Anyone try this with a freshwater planted tank?

Yes I did. The primary reason to buy it was To have light for my plants. With red light they grow faster and with blue light they grow very slow. The color has a clear reaction on photosyntesis. Good choice

I have one. works well. lots of bright colors and settings. no complaints here.

Yes, worked perfectly. I put it in (1.5 bags) for about an acre pond, in April, just as the algae was growing. Within a few days the algae turns dark and drops to the bottom and disappears.

No. This light is mainly just to light up thr tank and show off the fish. I have the same tank and I am using this light as well as the current USA freshwater planted+ light. Look at that one because it will provide you with medium light.

Sure. I use it from an 18 gallon tank up to my hydroponic tomatoes three times a day.

Yes, you can use this products with fish. This product will not hurt the fish. It is not intended for plant-only tanks.

Yes. I use this for a 46 gallon freshwater tank. The LED's emit less heat than a florescent, so there is low, almost no algee growth. It is not good if you want to keep live plants in the tank for the same reason algee does not grow. This single bright gives plenty of natural light, although I would like a little more night (blue) light. I added two small blue LED/bubble walls in back and it looks great at night!

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

Yes probably. I have a 75 gallon freshwater planted tank and I have an Eheim filter. In the two of the three baskets of filter media I have this. This is a fabulous product as it keeps the good bacteria in the aquarium on the media. I just rinse it out every time I clean the tank with lukewarm water and reuse it until it gets the color of a dark caramel. Hope this helps and good luck.

I used it on my 10g tank. The fine control was a bit tricky, but it worked okay in the end.

I have a freshwater tank but I just read someone else say they used it in salt water and I guess the salt can clog up the air bubble holes and they removed the light after a year.

Yes, I used it as a freshwater tank. However, there are better alternatives for freshwater that are cheaper and give you much more tank space for the same footprint. I retired my Nuvo and went to a standard tank with a hang on filter. Also, small fish (I had the problem with a couple of loaches) can get into the filter through the overflow and it is next to impossible to get them out- there are almost no saltwater fish small enough to be a problem.

No I have this in a 12 gallon fluval edge and it works great. Might need stronger for a 30gal depending on length and how strong of current you want. But works great on my small 12gal very satisfied.

Yes, but beware that some ammonia pads are freshwater only. Something to keep in mind if your have a saltwater tank.

I have freshwater tanks currently but I really do like this filter. I use it in my 29gal planted. I didn't use the carbon and used matrix in its place. You can slow or speed up the filter too. Easy to clean. Buy the filter replacements on Amazon. You can find non-branded ones or cut some to size you self. I don't use the drip tray prefilter though, get gunked up fast. I have a small bio wheel in my 10gal shrimp tank. I like it to but the wheel gets stuck and won't spin at times. Don't have to worry about that with this fluval filter and it has an indicator to let you know when it needs cleaning. I recommend it.

I would not use this light with a non-planted tank as the PAR would support algae. I would use a basic LED light if you want viewing ability only along with the shimmer effect they create. I don't believe you can purchase extended mounts either.

it may be a little too strong for freshwater plants or a little bit of overkill. But it is a great light. I use my 16" on a 29 gallon biocube. With all kinds of coral. And it's only at 60% a few hours a day. Very nice light. You may want to ask Hobbie Bug this question.

The Magnum 350 will work fine on a 20 gallon planted tank. All you have to do is adjust the valves that are included with this filter (which you install into the intake and return hoses) so that you can adjust the flow of water. This way your fishes and plants will not be disturbed by its current.
