Hey sorry i know this isn't about the video but my fish got really injured by a rock his right side of his face is mostly meat showing and it's keeps getting worst and he has blood ,even when we put him in a quarantine tank his swimming fine but he isn't eating and that fish is really special i don't want to be gone and we brought meliex is there any advice you can give me
I like the way you do these kind of product reviews. You strike a good balance between useful information and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work!
I've used various sizes of these lights for about 6 months. I absolutely love them. Good with planted tanks, and the newer ones I got with the auto timers are fantastic.
Iv'e been wanting to upgrade my lights forever. Started watching your channel lately and after seeing this video, i'm sold! Perfect, love the controls! Ordered the bubbler filter too. Great fun videos! I really enjoy em, and look forward to getting my light! 🙂🐟 *Subscribed*
Thanks, I've had this light for 3 months and couldn't figure out the switches even with the instructions. Because of your class, I can take advantage of the features, Thanks again.
Thank you for this review! Timely for me, as I just purchased two Hygger HG-990s for my 6 and 5.5 gallon nano tanks. I started with the Aqueon clip-ons, but I wanted more adjustability without spending a bundle. These lights are outstanding for the price and my tanks are gorgeous. In particular, your review was most helpful in setting up and understanding the features. That switch control is TINY. Good light and reading glasses required! As a new fish keeper, I really enjoy your reviews, and well, all your videos. You're my go to channel. All the best!
I like the reviews uploaded midweek as long as the Sunday video doesn't change - my 75g has a center brace, will get two 18" to replace the Aquaneats I'm running now. Thanks John💕👍
I just got one for my 75 gal and maaaaan you are the mother effin GOAT because the instructions manual sux at explaining all the functions! Thank you so much for your videos! 🎉
I honestly love that the fish hobby, specially when we are talking about LED lights, are constantly working on making the best light possible at the affordable price. I got 2 hygger planted +24/7 lights for an 18L X 18W x 36H tall terrarium and they are SUPER bright.
Got the hygger lights on all 3 of my aquariums I love them. The 24/7 timer that starts with the sunrise and ends with the moonlight is amazing and don’t have to ever worry about turning lights on or off
I enjoy the pretty moonlight setting for a little while at night before winding down, but with tanks in my bedroom, I don't want to flood the room with blue light- I wish it had a true darkness setting on the 24 so I didn't have to unplug every night 😅. (Thanks for the tips on setting those timers, John, every single one is different, it's so confusing!)
This is the feature that is really intriguing to me. Is it easy to program? Would i be able to be able to show all the light colors (like to a guest) without messing up the schedule?
I have 1 hygger light and I love it. I’m glad y’all are selling them now. Honestly though I do not use the timer settings. I prefer to be able to adjust and balance my tank for algae control and plant growth. I have 30min increments on my cheap mechanical timer so I use it instead.
I've been using Hygger products and I'm happy to report they're a fantastic brand! I have their light and their wave pump. Works great so far; no problems.
Absolutely love this light!! I have the 18inch one on my uns tank and I have to say it’s extremely easy to use. Just plug it in and set the 24 hour setting and you’re good. I’d recommend it to everyone.
👍😎 Thanks John. I’ve been thinking of replacing lights on my 125, still have the T5 (rain gutter looking) ones. When you do a filter review, put Methane blue or food coloring inside of it before you turn it on, did that years ago (just to put med’s in) then watching the flow was kinda cool. And you’ve stepped up your video’s, good job. Live stream with Prime Time was funny, I actually laughed out loud when listening.
I love your reviews. You do a really good presentation. Your down to earth and it makes sense. I am upsizing to a 75 gl tank and looking at a lot of reviews about lights. I like a planted tank and am looking for a light that reaches to the bottom. I have watched a lot of reviews. Yours are the best. Keep up the good work.
Well done video and enjoyed it. The one thing I wish I could find in reviewers is a follow-up review after some use of the products. If you could speak about how well the plants grew or didnt grow, or how the product seemed to hold up after 6 months. Anyways thanks for the honest review.
Again, kick ass review John, Love your no-nonsense approach to your product reviews and have enjoyed previous videos you have. I especially enjoyed the one you did on the Fuval's 407 canister filter so much that I purchase one for my planted 75-gallon tank. Works just fine, since in a planted tank you really don't want a very fast current. I run mine with a spray bar from Flow Tamer and it works great with the set up. V/R Carlos.
