So glad i can finally show off these lights. A few years in the making!! Get your Aquariumcoop led light here: geni.us/xrJq3U

Loved the comparison part of the video at the end! The light speaks for itself. I really love that it isn't too warm/ yellow or too cold/ blue.

I have the prototype light, bought it at the co-op. I love that there is no app, easy adjustment and my plants are doing great.

I love my 3.0 and aquasky. The customization is really fun to tinker with. I like the sunrise and sunset feature built into the light. Personally never had an issue with the app or Bluetooth features and I like accessing all my lights from my phone. The co-op light seems like a quality light, but not having the customization or sunrise/set features are a no go for me. But to each their own! Like Cory says, you can’t please everyone! Loved the the video, the comparisons were really well done. Cheers!

I love the lights! YES, they remember the light settings when you're using a timer. 😀

Thank you for the compare Bob. They knocked it out of the park on this one.

I have 2 Fluval 3.0s and a Fluval Aqua Sky. I bought one 3.0 from Cory several years ago and the other from PetSmart. Both AquaSky and Plant3.0 are excellent for planted tanks bc they have timers you can set via App! I highly recommend using Steenfotts affiliate link if planning on buying from Aquarium Coops sight bc thats a killer price! Great video Bob!🧡

my next tank set up im getting this!! I ❤️ AQUARIUMCOOP!!!!!

This light looks like an easier and better spectrum 3.0 I’ll definitely give one a try

Scored a 24 & 36! Thanks for the video!

I'm laughing at Bob intentionally bumping the light on the wall, flexing it, etc.. . So sturdy! lol

I would get the Aquarium Coop one if I could. It looks great!!

Love your dog they are the best breed and thank you for the information

It is super impressing that Cory is making a light this good. AND super embarrassing for all the aquarium companys! Yes! 😄

My kinda cable. All of my power points are across the room from the tanks. Thanks 🙏 Bob

Coop and Fluval look very similar...so for the price, warranty, and loyalty...COOP wins for me!

Thank you, I have been waiting to see this light. I use a regular light bulb in a round shop metal light with a clamp on it. LED light bulb low watt but my tanks needs a real light. I have fluorescent lights but they need new transformers like every year. I think they need all new wires too. Moisture always gets into them somehow. Thanks again-

Mine's arriving Monday! Cory said the lights remember the setting you set. I'm glad for all the features and price but very glad for that. I have two fluval 3.0's and going into the app to 'reconnect' them every time there's a power outage gets old quick.

Great video Bob, so will this be your new Go to light? I don't have one of those yet so the Fluval 3.0 is still at the top of my list

I have two on the way. If I like them I may upgrade all my lights. Cool rock. Local to you? Nice edit showing comparisons. Useful info. If I like them I will use your link!

Idk the fluval with its sunrise/set modes and custom colors to play with is very tempting for the small price difference. The app is also nice when you’re on the couch and just wanna turn the tank on or off for a few minutes 😂

I love the long cord. Its always long enough.

Thanks for the review Steamfart aquatics I just bought one

Light looking awesome i agree aauaneat are not so great especially the freshwater light the marine led llight are pretty good but burn out easily i tried many lights but for now am sticking to harbor freight grow light much more affordable and pretty bright for my budget and my high light aquarium plants maybe someday i will try the high end led lights

Good comparison

This is great video Bob. I don’t think the Fluval light isn’t better than the AC light. The 36” Fluval light is very yellow toned. You can see it in your video. The Fluval light doesn’t have red leds, it has pink. If you look on the box of the AC light, the graph shows a lot of red. That’ll make a big difference in the colors of the fish and plants. The reds and purples of the Ludwigia arcuata will look orange and yellow. With the AC light, those plants were deep red. Another way to see the difference is with your Skull Creek Rainbowfish. I currently have a Chihiros WRGB II light on my Skull Creek Rainbowfish and their fins are have a deep red-orange coloration. When they were under a Fluval Plant 3.0, both the 36” and 48” versions, the fins were a light orange. The Fluval Plant 3.0 is very overrated and I hope the AC light shows that to more people. Now if Fluval makes a 4.0 version, and changes the pink leds for red ones, it would be an improvement. Currently though, it’s not worth the cost as I could get an AC light and kasa wifi timer for cheaper and have better colors in the fish and plants.

I wish Corey made a app for the light like fluval has. It’s amazing. But I understand why he didn’t.

