I have this tank and i'm baffled why the led light changes colors constantly.I threw away instructions. Is this the way it suppose to be?

Ours just came with a regular 7 watt bulb, similar to a night light, not an LED light bulb. We had to replace it once already, but my daughter leaves the light on a lot, but it never changed colors. Maybe try another bulb.

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...

I had the same problem. I noticed a small drip stain on the LED cover. Cleaned it with a little Windex on a rag. Now works perfectly.

Not that I know of, but if you look at the comments in many of the other postings, someone from Kohlerkraft of whatever company does the customer service will offer to send you a new strip of LEDs with instructions on how to install it. I got the strip but didn't bother to install as it would fail again in a few months. I would suggest you buy a different tank. I got the glo fish tank.

So far I've had no issues with mine. They've been in my tank since September and I run them every night for 2 hours and so far so good, no lights have dropped yet. Sorry I can't help anymore than that

Yeah it is still working great, I am pretty satisfied with it. It lights up my 40 gallon aquarium great by itself. The mode button changes to some night modes with blue LEDs, also there is a couple storm modes that make the tank look like a lightning storm, kinda cool but I don't really use it. I usually just click the mode button before I go to bed and it puts it in a faint blue setting. Overall its a great fixture.

Hi, These are very poor quality LED strip, I just bought there to replaced it. "DC 12V 5M 16.4 ft 300 LED Non Waterproof 5050 SMD Flexible LED Light Lamp Strip 60led/meter (5050, Day White)" !! These are much brighter and the color are daylight where the one you asked are too warm! Also their uniformity are much better, have 3M double sided tape so you can stick it to your tank!!!!

After using mine for about a month I also noticed the same thing and had this same question. It was like that right out of the box. After researching the manufacturers website about this product it became clear that the red light means a burnt out UV bulb. The bulb cost as much as the whole filter and was not available so I trashed the whole filter. This is clearly not a quality product. Check www.aa-aquarium.com and see what you can find out.

The best advice I can give you is to buy a different tank. I have come to hate this tank and have bought a different one.

I wouldn't worry about it. My LED has been red since day one. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it. Enjoy!

You shouldn't, try flipping (toggle) the light switch on and off multiple times. Typically, each time you toggle the switch, it should change to a different pattern/color.

I have the same tank, with CO2 I run it for 4 on, 1 off, 4 on, and I keep the blue turned off. It is also off center so I cast a shadow past my drift wood for a med-low light area. With these lights I have to dose with fert like twice a week to keep up. Hope you've got lots of plants. With this light I have micro swords and dwarf baby tears growing, and some s. repens is thriving. For some reason though I can not get any species of java fern to grow it just sort of hangs on.

I don't know---my unit when taken apart is a simple DC power supply connected to +/_ terminals not very complicated. LED shows conductivity of liquid so try across electrodes and see if led stays same brightness. It would be an experiment but may work.

I actually did replace one of mine with an LED just to test it out and almost no light comes out of it. The LED lights just don't seem to put out enough light. :( I would love to find some LEDs that do though considering I am running like 15 of these all night long.

I have the light over a 2 gallon betta tank, it has a sword type plant that has done very well. Almost filling the tank, I do use a liquid carbon supplement one a week that has helped greatly. As I posted in my review the light was great for about 2 months but now almost all of the white LED's have burnt out. The blue LED's are fine, I just have a hard time recommending it. Hope this helps.

I found that if you have the dust and dawn mode in the e setting (a bright white sunlight with a rolling cloud cover though various color spectrums) that the light would flash bright when it went to the next color. The fish didn't like it. It seemed as if the light was trying to give the colors it wanted but the timer was cutting the power to the light causing it to flash bright colors when it went I the next color. I've found the dust and dawn mode to work best on one color setting. I leave mine on full spectum. The fish seem to like it and the dust and dawn mode lets them know it's time to wake up and time to settle down. It also reduces the stress on the fish from the light cutting on in one flash motion.
