My main aquarium light died, is this bright enough to replace it?
1910782
No. This is supplemental lighting for decorative purposes only. You should use a proper light.
1910783
No, this is an accent light thatvworks well to add color to your tank, but will not be bright enough to use in place of the hood light.
1910784
Yes. The lights are very bright and it is so neat how I can change the color and do different fx with a remote and the price makes it beyond worth it.
1910785
No, this is about 12 inches long and is primarily made to be underwater as a lighted bubbler. Depending on your aquarium, it may not be bright enough. Good luck.
1910786
It's definitely bright enough and the dimmer is a plus IF you can get the remote to work.
1910787
Depends on the size of the tank, and how it's positioned. I'd say it would be a poor aquarium light though. It's more cosmetic lighting than anything.
1910788
Yes. These LEDs are very bright but probably best suited to sit at the bottom of the tank. There are several suction cups that keep it in place. Depending on how you like the lighting in your tank, you may still want a light that can shine downward into the tank.

The light is adjustable for all colors. White is pretty bright. I would say yes it could be used as a replacement light. Our tank is 10 gallon. The light shines from back if the tank to the front, not from the top though
1910790
Yes, this LED light strip is very bright. Added bonus are the various color options this product provides.
1910791
this is a bubble bar, so it is made to be placed at bottom of aquarium. You can find led lights prob cheaper that you could mount above tank.

It depends how deep your tank is, the light itself is bright and very directional the tank and the light must be the same size. To be honest I was a bit disappointed when I got mine, the blue LEDs are not strong enough in my opinion.

I assume so, since that is the cube that comes with the 5 gal. tank. Beware though, the lights don't last very long. On mine the lights burned out quickly. The center bulb after only about 6 mos., and the rest shortly after the warranty expired. Guess that's par for the course nowadays. They could make the lights replaceable, but instead one has to purchase a whole new cube for $50, which is about 40% of a new one. It's a nice tank, but unless and until they have replacement lights, I would not recommend buying one again.

If you have a nano fish-only then this would work fine, but nowhere near enough light output for corals. (maybe some softies?) I am using one, but as a light over my sump/refugium on my saltwater tank.

Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they? I found a company that sells the replacement but I needed expert help to identify the exact component. He decided not to help once he figured out I'm not really using it to grow coral in salt water aquarium. If I were to buy LED again I'd spend more money upfront on a more reliable unit. Try googling any identifier on the panel, that might take you to a page of specs. If you can read them google the specs on the transformer and look for a retailer. Good luck. I just went back to HPS because we are flowering and we couldn't keep dicking around. Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they?

Shouldn't be an issue at all. My Oceanic tank is deeper and I found this light to be brighter than the original fluorescent light bar. Plus with this light, you get two settings... Bright white, and a lower setting as well.

I'm gonna have to say no, I put this exact light on 1/2 of a 29g and it wasn't very bright at all. The only chance you have at coral with this would be some soft corals but I wouldn't bet on it. Also keep in mind this fixture is made for rimless tanks only. I had to cut the trim around the top of my tank to get this light to fit.

The lighting will most definitely provide enough light. You may want to look at the bigger models to fit a 90 gallon though. This one fits up to 20gal long aquariums

Cant answer that sorry. Had mine for awhile and never had too replace anything yet. So something happen too your light?.

I don't think this light would be bright enough for a salt water tank. I have mine on a 75 gal. fresh water tank and I like it. Salt water tank I don't think so.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

Hi, Penny,I'm just using the bulb that came with the lamp...don't even know the wattage. It's an incandescent bulb that's usually used in aquariums. I'm "old school," and prefer incandescents to the new bulbs. Take care.Tony

It's a really good light as long as your aquarium is not more than say 8 inch bigger longer than the light, does a good job, blue only is not very bright, I just use white @ blue together, I have a 72 inch on my 180 works good, go for it.

I also used it as a aquarium light ballast replacement, I'm not certain, but I think that's the model number I replaced, so far so good!

Contact instructions for customer service were included with our kit; I sent an email to customer service and got a phone call back. They sent me a replacement light. We use a different light fixture with this tank though...

Ahhh... I'm not sure since my aquarium is quite small (20 gallons), that's why it's worked well for me. I imagine for that size of aquarium you would require a lot of these LED light in order to fulfill your light needs for that size tank. But that also depends on the dimensions of your tank. If it's not that deep (24 inches in height or less), then these lights will do well. But I suggest you research other LED lights before buying this, and you get others opinions. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what you mean by replace a bulb. But the double bright led will certainly highlight the glo fish. I have some purple and blues and they do not show up so well. But the red and greens really snap and pop out at you. They only sell green tetras. they are much bigger than the other type of glo fish. I wish that they sold red tetras as well. The big green tetras look really trippy swimming around and glowing in the blue light at night In a dark room. Hope this helps.