Subscribed. I was a fish nerd in the 80’s & 90’s. Haven’t kept a tank in over 20 years, I bred and sold Apisto’s, Julisichromis, Congo Tetra’s and others as well. Really appreciate this video as I was looking at these lights for a 125 I am setting up. Do a review on box filters for those folks who don’t have experience with these super simple, reliable, adaptable OG staples. 😁
GREAT VIDEO, JOHN! I agree, that this is a great option for people who can't afford the expensive ones. Unfortunately it came out just a couple of weeks too late for me to order from you, because I just recently purchased the Hygger light with the 24 hour cycle to upgrade my 75g from my very old fashioned neon growth lights. I am currently trying the 24 hour cycle which pretty much is the same schedule I am on. I didn't have John's great instructions but figured it out. The 24 hr schedule is fun, but even in the middle of the day, the light is not at its brightest and you can't adjust. So far, my plants are doing well, I have had some growth on some of them within days (Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus). I have some other simpler Hygger lights on a couple of smaller tanks and the plants are doing well without the 24 hr cycle. If the 24 hr cycle on the 75 g doesn't work out after a month, I can always switch to one of the other cycles. But so far, I love this light. Definitely great for the price!
Good content! I just purchased my first Fluval for a plants only experiment tank. I am doing two plants only tanks. One for harder water plants. One for what I think are softer water plants. Technically, I should be doing four tanks to really prove my theories and may once I prove this step. Anyway, I am in the market for even more lights. If the wattage is the same as Fluval, I may go with the Hygger. I am also setting up some bigger tanks in my soon to be fishroom and these will fit the budget! Thanks!!!!
I've had the 24/7 light since I set up my tank in March and I've had good luck growing plants and love the 24/7 cycle. Its a set it and forget it light. I like the way I can still see my fish/tank for several extra hours without worrying about having my light on for too long creating algae.
I'm not big on commenting but I've been out of the fish hobby for 10 years because of work. I retired and I'm back!😂. Back in the day I didn't have utube. Such a highway of information ❣️. I'm starting with an eguatic with some fish turtle tank but will soon be doing a 55 gallon community tank. I love your channel 💗. You 2 are smart, cute and intertaining. My biggest gole is making sure my pets are happy and healthy.😊. I've learned so much! Thanks for what you do.😜
I like that if you set a light level, when you shut it off & on again, it comes on at that level. I have my aquariums on my Home Automation system, Dawn to dusk,
I really like the hygger lights. Great value imo. Would love to see a review on the hygger horizon 8 gallon glass aquarium kit. I really like it but would love to see an honest review by some of my fave fish UA-camrs.😊
I have one tank that I turn the blue light on at night. I use it as a night light when I let my dogs out to do their business. Works like a charm! (Something about turning on the bright overhead lights wakes me up too much!) And I have noticed that when the lights come on in my 125 (on a regular $4 timer from Walmart) my fish scatter and I'm afraid they may run into something. These lights will be perfect for that tank! And it really does seem much simpler than the dimmer switch that I added.....that thing is extremely difficult to set, like you said. I'm almost hoping one of mine burns out so I can buy one of these. ;-) Great tutorial! Thanks!
Got back in the hobby after 4 years. Looking for a affordable good light. Saw you recommended this light. I looked at no more videos! If you Trust, I trust it!
Fantastic! I think I may try these lights when it's time to get some. Currently doing my research becauae I hope to soon attempt my first planted tank for a betta. Wish me luck!
Hi John, I have this brand but mine is submersible but I have it suction cuped to the top of my hood and the programming is the same. I use the 24/7 setting. I love it.
I have 3 of them 12"-48" Awesome lights. The only problem is fine tuning is a lil complicated. The ones I have are a lil different. The controls for the light are on the end of the base lit up by a led light.
I just got this light from you guys about 3 days ago and I've been debating on which timer to use and the directions were confusing I love when you guys do reviews of something and explain how to use them is so much easier than reading the directions that it came with thank you one thing I like to know this 24/7 mode gets to full brightness is that going to be okay for a betta fish to use the 24/7
Very informative like quality honest information on products. Like the light levels company said nine levels but you were honest to explain how the manufacturer claims more for advertising but you tell us how there determines that. I like simply too less things to go wrong.
After the success with their lights I've now added a Hygger heater. Digital control set and forget item. L O V E I T! No more messing with those inaccurate twist spring tube heaters. !
About to order the 18w version of this light for my 34gallon seaclear acrylic hex aquarium. I just put on a tidal 75 from you onto this tank. This tank was my snail tank for my puffer fish, but since his passing I got rid of his old tank and am revamping the acrylic tank. Thanks for your reviews. I was about to buy the fluval 3.0 plant light 22w version for 150 dollars, but after seeing this light, I figure for 45 dollar shipped its worth a try. Again thanks for your content.
I'm still using some original floorscent fixtures. Geez. And never drop one of them in a tank!! I will be upgrading to these new leds soon. Thank you and keep up the product reviews. It's hard for many of us to keep up with all that is new AND PRACTICAL in the hobby.
