TaoTronics TT-AL02 Black Aquarium Coral Reef Tank LED Grow Light (120W Output, Blue/White Ratio- 30

This light exceeded my expectations, this is the second one I order it arrived almost a week early from the basic shipping speed I chose. The lights bring out fabulous colors of my corals and fish. The live rock in my tank look more beautiful than you have ever seen.

My initial experience with this light has been good. I find the colors aesthetically pleasing enough, especially for the price. To give you an idea of the colored things in my tank: I have two black-and-white clowns, a lawnmower Blenny, plus pink and purple and red coralline algae, but no corals yet. The white sand and the white stripes on the clowns pop under this light, and the Blenny looks sparkly. One of the clowns still has orange on her face, and it's a lot brighter than it was under the old light (a 30W 18,000K T8) My coralline's colors look richer, especially the red.

I put a couple of layers of black window screen between the light and the tank so I won't alarm my fish too much in the first couple of days. It's really, really bright without the screen.

The fans are a little noisier than I expected, even after reading others' reviews (of the TT-AL01 model, which is the same thing but with a white case).

I like that the blue and white lights have separate cords so you can plug them into separate timers. Note that the plugs have three prongs, so the timers will need to have three holes where you plug the lights into them.

If you can live without a dimmable, programmable LED fixture, this one seems like a good, basic light.
