Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you need something quiet, look elsewhere, the fan in this thing is pretty loud.Other than that, I had great PAR values coming from this light with ATI and Geissman bulbs in it.Grew out all types of corals, but probably not as fast as they could have.

(More customer reviews)I have one of these for my 20 gallon and my 55 gallon tanks.... they are AWESOME.
You cannot beat the value of this light. Many companies will sell the same thing for hundreds more. If you're on a budget, this is the thing.
The light fixture comes in different options. Be sure to match it to your needs. I'm freshwater, so no actinic. Mine has the grow light (pinkish), and the full spectrum (white/bluish). The color temperature etc. of this fixture is comparable to higher end setups, for much cheaper. I've been running the 55 gallon setup since I bought these, same with the 20 and haven't replaced a bulb once.
The power drain is minimal if you have em on a timer, and the output is great. There are, of course, better lights, but for the money, this is good for budget minded folks like me.

Product Description:
Our Engineers have developed our moonlights to mimic the light of the moon. R2 Moonlights boast specialized LEDs that produce the same wavelength as that of the moon. This wavelength creates a more natural nighttime environment for aquarium fish, invertebrates and photosynthetic corals. The moon also heavily influences feeding and spawning behavior. R2 moonlights create an ideal natural nighttime environment for optimal viewing!These lightweight durable compact strips utilize ultra blue LEDs spaced at intervals of 2 inches to ensure complete coverage resulting in a beautiful shimmering moonlight effect These compacts are designed to be installed in the same manner as regular aquarium lights, above the acrylic or glass cover. The compact size allows for the R2 Signature Series lights to easily sit beside conventional daylight lighting systems.

Friday, July 29, 2011 Marineland Double Bright LED Light - 18 in. to 24 in. Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My need was for a small 10 gallon "hospital" tank [one of three in the house].
Cheap setup (purposefully so)
Lighting was horrible - one 25w incandescent (or maybe halide) orange tube bulb and a bluish CFL 10w "coral life" [kept blowing CFLs left and right when running two CFLs in the fixture, so that's how the orange tube bulb stuck around]
I saw this LED aquarium light here on Amazon.Already a HUGE fun of GOOD [which usually means expensive] LED lighting. I already use super high end [$90/bulb] Edison replacements and 16w LED shop lights as 48" florescent 40w bulb replacements.
I liked the thin bar design and the low energy 9w design.Ordered for the small tank, and it came today.
I really like the brightness of the 9w II mode - very bright - appears good enough lumens for good plant and algae growth. The 3w I mode shines only the three center blue LEDs giving the tank a funky black light night light look - can't wait to see it tonight after sunset.
If I am still feeling the product love in a few days, I may order two of the 48" versions for the 125 gallon display tank in the front hallway.
Very good product and LED lighting the cheapest thing the run any lighting with, so why not covert the aquariums to LED to save on the electricity bills.
More light with only 25% of the wattage - win-win. Since this aquarium remains lit a lot, the LED lighting will probably pay for itself in a year or so.Recommended - two thumbs up.

Thursday, July 14, 2011 Nova Extreme HO Light Fixture - 4 x 39W - 36 in. - T5 HO Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have the 48" version of these lights and they are great.T5 lights (5/8" in diameter) produce an amazing amount of lumens for their wattage (over T8 or T12).I like that you can control the full daylight lamps, the blue actinic lamps, the moonlights and the fan individually.The only downside to this light system is that the four T5 lights do not have individual parabolic reflectors like the Tek lights.But I still think these lights get 5 stars due to their price.If you need more light output (maybe you're setting up a reef aquarium), then go with the Tek system.I'm doing fish only and I took out two of the four bulbs because it was so bright.
These T5 high output (HO) bulbs also contain alot less mercury than other flourescent bulbs.
