Thanks, I have one a tad more basic and it is a fantastic light and with good features, I really like the cord control vs another remote floating around the house. Thanks man!!
Patty, I have tried a Hygger but programming is on my model, a pain, unplug by accident and I have to programme again. And you can't have a Walstad two period photo cycle in a 24 hour day, my preference to stabilise pH. I certainly don't need low intensity, I certainly don't need to play around with the spectrum and I don't want moonlight and I certainly don't want 'disco' settings. I have found the light low in intensity and not adequate for carpeting plants, despite an online review finding the PAR very competitive with Fluval lights. It also gets hotter than I expected. The mixed LEDs BGR and white do seem to help with fish colours. But on my tank, 18 inches back to front, I need to run at least two other LED bars to make the tank bright enough to grow a good range of light hungry plants. I have tried Nicrew in the past, fine for crypts but not bright enough for a wide range of more light demanding plants. These lights are not that expensive but in terms of lumens per watt there are lots of lights designed for outdoor areas, warehouses, shops, hydroponics etc., which will give a lot more 'bang for your buck'. Will be interested to find out what you think in a few months.
Awesome thank you for your input! While like the 24/7 programs I currently am not using it. I have it set at 100% intensity and hooked up to my timer with all my lights in my fish room. Im trying to use it the exact same hours as my shop lights to get a better comparison between the lights. I definitely like the non yellow tint from this light and the colors of the fish better but I obviously need to see how the plants react to it. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Very neat! I would love to see the update of the light! It made a huge difference in the viewing of the tank, it’s making me wonder if I should get better lighting!
I absolutely love the color difference between the bright white of this light to the yellow tint of my shop lights. I will be using it for a couple months to see how it fairs with my plants. So stay tuned for a full review video then 😁👍
Full view buddy including commercials 😉 I actually don't have that model as it's not available in Canada. I would love to borrow a light meter when I test/ review the light. I have always liked how long the cords are with this company. Excellent review and demonstration my friend. Very honest I will be interested in your follow up vid on this.
Thanks Chris, so far I definitely like the light but just need to see how it works with my plants. So in a couple months I definitely will have a full review on it. Thanks for watching and plan on watching your video I seen you dropped today after I get home from work 😁👍
Thanks Mal, I definitely like the look of the lighting better. Just need to see how my plants react to it. That’s the most important part. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I have an older hygger planted 27/7 light, my main complaint with it is that you can't adjust the LEDs in full spec mode separately and I find the blue is way too strong. This one with the diy capability so you can adjust that looks like a great improvement! I do think I like the older metal legs a little better, but that's not as important. Nice review, Patty! 🙂👍
Thanks Tara, so far I’m liking the quality of the light and definitely the look of everything in the tank with it. Once I use it a while and see how my plants react and algae react I can get a complete opinion on it but so far I love it. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I’m definitely liking the look of the tank and fish with this light over my shop lights. Time will tell if the plants thrive with it and the algae subsides. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I loooove the Hygger lights. They are higher quality then Nicrew and other no name brands and cheaper than Chihiros or some super expensive JBL Solar Stinger stuff. They have evolved over time and keep perfecting the light. The older ones werent as good tho but the one with the 24 hour cycle which you can adjust yourself and those who have alot of red and blue leds are the best ones! One bad thing tho, the power supply for these gets hot as hell if run at 100% so I always would recommend going to 80% instead. Been using Hygger lights for... 3 years now
Ok awesome, thank you for your input. It’s greatly appreciated. So far I’m a fan of them just need to see how well the plants react to the light. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Yeah I don’t like spending a fortune on equipment. Especially with multiple tanks . I like this light so far and is very affordable . Just have to wait and see if the plants will like it as well 😁👍
@pattys_aquatics yeah just gotta watch the algae issue that comes with stronger lights, experiment with the adjustments, u can have all the plants in the world but those lights will bring the algae if left on too long ! I have several different programmable lights and 9 out 10 times can't even use 50% of their capacity
I just got this light last week, that being said that is exactly what I have mine at. I run my lights in my fish room for 10 hours already and like the 100% intensity. So far I’m impressed with this light😁 Thanks for watching 😁👍
You absolutely can remove the clips. They are meant to sit on the edges of the tank but it doesn’t work if you use a cover like I do. I actually took mine off a few weeks ago and works fine.
@@dareqmaynard1551 yeah I really like crypts especially with dirted substrates. They are typically slower growers and self propagating. I have a few in another tanks that’s sent out runners with new plants😁
Thanks, I have one a tad more basic and it is a fantastic light and with good features, I really like the cord control vs another remote floating around the house. Thanks man!!
@@marklillrose5068 anytime, I really do like this light and had been good for my plants this far as well. Thanks for watching and sharing 😁👍
Good review. I'm also looking into the Hygger, they have really good reviews. Saving money for my next 47 gallons and a light from this brand :D
Thank you and yes Hygger had a good selection of lights. Thanks for watching 😁👍

I like how bright it is and the colors are very cool.
I do like the brightness compared to the yellow tint of my current lights😁👍
I’m so happy to see this offering! Also looking forward to what you report forthcoming. Thanks
Thank you, I’m liking the light thus far, just need to see that the plants will continue thriving with it. Thank you for watching 😁👍

Welcome and Thank you for the support!
There will be only honesty from me. Thanks for watching 😁👍

@@pattys_aquatics again excellent job my friend
@@stubbsaquatics6080 Thanks Chris I appreciate it!😁🙏
It certainly made a more natural light in the tank Patty
Great review 👍👍

Great light fixture! Can’t wait to see what it does for your tank, and if it helps with your tanks’s algae. Will definitely check their site.
I’m definitely liking the look of the tank and fish with this light over my shop lights. Time will tell if the plants thrive with it and the algae subsides.

Hope it works out I'm like you built most of my lights and the store bought ones are very old and have been modified
Yeah I don’t like spending a fortune on equipment. Especially with multiple tanks . I like this light so far and is very affordable . Just have to wait and see if the plants will like it as well 😁👍
Very nice , I definitely like the hygger light better, I dislike yellow tint , awesomeness on the free light my friend ! Great video
Thanks Jesse, definitely like the look of the tank better with the Hygger light. Just need to see if the plants will like it better 😁
@pattys_aquatics yeah just gotta watch the algae issue that comes with stronger lights, experiment with the adjustments, u can have all the plants in the world but those lights will bring the algae if left on too long ! I have several different programmable lights and 9 out 10 times can't even use 50% of their capacity
I just checked them out on Amazon, their lights are very affordable!
Yes they are😁👍
Getting two. What setting would you go with for new planted/dirt/sand tank? Was thinking 100% power 10hrs
I just got this light last week, that being said that is exactly what I have mine at. I run my lights in my fish room for 10 hours already and like the 100% intensity.
So far I’m impressed with this light😁
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Can you take the clip on stand of this light because my tank is to wide and I would like to sit it on the braces of the tank
You absolutely can remove the clips. They are meant to sit on the edges of the tank but it doesn’t work if you use a cover like I do. I actually took mine off a few weeks ago and works fine.
Thanks for the reply
@@Jay19200 anytime 😁👍
Any updates?
I moved it to another tank that I thought might suit it better but plan on doing a follow up video on it in the near future. Thanks for asking 😁👍
What are those plants in the tank?
Val, anubias barteri , a species of crypt (can’t remember which anymore) and then have some floaters as well. 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics thank you.
The crypt was wonderful looking, almost like a peace liilie underwater
@@dareqmaynard1551 yeah I really like crypts especially with dirted substrates. They are typically slower growers and self propagating. I have a few in another tanks that’s sent out runners with new plants😁