These lights definitely rival Fluval with quite the savings! I used Bobs affiliate link and ordered more!!!

This makes me even more excited for my 48” light that should be here in a few days! Should go great on my 75

Nice comparison review Bob. Wondering though how it would compare to my Aquaneat RGB full spectrum lights. They're 4+ years old and still going strong but just about impossible to find now days.

I just picked up the 36inch

For the money of seems a pretty good product to me. Would have been cool of it had watercooling.

Can you use an inline timer with these like the Nicrew ones that plug in along the existing power cord or does it have to be one of the Wi-Fi outlet bricks? My number one pet peeve about lights is the giant plug in brick like we don’t all have them plugged into surge protectors. This looks nice, but that power brick is still huge. If I have to make it even bigger with a Wi-Fi outlet, that might be a dealbreaker.

Thanks Mr Steamyfarts love the review

Any idea what model LED it uses? What Kelvin temp rating? Looked white like 3500 but beamsworks looked even whiter so hard to tell on a phone.

So if a person uses a timer the Co-op light will remember what setting you have it on? Not like the Fluval where it reverts back to midnight

Actually the app and built in timer on the fluval has caused me problems. I got a brief power outage day 1 of a 10 day vacation. Coming back to a high tech tank that hasnt had light in 9 days is setting you up for a month or more of bringing the tank back to form

I love the extra long cord's better than being short

I got mine last nice. Super bright. The nighttime mode is nice. Lights up my entire 75 gallon planted tank, with about 30% of the top coated with floating plants.

The more competition the better for every fish enthusiast. Prices go down some, and quality goes up some.

Does it remember the last setting so i dont have to re-dim every timer cycle?

Have a question why does the co-op light make the sand more yellow looking than the beamswork 6500k. I personally have an Aqaneat light and it seems that the sand is whiter than Cory's light. Both of the other are no where in the same league as far as brightness and quality just curious why it has more of a yellow tint.

Coop light is for me.

Coop light better spread the fluval spot lighted of the substrate which I'm not a huge fan off visually but everyone preferences are different

Your speech patterns are so similar to Cory's it really a trip lol

Hello! What are those beautiful silver schooling fish called? : ) Thank you!

Does that Aquarium co-op light remember what setting if you’re using a timer?

Cheers

What filter was on the 40 breeder?

Going to buy when my current light stops working.

What are those fish called in the light comparison segment??

Those Aquarium Co-Op lights looks amazing!!

Finnex + 24/7. Better value, better look, more features, nice try Cory but I’ll stick with the cheaper better alternative.

I wanna test a light 👀🇺🇸💯

"it's a fishroom folks, not the Taj Mahal." 😂

zero problems with the fluval bluetooth

👍🏻👍🏻

I bought the cheap one that rhymes with Mountain Dew. I don't live in the US and can't buy the COOP light. It costs twice as much but has more than double the number of LEDs (255 to around 105) and a 3-year warranty so you are getting stuff for that extra money. If the cheap one dies after a year you would have been better off with the COOP light.... unless you didn't have $130. My $50 cheapo is only a few months old but works great so far, and it did spend at least ten minutes underwater and still works fine (after drying out). The COOP lights splits the price difference between the premium expensive lights like Fluval and the cheap ones, so now we have more choices. Value is a subjective concept and depends on the individual user, so people need to chill and watch their fish rather than go off on some rant about which light is best. Cheers for showing us what is out there so we can make up our own mind.

It's nice having mechanical buttons over some stupid phone app for sure- I just can't justify spending the money Cory wants for those lights... warranty or not they're still leds that will dim after a few months and start burning out over time. I'll stick with my T5 grow lights instead.

I love the coop but for what I do a light is a light.

Too expensive for me.

Why isn't Hygger compared also?

I mean you could say it's the Taj mahal. Just the behind it

Hard to beat the Fluval 3.0. I do not think the price difference is big enough to get the co-op lights. I would rather just get the nicrew.

Compare it to Chihiros 😁

I've never heard anyone gripe about too much cord.

I 100% disagree with what you say about par. Par is one of the most important inputs in a grow. Color dont matter as much to plants but par is super important. Dam led flood lights can grow awesome plants because they put out great par.

LOL the aquaneat doesn't look that bad

Hygger?

Thank you. Aquarium lights have become unbelievably complicated these days. The co op looks more user friendly and reliable.

Its soo yellow :/

soooo i guess youtube is sponsoring the coop now? why put their logo on the box?
