Good with one big drawback
By Mudraker
A nice sturdy light for the money.It does have a few drawbacks as already reviewed, namely the fact the power has to run through a timer (which is included) as there is no off/on switch for either tube.The ballast itself is quite sturdy, more than I thought it would be for the price when compared to more high-end brands.The brackets that attach to the aquarium to hold up the light are not as sturdy as I would like for such a heavy piece balanced over water.Also, the product description doesn't fully spellout the right size bulbs you have to buy, as they are NOT included. I bought the 36" system, but it takes 34" bulbs.A very good value for the money. I have mine over a 45 gallon tall, freshwater, planted aquarium and the light penetrates to the bottom quite evenly.I would buy another as I feel the price is very good for the heavy-duty construction of the actual fixture, as long as you know the above mentioned quirks.I might also note there is no lens cover included if this matters to you.

Great Light
By David
Fantastic light for a 75gal tank. I especially like the includedtimer. Makes this much easier as I like everything hidden. Ithink one of the other reviewers ordered the wrong fixture. Itfits my 75 perfectly. Now all that's left is an auto feeder = )

Okay until it died
By Stoobiwik
Had this lighting setup for about 2 years, which is not bad, but then it just unexpectedly stopped working. This is because there is NO water blocking shield on the light at all, which over time caused water to build up in the unit and caused it to die. This could easily be fixed by a simple shield, unfortunately the light doesn't come with one. I was disappointed to see it go and will be switching to an Aqueon LED setup.
