Aquatic Life Light T5 HO 2-Lamp Link Fresh Aquarium Light, 24-Inch


Great beginner light
I bought this light for my first ever planted aquarium (15 gallons). It works great, my plants are growing at a pretty face pace, I have to trim plants every other week.
Excellent Product!
This fixture is high quality and affordable. The fixture is well made and the legs are fully adjustable, which means I can fit it on my rectangular, cube and hex tanks without a ton of fiddling. It comes with bulbs and is ready to install on your tank in a matter of a few minutes.

A few months after purchasing this - I'm still very pleased with the fixture and plants are growing well. The color spectrum makes the colors in the tank pop.

My only issue with it is that the clear cover that protects the bulbs is made of thin plastic and I'm not confident in how long it'll last. I'd have preferred it if Aquatic Life would have used glass instead.
Nice light
The light is way better than any stock light for aquarium. This is on a 28 gallon bowfront with lots of plants and fish. The fixture is built well and the glass lexan cover over the bulbs is easy to clean and seems scratch resistant. I did change one bulb (the dim rose one) to a zoo-med ultrasun and it was even brighter. The plants seem to go crazy with this. It does seem a little hot to run, no fan. The price is very good on amazon, much better than anywhere else in town or online.
