    Hi yall, been lurking on these forums for a few years now and this place has given me a ton of useful knowledge and advice when I first got started in this hobby. I would like to give back a little by documenting a quick tutorial on getting a custom timer to work that works with the finnex 24/7...

    is it worth it to go after a cheaper aquarium light. instead of spending more on a fluval or a finnex light, can you get the same plant growth results with a cheaper light company like Hygger or NICREW?

    I have a Finnex Max-300 temperature controller that I haven’t used in a while. I am trying to set it up again and the display is blinking “99”. Unfortunately I don’t have a set of instructions for it and I can’t find one online. Does anyone familiar with the controller know what the blinking...

    What lights would be recommended for Waterbox Clear Pro 7225 167G (72.3"L ×25.3"W ×23.6"H) tank. I'm planning to grow high-light plants using fertilizer and Co2. All the on-line reviews I'm seeing are pointing to the use of Fluval Plant 3.0 or the little know about Finnex Planted+ 24/7 ALC...

    Does anyone have a Finnex Stingray 2 in either 12" or 16" that could tell me if the legs on either can be adjusted to fit a 14" aquarium? I like the Finnex brand, the other light I have from them was amazing on my 3 gal.

    So I'm a bit confused and hoping someone can give/link me the exact data I need or confirm an accurate formula to get the par info I need from par taken on a longer light of that model and/or deeper depth. I'd read that using LED # does not make an accurate equation to determine par?? Is this...

    Hey guys, so I have a question. So the Finnex 24/7 Planted Plus has 8 different time blocks where the light is different. I was wondering if the lights have sufficient intensity at the times besides 12pm-3pm and 3pm-6pm. I cant customize this light so I am debating just putting it at the...

    Just made an account and still need to update my profile but I'm excited to join the community. Now that I have finally bought 2 rimless tanks to replace my $/gal tanks, I'm in the market for two 36" light upgrades. It seems now that both companies have worked out problems and listened to their...

    Has anyone figured out how the time settings work on the Finnex Planted Plus CC? I have it set through the custom settings to come on at 6am and off at 9am, but it's actually on for far longer than that. At about 10am, the light is still on even though the 9am setting is for complete dark...

    Here is my rant/hopefully fix on my Finnex Planted Plus 36" lights. I have two Finnex Planted Plus 36" fixtures i purchased about two years ago. The reason i went with the Finnex LED fixtures was i wanted them to last longer than T5HO bulbs and be energy efficient. I looked around and i liked...

    Hello all! I have a question regarding lighting for a low tech tank, but this will also serve as a chance for me to check my understanding of tank balance. When researching lighting for my 29gal I found that Finnex Stingray LED lighting should serve well for a low tech tank, which is what I...
