Review on 🐠 Enhance Your Freshwater Aquarium with BeamsWork DA FSPEC LED Light for a Vibrant and Healthy Environment by Rachel Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing light, for the price you probably can't beat it!

I have nothing but good things to say about this light! First, the packaging was perfect. It was completely wrapped in bubble wrap. The clear plastic legs (which I think are high quality) don't need instructions. The lamp arrived in perfect condition and in perfect condition. It is recommended to check and reinstall all electrical connections to ensure correct operation out of the box. This applies to any electrical product that requires different connectors to connect. There is a good article on the Planted Tank forums about the PAR and PUR this light emits. Simply put, this light is impressive for the money! One of these puts out an average light of 18 inches and it's awesome! I've only had this lantern for a few days, with so much light it puts out if it stands the test of time this light is truly amazing value. Plants feel fast. I'm noticeably better! I use a 36 inch flare on a 40 gallon breeder. I do about 10g of water every Saturday and dose fertilizer on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Yesterday (Saturday 23rd September 2017) I did my first water change with this light and my plants started to bead! They NEVER did that! It was really amazing to see, very fascinating! I'm sure you could achieve medium or even just high lighting if you double this up for those of you who are into CO2 injection and growing plants with high demands. I have no interest in it, but medium light is desirable. I'm now dosing fertilizer, starting Excel mode, etc., but with no CO2, I keep something I have plants with my fish, not just any fish with my plants. Personally, I would buy this flashlight again (unless Beamswork comes up with an even better one). I will be making regular updates over time to try and document how well this light will hold up. Update: 36" model on In my experience, the 40 grower falls into the "high light" category. I started growing a plague of green spot algae and tried everything to get rid of them. More flow, more, more frequent water changes , a proper spike in phosphate levels etc and it all goes nowhere.Many on the forums have made it a point to use a dimmer with this light to stay "low tech" with great success that Eliminate algae growth and continue to grow healthy, beautiful plants.Another option is to introduce pressurized carbon dioxide and I've gone down that route.By adding carbon dioxide and increasing the amount of liquid fertilizer in the water column and tank heard new stock on the boards eating green dot algae (find a "high light" fixture for around $50-$60?!), but be aware of its potential I can't get too long on a really long fashion We'll talk to larger tanks, but if you have a 40 or 55/60 gallon tank, buy a dimmer, turn on the lights, or add CO2. You will not regret it!
