Review on πŸ”† Brilliant Fluval Eco Nano LED Lamp: Illuminate Your Space with Perfect Precision by Laura Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A noticeable improvement in a short time :)

I am new to fish farming and I have many problems. I had yellowed plants and slow growth. I did some more research and got some liquid fertilizer but it wasn't enough to help the plants. I went to my LFS and was told I needed better lighting so I bought one (brand undisclosed) which appeared to be TOO POWERFUL (box says 5-10 gallon tanks). In the old light, my pets grumbled constantly, took refuge in the designated houses to stay away from the bright white light, and would not come out to explore, only while feeding. Although the plants were happy, my pets weren't and neither was I. Then I bought this light, the Fluval Nano, and I can tell you we're all happy now! Now I've read the reviews for this lamp. Before you buy, read that you can remove the screw if you overtighten it. I didn't encounter this problem because once I felt the attachment tighten I just screwed it in slower and it was done. The screw is not metal like the base, so be careful when installing. In no time, my plants became greener and started putting out new leaves. My pets come out of hiding and are MUCH more active, and I'm so happy that THIS lighting choice doesn't get in the way of my eyes. I have the bulbs next to the table and above where I'm sitting (I'm posting the photo for reference so you can see what I mean) so I can get full light from the previous fixture so that was uncomfortable but this one is PERFECT . The light source is completely hidden in the curved body and does not lie flat on the screen. The Fluval light is beautiful, very well made and fits my 3.5 and 5 gallon aquariums perfectly. However, I would not recommend it for 10 gallon aquariums as it is good enough for smaller planted tanks. If this one ever fails I will definitely buy another one. It's perfect for us!
