Review on ๐Ÿ  Enhance Your Coral Reef Marine Fish Tank with VIPARSPECTRA Timer Control Dimmable LED Aquarium Light - Full Spectrum Power for LPS/SPS Growth by Pamela Mcgee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far, so good - fish and aquatic animals

It's only been a few days. Replaces an AquaLife 72" T5 unit that worked fine for about 12 years but eventually died. Pros: * Easy to mount from the ceiling * Looks well built * Light is "more shimmery" than T5s * Fairly easy to use operate * Blue channel is much deeper than T5s * My old 5T light cost about $180 to replace 8 bulbs every year and this LED is more energy efficient... only two fans This pair has 6 fans Not bad though my reservoir is in the same room as my high end music room.. took them from an old unit and installed them in my range hood on a timer.It would be nice to have a built in night light as a third channel..without setting it in the timer.Through Adjusting the brightness, both channels turn on at the adjusted brightness * One of my remotes broke I only needed one but was able to super glue the broken one to fix the broken one n plastic. I didn't ask the seller for a replacement, it was easy to fix. Generally satisfied so far. I set the dimmer to 15% for the first 3 days and then to 25% to allow the corals to get used to the LED light. I had no light for 4 days but nothing died. Many mushrooms have lost color, but it is already recovering. I will increase the dimmer every week.

Pros
  • GOLS-certified
Cons
  • Long delivery time
