Perfect fit for my small 2.5 gallon nano aquarium

I have many aquariums. That means they all need light. My favorite flashlights are no longer made so I look for others to replace when they break. This tank required a small 2.5 gallon nanotank. HOW IT WAS MADE This lantern was well packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. If I had some space there, this would fit PERFECTLY on the tank with the L bracket. The light illuminates the entire tank just right. CONTROLS The controls are somewhat simple. Although they are very versatile. TIMER You need to push the timer through the cycle. The indicator will flash for the set time to let you know it's active. If you have a power outage you will have to wait until the next day to reset it at the right time as it is a sequential timer. It's annoying but not too difficult. It just takes patience. BRIGHTNESS Brightness goes through a cycle and you have to go through it to get what you want - you can't just pick a setting. It can be dark or light. It is ideal for a nano aquarium. MODES The most comfortable mode for plants. I had an issue with the previous light causing excessive algae growth so I cleaned everything I could when I turned on this new light. I noticed in the plant settings that the plants I was trying to grow seemed to be active again. CONCLUSION This is the perfect light for my 2.5 gallon tank. It fits well, has adjustable brightness and different modes. So far I like it very much. MY RATING FIVE STARS. That's exactly what I wanted for my little pool. I have automatic lights with many settings, rhythmic flow, and changing lighting throughout the day, but this is overkill for my small aquariums. that works great. The only problem is that if there is a power outage, you have to reset the timer at the same time the next day you want it to turn on.
