Fluval SEA Marine Nano LED Aquarium Lighting with Bluetooth, 20 Watts,Glass

I already had the Fluval Sea/Marine 3.0, while it was a great starting light for a 40B Reef Tank, I needed to add more light to help grow SPS corals....so I bought a really good Chinese Black Box Light...really loved the performance and value of it...but... It has the world's most complex timer features...I even contacted company directly, and while they were great, I was still stumped. The great thing about the Fluval 3.0 Marine Light is the app...it's simply easy to use and adjust from sunrise to sunset and night time...and so is this Nano Light...you just plug it in and press the + button on the app...and Bam...it finds the new light and synced up right away...you can then adjust all your colors and times and leave it alone. The other Chinese Black Box light, not so much...every morning turn it on, press the W button 3 times, press the B button 6 times, at night turn the W button off, dim the B button by pressing 3 times, then eventually turn off. We have people who house sit for us when out of town, and I couldn't imagine explaining what I said above to that person....so now...no worries if we go out of town. And Lastly, it's an amazing light....yes it's smaller then CBB light, but oh My!!! This thing is just as good, if not better , especially with ease of use from the app then the previous CBB light. I am very impressed. We use it as a secondary light on our 40B, and I highly recommend it!! Only issue is...it is really made for a rimless Nano Tank, the mounting bracket is short, and does not work with a rimmed tank, but thankfully, I was able to reverse engineer a way to mount it and even use the same plug and bracket as the CBB light...so I'm all good now.

After reading and watching reviews on this light I wasn’t really expecting much tbh. 1) The mount doesn’t work with a normal tank rim so I ended having to notch a small piece out of the lip where the lid would sit to make it work. Not the end of the world but could be designed better. Seems the mount is only made for rimless tanks. 2) the Bluetooth control app although easy to install and setup takes some time to figure out how to use. It’s bit very user friendly but it does everything you need it too once you figure out how to use it. 3) The preset light settings are horrible you will need to make your own settings. They are way to powerful in the wrong spectrums. 4) if light looses power it will not turn back on until you connect back to it through the app as if all the settings are not stored internally with a capacitor and it doesn’t remember what to do wo connecting back to your phone. Now on to the good things.. 1) has way more power then given credit. I can cook sps with this thing if I need to. I haven’t measured the par but on a 10g pico this is installed I and getting fast growth at even just 60% v-b and 8% whites.. I have no doubt this light can be used on tanks up to 18” deep long as you keep sps to the top 2/3 of the tank. 2) the light spread is way underrated. Most value lights are going to come with 90* lenses this lights 120* lenses really shines. I’ve got sps all the way to once side of the tank near top and it’s wncrusted it’s plug in just 2 weeks wo 2 part dosing. All in all I think this is a great light. Just enough shimmer wo getting that cheap disco ball effect. The swiveling if the mount for easier access to tank is great and you’ll be using it every day. It could be a bit more range in the swivel but it’s wbkugh I can swing one way and access that half then swing the other way for the other side. As low as this light sits over the tank this is a big must and it has it. There is very little shading anywhere and considering this is a 20” Long tank with just a 5” light mounted only 6” above the surface I tend to think even that 120* lenses ratting is a bit under stated. I’ve dropped water all over the light wo issues. The mount has plenty of adjustability for any size or shape tank you’d be using this on. I wouldn’t hesitate to use 3 of these in a 40g breeder setup on bit. The “cyan” coloring is not the normal cyan you find in other lights. Most of the time this is a version of your whites and greens mixed.. on this light it’s not. This is your light blue spectrum and the blue is your royal blue so don’t short yourself on this when designing your own profiles. FYI the reds are way over powering and I recommend not using them at all unless you like growing algea. I’m running 100% v-b-c no reds and 8% whites now after starting with 60% settings while corals were acclimating to tank. You have all the features of the HD primes, kessil, and radion xr lights with being able to adjust specific intensities, spectrums, with custom times allowing for ramping up and down. You can even if you want under the pro settings adjust when each color spectrum starts it’s ramp. For example I use just v-b on one hour ramp to 100% till 5pm then whites ramp to 8% then at 10 everything ramps down together to 5% blue moonlights for two hours then dark resting period. This way I’m only blasting with whites for when I’m around to view the tank and only enough for my viewing preference. If you wanted to run this on a sps only tank you can up to 18” deep I’m sure of it. The only issue is you’ll likely have to run whites at max to get the par up.

Great Light. Perfect for my 10 gallon rimless. Be aware that this light is not made to be used with an aquarium that has rim, max it fits is 8mm. The app works great, many features to choose from. I do wish it was wifi so I could monitor when away. Light is bright, I have it on a dennerle shrimp king 10 g. It would be cool in future updates if users could share their light settings in the Pro mode. There are three settings manual, auto, and pro. All can be further customized as you wish. Or you can use one of the three preset pro settings or the preset auto setting or make your own using any of the three. The app is the same that works with the entire fluval Plant Spectrum LED line. You can independently set all available led light colors including three different white color warmths. It took me less than five minutes to have the light installed and set on a schedule using one of the preset pro schedules. The light seems to be bright enough to grow high light plants in a 10 gallon, and probably could do low to medium in a 15 gallon. The price can't be beat for a fixture with 63 leds and a built in ramp timer and customizations available. I left the dennerle nano 5.0 led up for size and output comparison. The dennerle is the same price, but has less leds (12) and no timer, I had to spend another $11 for a ramp timer for it. This light is IP67 so it should survive just fine over an open top aquarium and even if dropped in the water. Only other small flaw is that the LED module is not replaceable, this would be nice. Last two picture show light difference between the dennerle nano 5.0 and Fluval with all leds on 100.

