Program , you have to program it yourself. But they do have directions on how to do so, it took me a minute to do it, and I'm kind of technical savvy, but I am most definitely buying more for my other fish tanks that I have. I love all the different colors that it has.The sunrise the sunset. And the moonlighting. But the light is perfect for if you wanna set up the lighting, the way you want it.And once you figure it out , it's easy. You can't beat it for the price point. The top of the light is not that hot.It is warm and you can touch it when it's on.It's not gonna burn you. Now we're gonna see how long it will last The light I have on. There is the 30 to 36 inch.

This is my favorite aquarium light I own! Programming is a little confusing at first but no big deal. Super durable, I've used it for months now with no issue. Super bright, grows plants like no tomorrow!

Seems to work fine. I purchased this to replaced a Hygger light that was very similar. However this Seaoura has more options and is easier to program. The light is a nice color and is very bright. I had to reduce mine to 75 percent on the daylight for my African Cichlid tank.

At first I thought this light was just a cheap light, but after buying 2 of the 4ft lights these things are great!! My plants came back to life!! I had current USA lights but they just were not that bright and not full spectrum, my plants were alive but not thriving, now they are and I’ve just had the lights for a month now, great lights you could charge a lot more for these it’s worth it!!! Plus the programming was super easy just took me a couple of times to get it where I wanted it! Thank you for a great product with honest reviews.

Day 1 with this light and already super satisfied with it, if it doesn't hold up to this review I will revise. I got this light all setup on my community tank and was so impressed with the vibrant colors, brightness, glofish capability, the white light, brightness adjustments, etc. I decided to grab a second one that is still on the way, for my axo tank. A light on an axo tank? YUP, this is the light for them, you can make the light so soft it won't disturb them, and with the wide array of color, you can give them a colorful yet beautiful display. My setup is still not fully done but I'll include a shot of the community tank with the blue light at 80% this is the best light I've owned thus far being into aquariums, it may not be the cheapest but it's far from the most expensive, it's a great middle ground light that is for sure.
