Ran this light over my chaeto fuge for more than 6 months. It grew the chaeto extremely well and could sit close to the water without issue. It was putting out 500-600 PAR for me which is more than enough. It would make a great FW planted light

After 2 weeks, a section of the light unable to turn off while the rest of the light fully off. The led light very nice build, but the quality is bad.

The light performs great. I am using this over a 40 gallon planted tank with assorted rainbowfish. I adjusted the settings to maximize color of the plants and fish and it was easy to get to the look I wanted. Birmani, Turquoise and Yellow Rainbowfish insanely color pop under this light. The Mobius app worked fine to complete these tweaks. The only thing that I would recommend is that a moonlight mode be added. I like the blue affect for about a half hour before lights out.

I purchased a small one of these after seeing the review at Kaveman Aquatics just so I could see for myself whether a new light would make a difference for my tanks. The answer is yes! Lighting is leaps and bounds ahead of what was available just a few years. 1. The out of the box mounting rests nice on the tank. 2. The color (for freshwater) is pleasant with an adjustable brightness. I'm using with water that has tannins and the bright light really makes the colors pop! 3. Easy to install the app and I just selected the default schedule. You can get more precise for your needs. Yes these are pricey, but I recommend them.

This is a great light, it does take some finagling to get things looking right, but such is the story for lighting. It's almost right for the price point; and I do like it better than the Fluval Planted that I have. Unfortunately, at the price point of this vs a Prime unit - it's a bit hard to decide if you're flexible on your aesthetics and mounting options. I'm docking a point because of the price when comparing to a prime 16.
