"I couldn't be happier."

I got my light today couldn't wait to put it on my blackwater tank. The following Monday they shipped a new power supply. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service. When I disassembled it- I found the light had no seal on either end cap. I bought the smaller one without realizing it. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. I like that it has a timer built into the control module too.

DaToo Final Thoughts

"Definitely submersible."

I have a very big 55 gallon corner tank that had a big hood on the top. Most lights make it still so dark you can't see. Has all the functions I need and want, and I am happy with this purchase. Overall, this LED light gives new fish tank owners the best bang for the buck. The person I sold them to had one start smoking and burnt out the white channel. We've got wide 13 gallon tank that is about 23 inches long. It has multiple settings, dimmer and a TIMER!

"Acting completely normal."

They did well enough during the time I had them. I actually thought the tank had constant algae blooms before I got this light. I thought they were fairly easy to set up. Wanted to return it but decided to keep it for my quarantine tank. Sealed very well and the shipping was next day. They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright.

"IT IS SUPER BRIGHT!"

It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. The corals look beautiful and the color spectrum is great. I'm very happy with the light performance. When I added this light my plants where not looking well at all. The purple hue bugged me that much I returned it. That said, I tried it out today and it's gorgeous! PAR readings were taken with an apogee par meter.

Galapara Final Thoughts

"10%-100%-10%."

The ramp timer also seems to help the fish and shrimp a lot, especially newer ones. Seems to be doing pretty well for my planted tank also! That said, I tried it out today and it's gorgeous! I like that it has a timer built into the control module too. The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect. The remote that comes with the light leaves a lot to be desired. It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for.

"It is worth every penny."

What happens when you mix a lot of blue with a little red. I am going to have to order more for my 55s after seeing what this one can do . The following Monday they shipped a new power supply. Has all the functions I need and want, and I am happy with this purchase. It's not too bright and not too dim. This is the second Nicrew light I have purchased for my aquariums. All of the LEDs appear to illuminate and the lights dim smoothly.

NICREW N12672 Final Thoughts

"Very nice light."

If necessary, I'll just buy one more and I'm sure I'll be fine. Even the torch, frogspawn and brain at the bottom of the tank is doing well. I am going to have to order more for my 55s after seeing what this one can do . Sadly I can't really use it yet because the glass canopy I ordered hasn’t arrived. So these lights obviously can produce SPS required PAR light levels. I have a very big 55 gallon corner tank that had a big hood on the top. I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning.

"I did not."

This light does a great job and grows plants in a rapid rate. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move. It's the best bang for your buck for a minimal reef light. Overall, this appears to be a good light for the price. I now own 2 of these lights and I love them. I am so in love with this lights and looking forward to start a new planted tank. I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me.

"Actual length of the 7."

The corals look beautiful and the color spectrum is great. My standard 10 gallon tank's hood finally crapped out on me. The adjustable brightness levels are awesome too. I really like that I can get a 24-hour effect with the timer. You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great. However, each brings a distinct look to the tank. I purchased three of these for my 240 gallon reef tank and they work incredibly well.

I am running 20 something aquariums and have multiple lights running in my fishroom. If necessary, I'll just buy one more and I'm sure I'll be fine. The purple hue bugged me that much I returned it. I'd use it for a frag tank or maybe even a coral QT. The person I sold them to had one start smoking and burnt out the white channel. I would highly recommend this light for anyone looking. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service.

"Very bright!"

The following Monday they shipped a new power supply. That sounded like a good plan to me so I agreed it was worth the risk. I initially planned to put this light on a 10 gallon with some javaferns and moss. They immediately sent out the package via UPS but UPS lost it. I changed my review and contacted Hygger. Even the torch, frogspawn and brain at the bottom of the tank is doing well. It's been about a month since the new LED light came in.

It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. Check out the photos on this 20 gallon grow out tank. ‍♂️Rgbw, Multiple settings, 3 stage timer. If you're considering using the LED stick-on lights to upgrade- don't bother. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move.
