Review on Finnex Planted Aquarium Automated Spectrum Fish & Aquatic Pets for Aquarium Lights by Roger Gibbs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great light, for large aquariums you may need more than one

Really like this light. It's not perfect, but it's the best LED system I've seen, hence 5* for the product. The programmability isn't exactly flexible, but it's nice. High power red lights are useful for growing certain crops. I am planning to replace all my old Tek fluorescent tubes with these units. I just bought my third light for a 24 inch tank with 120 gallon CO2 fitment. I started with one light on this tank and then quickly realized I needed more. I worked with two for about a month and then just added a third. The tank looks great, the plant growth is very good. However, when I ordered a third light, one of the leg assemblies was missing. Revain promptly sent me a replacement and I sent back the item originally supplied. The replacement arrived a few days later in what appeared to be an opened and resealed box. The contents weren't packaged properly (I knew that because I'd already unpacked three others.), but nothing was damaged. The replacement had both foot assemblies but one package was opened and the nut was missing. Also, there was no remote control. Since I could get a spare nut at my local hardware store and didn't need a remote (one remote works with all three units - a nice feature), I decided to keep it. I will buy more of these headlights in the future but I will probably buy them elsewhere. Whoever is packing/shipping them is not doing a good job and I think I may have received a previously returned item (no longer "new") as a replacement. 2* for service/delivery.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • No
