NICREW C10 24/7 LED Aquarium Light for Plants, 18-24 Inches, 13 W, Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light with Timer, Adjustable Brightness

I really cannot stress enough how much I love this light. I have the 12-18 on a 10 gal, and it did look a little short to me at first but puts out a ton of light, and I would like my fish to have some shadey corners to get out of the bright light so it's really perfect. The brackets are a little short, it would feel more secure with an extra inch of bracket, but then I dunno if it would fit on a 5.5 gal, which It fits nicely on. I cannot definitively tell if this size is aluminum casing, but the 18-24 in model is. Things I love: -It is very low profile. If you position it right, you can sit/lay on the couch and the light blends into the black rim of the tank and you can't even see it, which makes it look like a beautiful glowing slice of the sea! -Timer and daylight cycle runs itself -Pre-programmed daylight cycle, ready to go out-of-the-box -Slow on/off doesn't scare fish, ramps up/down in 15 min intervals -I can set it on fun colors for gatherings -Very bright -The cord is long -It does not seem to put out much heat, although I do not have mine sitting on a hood. -It is very light-weight, so much so it does not support the cooling fan (tried just to see). **It is the nicest light for personalization. You can personalize your daylight cycle 24hrs, 6am-8am-10am-12pm-2pm-4pm-6pm-8pm-10pm-12am. (From 12am-6am it will remain the same, and you could run moonlight all night but it grows a ton of algea and isnt really good for the tank.) I add in a beautiful sunset effect before bed that REALLY makes my betta look stellar. -VERY afforable option for small tanks Things I don't love: -The plug is bulky, has to go at the end of the power strip -It's not waterproof, although my cat has knocked this is once or twice and I immediately got it out and it was okay. -If the power goes out, it restarts at 6am if in daylight cycle (other stationary modes would be resumed as normal) -Bracket feels a little short (although it does remain stable and does NOT dip in the middle due to the bracket being too short) I have now purchased one of these lights for all 3 of my tanks and I've been extremely happy with them so far. FYI, the same remote works for all 3 lights, you just have to point it at the one you want to control, so you dont have to have multiple remotes sitting around. Might be a mild issue if you have 2 tanks really close together tho, I have not tried yet.

It's been a couple of months and have had zero issues so far. I love the 24 hour mode. It's so easy, just set it and forget it. The remote is nice and the light has a lot of options.

Awesome light for aquarium with different settings which can be controlled by a handy remote.
