Enhance Fish and Plant Colours

Balanced white, red, green, and blue light adds clarity and contrast while making greenery, red plants, fish, rocks, and wood appear more vivid.

See Your Settings at a Glance

The LCD screen clearly displays the time, selected mode, brightness, and scheduled operation, so you don’t have to guess what the light is doing.

Comfortable Changes for Aquarium Life

Gradual lighting transitions create a gentler environment than switching instantly between darkness and full brightness.

20-Gallon Long Tanks: Most standard 20-gallon long aquariums are approximately 76 cm (30 inches) wide and are a good match.