Ich verwende die Fluval Plant 3.0 mittlerweile auf fast allen meine Nano-Aquarien (30 und 60 Liter) und bin voll zufrieden damit. Mir gefällt das Lichtspektrum und die Einstellung der Lampe ist super einfach. Die Nano Plant 3.0 hat 7500 Lumen - während die Plant 3.0 "nur" 6500 Lumen hat (just 4 info) den Unterschied sieht man! Neben 3 Voreinstellungen (die etwas "kompliziert" zu finden sind - hier musste ich erst Fluval anschreiben ... das ist im App echt doof ...) ist die Lampe sehr sehr einfach einzustellen. Die 3 Presets braucht man eigentlich nicht. Sind eher eine Möglichkeit noch viel einfacher ein Lichtspektrum einzustellen. ABER: Im Vergleich zu einer gleichpreisigen Chihiros RGB Lampe sind die Einstellmöglichkeiten eher gering. Man kann das Licht lediglich etwas "wärmer" oder "kälter" stellen in dem man die verschiedenen färbigen LEDs heller oder dunkler, dazu oder wegschaltet. Chihiros hat RGB LEDs und damit geht wirklich alles. Auch ist die Lampe mit 1000 Lumen meiner Meinung nach perfekt für 30 Liter bis max 60 Liter (Naturaquarien) geeignet. Wenn man z.b. einen 60 Liter Cube (Dennerle) mit Bodendeckern bepflanzen mag sind die 1000 Lumen schon etwas zu schwach - 1500 Lumen wären empfohlen (Chihiros hat das) Wenn einem aber das Lichtspektrum gefällt (und für mich ist es ein sehr naturähnliches Spektrum, ich habe 90% Naturquarien), dann ist es eine perfekte und schöne Lampe. Für Aquascaping würde ich sie NICHT empfehlen - da ist man bei Chihiros (oder anderen Herstellern) viele besser bedient weil man unterschiedliche Farbtöne im Aquarium (z.B Rot- oder Grüntöne uvm.) direkt hervorheben kann.

I'm updating this review because this evening I was able to download a firmware update for this device. I'm so delighted with it that I immediately came to Amazon to edit my former three-star review and upgrade it to five stars. I chose this particular light because of the Bluetooth feature- I have several aquariums and did not want to cope with each one having its own individual remote and timer. I own three of these lights, only one of which was bought from Amazon, as well as a larger Fluval Aquasky, and I love being able to control them all from the same app. The Bluetooth app for Android pairs well enough with occasional refusal to connect, which for me is always fixed by rebooting the phone or closing the app completely and clearing it from the phone memory before restarting. I am delighted that the recent firmware update has added multiple photoperiods (which come recommended by many professional aquascapers) as well as separate "night" and "sleep" settings, meaning you can have a moonlight setting that turns into full darkness during the wee hours of the night (or whenever you choose to set them). There are only two drawbacks to the Nano light- it lacks the "effects" features that the larger Aquasky lights have. I can see no reason that the Nano can't do a thunderstorm or cloudy day effect like the larger lights by Fluval do using the exact same app. Also, the "sunrise" and "sunset" are quite abrupt in the end even though I have them set to last four hours each- it goes from darkness to quite bright in an instant at the beginning of sunrise and the opposite at the end of sunset. However, I must say that this is the best Nano light I have found at this price point. My plants are healthy and I can easily give it five stars now that they've updated it to allow for multiple photoperiods.

Slight glitch with The timer called fluvial customer service Who weren’t very helpful On my first call But it was all sorted out in the end It’s a brilliant lamp I would recommend it to anyone A bit overpriced but works well

geweldig product !! en zeker 100 procent zijn geld waard voor de aquaria hobby . nu meeste mensen zeggen max 30 liter aquariums . bij mij staat deze op een 60+ liter [40x40x50] en ik moest de verlichting op 60 procent maar zetten want anders was alles gewoon te fel van verlichting . ook kan men alle kleuren van het spectrum manueel aanpassen , zowel zons ondergang als opgang als nacht verlichting , makkelijk en duidelijk te bedienen via de fluval app , en in de app kan je de inviduele verlichting per 1 % zelfs het al instellen wat deze verlichting echt uniek maakt , bovendien heeft deze ook nog eens 3 vooraf geprogrammeerde functies door de fabrikant zelf als je het niet zelf wil doen , zowel ook als een professionele modus waar je echt alles kan in regelen.

Ottimo per I nano e i pico reef
