The lid has to be set in-place on the top then there is a switch, attached to top front of the lid/cover, which adjusts/slides left or right, to a setting for white light (daytime) or blue light (night viewing).

Play around with how much you attach hood. If you push it all the way down or have it to far up the lights won't engage. Make sure the black light bar is above water not in water. Look inside you will see how the connection is made.

The lid has to be set on top then the lights come on. Check the switch too there's a setting for white light/ off/ blue light

When you first purchase this item, it's possible the lights may not work due to remaining packing material within the hood. Remove the hood portion from your aquarium and flip it over. On the underside you may see a small, square piece of cardboard (or packing material) wedged on either side of the hood or closer towards the middle near where the switch is - this prevents the switch from making a full contact and thus some or none of the lights may work. If you remove the cardboard from the underside of the hood and place it back on the aquarium, the lights should be functional. If the lights still do not come on, you may have a faulty hood piece/lighting.

The lights are on an oval handle type thing at the top. You need to make sure and push it down all the way.

Make sure the hood is on correctly. If its not on correctly at all, it won't work.

I finally found the spot where it floats. There is a red LED on the back of the top that is on all the time and a white one that is off all the time. What are the LED's for?

I've never seen the fish act weird because of the light. But you should only get this light is you have live plants. If you don't do real plants I'd go with a current USA led light.

They have a replacement light on Amazon...Marineland LED Aquarium Light. I have had to purchase two already. I find that if you keep it from getting wet, ie: put clear cellophane between it and the top of the aquarium then it does last. The second one I purchased is doing fine since it has not been getting wet.

Get two. I love mine. No problems with the lights or the company. My corals and fish are doing amazing. Was definately worth the money.

LED lights have no listed wattage. Mine is a 20 inches with two sets of LEDS for a 35 gal aquarium-no live plants.

I tried too, apparently you must find a replacement independently, I even talked on the phone to an Aquaeon rep. I purchsed an LED clip on gooseneck here on Amazon under Aquarium LED Lighting

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

I just received the lamp, I have plugged it for 15 min but it doesn't work, I could see those orange colored LEDs for the dimmer and I could change them dragging right-left, however, the LED lamp itself doesn't work

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

Hi!! The idea its to p ut inside and below of the tank in order the bubles take the color of the LEDs, and look truly beautiful background for your fisk tank,Another thing to put inside of your tank fisk this accesory, its to have a better aireation your tank, good look!

I have fish and soft corals. My config is 1 white and 4 blue. This was also the recommendation of my local aquarium store.

Well i know exo terra has lights that go with this unit. Search for the size of your tank for the correct light hood. You can also purchase this tank with the light as a package. I did not purchase a light because I am using this tank for hermit crabs. If you are having trouble finding the light, let me know and i will do a search.

I have no clue and gave up trying after a day. Try looking on youtube. I also found that the fish really, really don't like rapid changes in lighting or colors. Slow fades are ok if that's your thing, but rapid changes gave some of my fish what looked like seizures, so I'd suggest picking a color for mood lighting and leave it there. Change the color as you like, but don't have it cycling rapidly between colors. I feel the health of the animal is more important than my amusement.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.
