I have been a tropical fish hobbyist since the early 1980's. I keep strictly fresh water tanks and now I currently have a 265 gallon setup with african cichlids. Not having live plants and not needing any special lighting requirements for coral, etc.., I just wanted an led fixture to brighten up the tank. I already had two six foot flourescent fixtures with four bulbs in each fixture. I was able to see all the fish but the color of the fish especially the irredescence did not show up like I knew it could. So, rather than spend a ton of money, I thought I would try one of these fixtures and if it worked, then I could buy more. When I put this on top of the glass strip which runs along the top of the tank, I could not believe how much brighter the fish looked and how much nicer everything looked with this little 36 inch fixture. I am going to immediately order another to put alongside the one I have. this way i will cover six feet of the seven which is the width of the tank. The 265 gallon tank is over two feet deep so I need something to reach the bottom. It does this pretty well also. Even my wife who really does not bother with the fish said "WOW" I got a real nice piece of lighting equipment and am really happy with it. It has plastic brackets on the side which slide out but i have no use for them. It is ultra slim and low profile which is real nice. I have a canopy on my tank which covers the entire top including all the lighting fixtures and makes it look more like a piece of furniture. I would highly recomend this light to anyone thinking about getting one.Save 15% Off
