Review on Enhance your Aquarium with the Finnex Planted+ 24/7 ALC LED Light - Automatic Sunrise and Sunset, 660nm Deep Red LEDs by Sidewinders Murphy

The ALC version is the best of any series Finnex has landed at face value. You can't get a better programmable light for the price. But these are limitations, not to say I wanted the 12:00 to 15:00 time off, that's doable, but the 3:00 to 6:00 slot doesn't work because for some reason at 5 :00 The light will turn on no matter what you set, PERIOD. Now back to the norm, at best in my 18" tank it's barely able to keep my dwarf plants alive. Well if your tank is shorter that might do the trick. I'll definitely need to upgrade. My plants, that have reached the average level in the aquarium are showing signs of growth even with some red leaves Proving my point that although it is a bright light the rating just doesn't live up to its level at lower levels is bright enough to wash out the reds and greens. You can adjust the level, but I suspect you'll depreciate in the process. Final thoughts Finnex needs to step up their game, it's time to think about the Planted Plus Pro version, that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Drop the time slots and add a real time clock Think about powering it down to 50-75 or even 100 watts instead of a measly 36 watts to increase. Double the number of LEDs. Throw away the old school Bluetooth app remote, it's 2022, not 1995. Technology is your time to embrace it. Also make it waterproof. Do you sell Finnex?
