Finnex Planted Plus True 24/7 + HLC Aquarium LED Light, Automated Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light, True 660nm Deep Red Plant LEDs, 20 Inch, (HLC-20)

I cannot stress enough how much we love these light fixtures. Metal, sleek, discreet, bright, highly programmable, reliable, and durable are a few of the many adjectives I would use to describe these lights. We use these fixtures on all of our freshwater live planted tanks as well as order them for our clients when getting them set up with new equipment. Below I will highlight some key pros about these lights (note: there are no cons)Pros:The Lighting- These lights are bright at their highest setting, and plenty strong enough to reach the lowest parts of most tanks (no PAR values though, sorry!). With the customization built into the remote and 24/7 functionality, they can be set to an incredibly wide range of color wavelengths as well as intensities to suit your tanks needs. This makes it very easy to make adjustments to combat algae growth over time.The 24/7 Function and Remote:- Simple to set up, reliable lighting. With other lights, I have had issues with their timer settings using the small boxes integrated to the cord. In power outages, those ones will reset and not turn back on until you manually do so and will need to reset the timer. That is not the case here. Using the remote, you can set the lighting intensity and colors with the touch of a button for every 3 hours, which will then slowly transition to each set value throughout the day. When power goes out, the settings are saved and the lights will pick up where they left off. All you need to do is set the current time, since the light will think it is still the time of the power outage. Its simple and amazingly reliable.The Quality:- Made from high quality aluminum, these fixtures are durable, sleek looking, and lightweight. While they are not made to be hanged from the wall or ceiling, their lightweight nature and slim design make it easy to fashion up a simple mounting system without fear of it falling due to weight. These lights are made to last, and Finnex has been a fantastic brand for years. With so many other brands popping up (the ones with the odd "Amazon Names"), you need to know that these guys are the real deal. I have used their fixtures on all of my personal tanks for over 15 years now, and some of my original fixtures still work to this day, albeit slightly dimmer than they were out of the box. I know every time I buy one of these lights that it will work out of the box, is easy to set up and program, and will work for many years to come. Discovering Finnex when I did has led to incredible success keeping live plants.If that wasn't enough to sell you on this light fixture, then please see the below final thought:BUY THIS LIGHT RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

The media could not be loaded. Bought this light a couple weeks ago and it has been working like a charm! Love the customization that can be done and the set and forget peace of mind. Remote seems to be of good quality and the light is thin but sturdy and will look good on any tank! Best though if its on a covered tank according to the other reviews i have read prior to buying. If i should encounter any issues, i will update. So far though im happy to say ots the best light i have had, and would recommend to anyone looking for a way to make their tank stand out! Plants are showing good growth, and no algae present so far. But even algae can be fixed with settings and light intensity. Colors really stand out with this light, my fish look brighter, the castle i have in there looks like the details stand out more as well. With my previous light ( simple white led and blue option one) my tank disnt look as good. UPDATE 4-1-22 I did end up having a small issue with one side of my light because it did get some moisture on it from air bubbles popping at surface. Some of the led lights stopped working. I gave that light to my dad who is still using it and loves it. I bought the other model (not as thin) and covered tank so light has no moisture. This happened several years after purchase and I still say its the best one I have owned!

So far it’s awesome. It’s a great light that’s VERY thin and low profile. Love the 24-7 automatic set and forget setting that mimics natural time changes through the day. You can manually adjust it too, color intensities and time settings. Fish are loving it. Recommend.

I've had this for a year and a half now, so far so good. Bought this when setting up a tank for the first time in over ten years. Fish tank and lighting tech has come a long way since I last tried to have a planted tank. I didn't want to spend too much not knowing if my new tank would be successful. At first I probably had it on too bright and the programming can be a little intimidating, but I learned more about the spectrum and growing plants while trying to set up this light. I now use an external timer, mostly because of power outages in my area causing the schedule to be off. I have not been gentle on this light, it has taken a few falls, at least once into the tank (I promptly pulled the cord and let it dry a few days before turning it back on) and several times off the tank. If I have a complaint about this light it's the fiddly supports. I might try to hang it from the cieling. Most of the plants I've grown are pretty basic, anubias, cryptocoryne, dwarf sagittaria, ludwigia but I have a tiger lotus plant too. The spread of this light is not that wide, I see some people have doubled them up, but I think the narrower light works well for my fish so they can hide in the back when they want. Also, when I have the light towards the front my sponge filters in the back are less noticeable. I looked up my order to see when I bought this because I saw a fancy expensive light and was thinking of kicking it up a notch, and I was surprised by some of the reviews so I thought I'd share my experience.

Really beautiful light. It’s super thin and light, really bright and I love all the options and the sunset colors are amazing. Really great light for planted tanks.

I love this light. Just purchased my 2nd. Easy to program and grows plants like crazy!
