Fluval Plant 3.0 LED Planted Aquarium Lighting, 32 Watts, 24-34 Inches

Muy buena calidad

Great minimalist design aquarium light

Nice light and gets the job done, but only four stars because there are a few improvements that could be made without affecting the price too much. 1. The light loses its clock setting when the power goes off. They could add a $0.50 battery to fix this, like a computers motherboard. 2. Being able to export the settings to a csv xt file, edit and upload would be a nice function and would allow us to swap settings with others. Using the slider to select an exact time is tedious and typing the times into a file would be easier. The exported file could also work as a back up. 3. The less expensive Fluval Aquasky has the weather effects. I expected the same on this model but it wasnt there.

Excellent light. Software works just fine... BUT If you mount this on an aquarium as-is, it will be laying FLAT against the top of your aquarium. There are *no* risers included, nor does Fluval sell any risers. The only other option is an additional hanging kit (not included of course) and even then if your ceiling is higher than a few feet--you know, like normal houses--youll have to buy even more wiring on top of that. Fluvals answer? Visit your local hardware store You can see the smaller Nano fluval light comes with a mount and how low the 3.0 sits. Simply ridiculous.

Very good equipment. Learning to use on planted tank. I will have to see how it goes.

These are great lights but I absolutely hate the fact that Fluval tells retailers to ship these lights in the original boxes. Come on Fluval! Get it together! At least include styrofoam in the box if you’re instructing retailers to ship in original box, without protection. Great light but I’ll never feel confident that the 3 lights I’ve ordered weren’t damaged during shipping. The retailer did an excellent job shipping this light lightning fast a week before Christmas.

Happy with these lights overall. I bought four of the 32 watt lights for my 90 gallon / 340 liter tank (48”x18”x24”). It’s a deep tank with a cross bar, so I opted for four shorter lights vs. longer. First picture shows how I’ve configured them on the tank. My biggest issue is with the app. I love being able to control all my lights via one app. The only issue is that the the slider bar that is used to set the light schedule times in “Pro”mode is awful. I carefully slide until I get to the desired time like 09:00, then when I lift my finger it shifts to 09:02 or 08:58. It’s minor, but when setting 4 separate lights, I prefer to have them all change at the same time. I finally found a workaround by taking a screenshot of the factory light settings, then deleting and recreating the time markers. When you create a new time marker, the time can be set using a different selector tool that’s much easier to use. The good news is that once you get one light set, you can use “Save As” then export it to your other lights, so now I have all four lights on identical schedules. The “Auto” mode is much easier to configure, but only allows four times to be set while “Pro” offers 10. I like the “Pro” because it allows me to set a “low intensity” period in the middle of the day where the lights are dimmed for a while. One other thing that isn’t really an issue (just surprised me) was the size of the power supplies (see last two pictures). Based on the label, it looks like these can get pretty hot. So far, even after a full day of operation mine are just warm not actually hot, but it’s something I’ll keep an eye on.

Super bright if you want it to be. The smart phone software makes this highly customizable. If you crank this up your plants will grow at an alarming rate! LOL Be careful not to crank it up to 100% right off the bat as you may find yourself with plants and algae growing out of control.

I had never thought about an artificial solar cycle until coming across this light. It allows the fish to experience sunrise and sunset conditions. The one major ding is the app. I personally am tired of the over reliance on our phones for everything, including setting up a tank for our aquatic friends. Would it have been too difficult to include a remote that offers a handful of programmed more common lighting themes for the price?

The fixture is low profile, sleek, and just looks great! It’s very bright and lights up my planted 15g very well. The app is pretty cool. Has some great features and let’s you control pretty much everything you could need to. It’s a little pricey tho IMO...