Haha you guys did a video on the Hygger filters I have, now you guys are doing one on the lights and now I feel super cool 😎. I got the brightest ones they have so a bit pricier, but I got a discount because I got them on Prime day.
Hello John and Lisa, As I'm coming back into the hobby I want to do things right but also not go crazy when it comes to spending the money, I was not sure which way to go regarding filtration until watching your video on the many hang on the backs and now I'm pleased to say thanks to you it is going to be the seachem tidal 110 which will be perfect for my needs, Next was aquarium lighting, which will be the Hygger, as you say aquarium lighting can come with so many different settings etc, but and how many of these do we actually need ? so next is your aquarium heaters and air pumps reviews keep up the good work that you are doing as it is very much appreciated Paul from the UK
My 120 cichlid tank is almost setup with all hygger components. Lights, wave makers, heaters, water pumps, and air diffuser. So far I am impressed. Time will tell how long they will last!
I switched to this hygger for my planted 20 high and my plants exploded into GREAT growth !! These have been my new go to light. Previous light was stingray 24/7 light that isn’t very strong on 20 high.
@@kenjiro2676 medium to low light except for my rotala and my ludwigia which didn’t take off until I got the hygger light they did so so. But not great and I use root tabs and ada soil and soil substrates and no co2
By Stingray do you mean Finnex light? I recently bought a Finnex marine 2 for my 25 gallon tall tank and I’m still not satisfied. I’m gone try a Kessil 80 next.
I got one of these, it's a great light. Then someone reccomended the finnex light. It's twice the price but I love the remote and how much you can customize the 24/7 mode and RGB light values. Both are great lights imo
those clip on back hyggers are nice if you can get them to fit over the top molding. The lay on flats are the only lights that are 100% compatible with all tanks... You will still need a glass top... the metal rods that hold the light up will rust badly if you don't keep them from getting wet!
I just ordered the 18W based on this presentation. Thanks for all the info, known brand lights have ridiculous pricing and can basically impede this hobby when going for multiple tanks. Was looking for this kind of affordable lights, would have ordered from you if i were in the US but im in Europe.
I just got one of the Hygger lights with the 24/7 setting. Unfortunately it came with the plug/power supply piece missing. I contacted Hygger and within an hour they had sent me a message that they were sending a replacement out. As long as it shows up, that's quality support.
Love the Hyggers. The ramp up, ramp down (sunrise/sunset) is cool. I don’t use their timer since my lighting preferences are different. I just plug them into a plug-in timer. Their build and thin profile rocks. Thanks.
Love you channel! Lots of great info and product reviews. I use and love hygger lights. I use them on my 55s. My question is what would you recommend for a 100g. At 60" length?
My Hyggers morning lights pop on at like 10 am, and then ramp down by 2am I've noticed The sunset mode makes this light kinda wonky. I love it though. Just set your lights at 10am if you want blue lights at around 12, and then turn off by 2am.
@@JakeYde I've got a planted 55 with the 48" light, and two 12.5s with the 12" lights. I think the key with lights that aren't super high powered is longer light cycles. I have really good luck with 16 hours on, 8 hours off. The low light, long cycle trick is one I learned from the MD Fish Tanks channel.
@UCmY1a4-Ngg-Dh1hKd0_vz4A Best of luck with it. Try dialing in the longest light cycle you can without getting too much algae growth. By the way, I also use API leaf zone every week, and API CO2 boost a couple times a week to prevent algae.
Thanks for the great instructional videos! Please tell me which lights would work best for my 150 gallon tank . I really like the 24 hour mode that you described but it doesn’t come in 72”. Right now I have two LED strips that are pretty at night but not powerful enough to make plants happy on the bottom. I want to add floating water plants and remove the glass tops . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
John making it sound so much better to not have an app 😂. I actually own three of the planted lights by them and love them. They are pretty good lights but I do wish there was an app to run them
I have a hygger 24/7 clip on and a fluval 3.0 for my CO2 tanks Both do the job. The fluval is more natural, but I prefer the "blue" look of the hygger.
*Here is the link to purchase the lights, over $79.99 get's you free shipping!!*

Absolutely love this light!! I have the 18inch one on my uns tank and I have to say it’s extremely easy to use. Just plug it in and set the 24 hour setting and you’re good. I’d recommend it to everyone.
whats the actual length of the light? i have a 15 inch lenght tank, debating if go for the 12-18 or 18-24
I've just bought a 42inch and you've made things very clear to setup....thanks a lot 👍
👍😎 Thanks John. I’ve been thinking of replacing lights on my 125, still have the T5 (rain gutter looking) ones. When you do a filter review, put Methane blue or food coloring inside of it before you turn it on, did that years ago (just to put med’s in) then watching the flow was kinda cool.

