  20 gallon model too dim for 5 gallon tank.

  The media could not be loaded.  Light power is very very weak, even in my 5 gallon tank this 20 gallon light somehow seems to make it darker rather than brighter. Compared to the stock lid light this seems like a “night time” only light even on its brightest setting.The description says this light is 15” long, but it’s really only 10”. Even if it were 15”, I’m not sure it would be bright enough.Bad batch of LEDs maybe?The controller is ok, but even that wasn’t very well thought out. It cycles from black to “bright”, which startled the fish, instead of stepping back through the intermediate modes on its way to “daylight”

  horrible

  I got this for my 10 gals. Glo fish tank. 1st of all the way it is designed you can not close the hood all the way and second-it does not light properly. it is supposed to have 6 different modes-4 of the six you can not tell the difference very very dim, the brightest mode does not even light half of the tank. the light only projects 5-6 inches from the fixture straight ahead and maybe 1-2 inches to the side. Remember this light was for a 20 gal. tank and only lights dimly a 10 gal. may work for a 5 gal. but still will be dim. I have a glo-fish tank made for glow fish that came with hood lights which were pretty good bit they burned out in only 2 years-should of lasted much much longer.

  Good light but really expensive for the coverage it provides.

  It's a good light for anyone with a beginner Glofish tank and the light cycle modes are fun however, it does not really cycle. It has 4 settings; there's a full (daylight) setting, an only Blue light setting, an only purple/UVA light setting and a Cycled blue and purple light setting. I wish it would have had more combinations like purple and blue lights together or white lights only. Also, as per the description, the coverage it provides is not that bright or great. I have a 20 gallon long tank and it would only cover the front middle part of the tank. The 2 sides were always dark. Have since upgraded to a full spectrum LED light bar.

  False advertising - NOT sufficient for a 20 gallon tank!

  Don't believe the labeling and packaging, there's no way this light would ever be considered sufficient for a 20 gallon tank. The various lighting modes themselves are very nifty and have cool effects on the tank, but the light bar itself is only 10 inches long. That's not even half of the length of most 20 gallon tanks, and the ones it IS half are extra deep -- too deep for this light to illuminate very well. Compounding the issue is that this is an LED light, which means it doesn't radiate much outward away from the LED bar. It's entirely a spotlight effect. You'll definitely need some other supplementary light source, which means the special effects this light produces are less noticeable at best, or counteracted at worst.If your tank is no larger than a 10 gallon hexagonal tank (not standard 10 gallons, even those are 20 inches long), you should be okay. But don't buy this for a tank any longer than 14 inches or you'll be disappointed.

  Actually nice enough to not be ONLY for glowfish tanks

  This was a surprise buy for us. Our original light that came with the kit we got for the glowfish quit working so we got this to replace the light and it works really well and has multiple modes. The real shocker was that the lights tend to highlight the gravel in our tank more so than the original lights. So this light could be used to highlight the gravel in any tank which we were happy with. We didn't really have any issues installing it but it still feels like cheap plastic hence my not giving it a full 5 stars.
