"I'd recommend it."I purchased 2 of these lights for my 90 gal reef tank. When I disassembled it- I found the light had no seal on either end cap. Will purchase from them again in the future, highly recommended. It illuminates my 20g long fish tank entirely and perfectly. It's not too bright and not too dim. I have seen no flickering or pulsing of these lights as reported by other reviewers. I am running 20 something aquariums and have multiple lights running in my fishroom.

"What a pain!"Wanted to return it but decided to keep it for my quarantine tank. Few months ago I decided to try my hand at propagation coral. I think the blue lights are meant to be an evening light. It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. PAR readings were taken with an apogee par meter. Another note, there are more blue LED than red LED. I contacted Nicrew support over the weekend and received a reply within hours.

"It does not feel cheap."That said, I tried it out today and it's gorgeous! All my plants doubled in size in a month as shown in the pictures. For the price you will not find a better light on the market. The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect. I now own 2 of these lights and I love them. This tank is 15 years old with lps and sps corals. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer.

"I'll elaborate in a bit."You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great. No bad algae, Corals show great expansion, nice growth, and good coloration. I have the tank set up as a riverine system, but fairly well planted. All of the LEDs appear to illuminate and the lights dim smoothly. All of the LEDs appear to illuminate and the lights dim smoothly. Most lights make it still so dark you can't see. They are so much nicer than the florescent lights that came with my tanks.

"Thanks Julio!"I'd use it for a frag tank or maybe even a coral QT. I am so in love with this lights and looking forward to start a new planted tank.

I actually thought the tank had constant algae blooms before I got this light. The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect. It illuminates my 20g long fish tank entirely and perfectly.

"Switch has 3 settings."It's the best bang for your buck for a minimal reef light. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer. Overall, this LED light gives new fish tank owners the best bang for the buck. It's so bright, I was concerned that I would bleach the corals at the 1 setting. I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning. The last pic is the blue setting on the NICREW light. Suprized how well it lights up this tank.

"100% recommend!"But now was an opportunity to upgrade. My main display has been running with ecotech radions. You just position it over the glass strip where the old strip light used to sit. My main display has been running with ecotech radions. The timer mode utilized seems like the only timer mode I wouldn't really ever want. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. This light coming in at 6500 kelvin is perfect!

"But for a DISPLAY."Overall build quality is really good. I plan to upgrade all of my aquariums to this light. Another note, there are more blue LED than red LED. They are so much nicer than the florescent lights that came with my tanks. The built-in schedule will restrict you which is super annoying. This light is even better than I expected! When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer.
- MingDak Aquarium Light Timer, Led Aquarium Light Controller, Fish Tank Light Timer & Dimmer,LED Light Ramp Timer,24-Hour Digital Programmable
- APPLICABLE LIGHTS: Before order, make sure your light is a dimmable light with DC connector(5.5 x 2.1 mm or 5.5 x 2.5 mm). Our timer should work with light 0-30V output voltage. It would be nice, you choose MingDak's light.
- SIMULATE SUNRISE & SUNSET - The Ramp Timer is a fully programmable 24-hour LED lighting controller that not only turns your lights on and off, but it also simulates a gentle sunrise and sunset for your critters.
- PROGRAMMABLE - At the pre-programmed “on” time, the Ramp Timer slowly increases the lighting level to full brightness over a period of 15 minutes. When the programmed “off” time is reached, it gradually dims the light over 15 minutes before turning off.Can also be used as a dimmer, it can be adjusted from 1 – 100% brightness.
- BENEFITS- Help you keep the lights on and off the same time every day.Slowly acclimates animals to the high brightness that LEDs produce. This slow acclimation helps reduce stress often caused by sudden light intensity changes and provides a more natural rhythmic daily light cycle.
- SUMPLE USE - Simply program your desired on and off times and choose between two modes: on/off or on/off with a 15 minute ramp up and dim down. A manual button even allows you to turn your lights on or off instantly.

"The brackets work nicely."Its sold in different lengths and worked great for this light. It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. There IS a purple hue to this fixture. I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me. I am so in love with this lights and looking forward to start a new planted tank. It's not too bright and not too dim. Seems to be doing pretty well for my planted tank also!

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.