So far I am impressed. Time will tell how long they will last!
Good luck!
How are they now?
Any updates?
two years later where’s the update man lol
I switched to this hygger for my planted 20 high and my plants exploded into GREAT growth !! These have been my new go to light. Previous light was stingray 24/7 light that isn’t very strong on 20 high.
Are these low tech plants? Or medium to high light plants?
@@kenjiro2676 medium to low light except for my rotala and my ludwigia which didn’t take off until I got the hygger light they did so so. But not great and I use root tabs and ada soil and soil substrates and no co2
By Stingray do you mean Finnex light?
I recently bought a Finnex marine 2 for my 25 gallon tall tank and I’m still not satisfied. I’m gone try a Kessil 80 next.
This is awesome! Thank you!
I got one of these, it's a great light. Then someone reccomended the finnex light. It's twice the price but I love the remote and how much you can customize the 24/7 mode and RGB light values. Both are great lights imo
Thanks just bought it immediately
Keep up the reviews love your perspective
Thank you for this video!
Great review will purchase from u !
Great video, very helpful
those clip on back hyggers are nice if you can get them to fit over the top molding. The lay on flats are the only lights that are 100% compatible with all tanks... You will still need a glass top... the metal rods that hold the light up will rust badly if you don't keep them from getting wet!
I just ordered the 18W based on this presentation. Thanks for all the info, known brand lights have ridiculous pricing and can basically impede this hobby when going for multiple tanks. Was looking for this kind of affordable lights, would have ordered from you if i were in the US but im in Europe.
Yes, the hygger is great value with amazing build quality and features.
I just got one of the Hygger lights with the 24/7 setting. Unfortunately it came with the plug/power supply piece missing. I contacted Hygger and within an hour they had sent me a message that they were sending a replacement out. As long as it shows up, that's quality support.
I love reviews on products.
Really good review.👍
I love how active that polypterus is back there
Nice lights for sure i have been looking for 1 for my 10gal tank
GREAT info, ty muchly
Thanks John. I like using 24hr time. It makes me sound smart!😊
Well timed video.I'm in the market for new lights at the mo.
Listening….. I sure hope so because I just bought one!
Thanks so much for this man
Great info.
Great review!
Love the Hyggers. The ramp up, ramp down (sunrise/sunset) is cool. I don’t use their timer since my lighting preferences are different. I just plug them into a plug-in timer. Their build and thin profile rocks. Thanks.
How has nobody seen this😂😂😂
I like that light I have the heater they make 300w I think but it’s nice too 👍
I ordered the 4ft hygger light. We really like it.
Love you channel! Lots of great info and product reviews. I use and love hygger lights. I use them on my 55s. My question is what would you recommend for a 100g. At 60" length?
Thanks John, great info, tell the QUEEN Thanks also
Next light I need I'll get one of these from you.
My Hyggers morning lights pop on at like 10 am, and then ramp down by 2am I've noticed
The sunset mode makes this light kinda wonky. I love it though. Just set your lights at 10am if you want blue lights at around 12, and then turn off by 2am.
it is really nice on the tanks in the bedroom
Supporting you guys 🎉
I've been using Hygger lights for all my tanks for months and I love them. They're powerful enough to grow healthy plants, and they don't get too hot.
I've dunked several of mine accidentally and no issues
What size tank are you growing plants with a hygger on? It didn't do anything on my 75g.
@@JakeYde I've got a planted 55 with the 48" light, and two 12.5s with the 12" lights.
I think the key with lights that aren't super high powered is longer light cycles. I have really good luck with 16 hours on, 8 hours off.
The low light, long cycle trick is one I learned from the MD Fish Tanks channel.
@UCmY1a4-Ngg-Dh1hKd0_vz4A Best of luck with it. Try dialing in the longest light cycle you can without getting too much algae growth.
By the way, I also use API leaf zone every week, and API CO2 boost a couple times a week to prevent algae.
@@jhoags92 sorry if this is a noob question, how did you set the 16 hours on, 8 hours off?
Thanks for the great instructional videos! Please tell me which lights would work best for my 150 gallon tank . I really like the 24 hour mode that you described but it doesn’t come in 72”. Right now I have two LED strips that are pretty at night but not powerful enough to make plants happy on the bottom. I want to add floating water plants and remove the glass tops . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
u should do a review on your new sump. that would be great
John making it sound so much better to not have an app 😂. I actually own three of the planted lights by them and love them. They are pretty good lights but I do wish there was an app to run them
I have a hygger 24/7 clip on and a fluval 3.0 for my CO2 tanks
Both do the job. The fluval is more natural, but I prefer the "blue" look of the hygger.
I have Hygger lights on almost all of my tanks! Hygger makes a great magnetic algae scrapper too!
