To say I’ve enjoyed your in depth evaluations of the Fluval lights, is an understatement. The analysis you provide, showing the benefits is invaluable! It takes the Fluval Plant 3.0, and the Aquasky, from a simply auto-mode light, to plant growing tools. Nobody does the in depth studies that you are known for. Thank you, again, my friend, for sharing your knowledge with those of us in the hobby! ❤️

Finally some good help to the confusing app. I like to see how to add a thunderstorm in

Just bought a 200litre tank which came with this light. I'm still relatively new to the hobby and was clueless. You're videos have been so helpful!! I'm now confident that I can use it effectively 😊

Phil here is the UK. Your videos have really helped me get my head around all the aquasky modes. Thanks buddy and keep up the great work. 👍

A fantastic in depth guide to the Aquasky, I watched all 3 episodes and it really helped show me how I should proceed to change the lights to suit my tanks. Thanks!

Great series! Worth watching just for the wi-fi plug tip alone... will be setting this up for when I'm on vacation!

Thanks dude, great video

Thank you so much for these videos! I was struggling to find the correct values for my Flex 32 and these did the trick (used the Shallow Summer as suggested in the comments).

I bought the fluval aquasky 3.0 after watching your channel reviews. I was able to jump straight in with using it. It’s like having a patch of sunlight on my tank in my house. The plants have become very lush, and it’s easier on my fish (they aren’t startled). It’s well worth the expense

Made the switch with my Fluval Plant 3.0 and the Aquasky and man am I glad I did! As always, great advice, Bentley!! My Java ferns are much happier already with the lower light of the Aquasky!

Past 7 months with this light...After a week of Auto I jumped straight in with Pro mode.... My personal verdict... A very accomplished product... Not perfect.. But as part of a Roma tank/cabinet set its great value here in the UK.... 👍🏻

Great work Bentley, I've already shared your you tube Aquasky tutorials with colleagues on fb groups. You've helped me set up my light and select some cool plants, just waiting to get them in my tank 😎

I've been liking my Aquasky so far. I purchased it after seeing the first review you did. I was worried about the warm yellow tone to the light at first, but it's really grown on me. My diamond tetras get this fantastic coppery golden sheen under it. They looked rather washed out under the old light which had a cooler tone.

You have the best videos on this topic thanks for your help

Great videos on this light. Really appreciate the knowledge you bring. Take care!!

Hi Bentley, Thank you so much for the information you post. I have Juwel's HeliaLux Spectrum led light with SmartControl on Juwel Vision 180, which has similar strength to Fluval's Plant 3.0 LED but uses only white, green, red and blue, which Fluval Aquasky uses. so now i'll try your shallow summer settings for a while.

If you're prone to power outages, I'd suggest a UPS so that you don't lose your settings (and be sure to save them so they are easy to export back to the light) and plug other important equipment into the UPS as well. Note I don't have any of this stuff, but from these videos there should be no need to lose your settings with the save feature.

Nice in depth of the aqua sky lights. Well done

Great information, as always. Thanks!

just bought one of these when out looking for a replacement t5. Of coarse the LFS didn't have "replacement bulbs". But this is definitely worth the money. And I like it better than my older, WAY MORE expensive Current USA light. also just sub'd your channel

Got the little 12watt for my 5gal today. I think I like it.

Awesome video Bentley! I just stocked a megaflex pretty heavy with crypts and Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini', I'm not trying for a carpet or anything, but I'm interested to see how the althernathera goes with the light!

Once again thank you Bentley, i will run my aquasky in auto mode but it is handy to know what the pro mode can do.

Love the light…but, it could use 10-20’ more Bluetooth range or even wifi…which (WiFi) would also fix the time memory issue.

I like your wifi timer idea but if you can afford it get a computer battery backup system I have one and it works great plus during long power outages you can run air pumps too with everything plugged into it on my 40 breeder I get around 6 hours of battery backup two fluval lights 1 aqua sky and 1 plant 2 hob and 1 dual output air pump

Voy a probar esa configuración con mi pantalla. (Me dan miedo las algas 😅)

I just replaced my original aquasky with this one. I have a Juwel Rio 180, and used the aquasky to upgrade from Fluoro tubes. I am liking the increased control over the light level great and love the simulated day. I do find the light too bright at 100%. What light settings would you suggest for low light plants (just Java fern atm), clown loaches, boesmani rainbows and bristlenose?

Thanks for part 3! Can you put a affiliate link to the 12w version? Amazon does not include the 15"~24" model in your link.

Hi Bentley! I added a second Aquasky light to the mega flex tank and decided to try the shallow summer settings for that tank. With the second light, of course, the tank is significantly brighter doing the shallow settings on both light bars. Do you recommend I lower each shallow summer intensity in half on each Aquasky? I’ve heard that brightness doesn’t necessarily correlate with the needed lighting parameters the plants may require.

Excellent video - thanks so much for the in-depth review. I've just set this light up in a fairly new 20g L tank (~1 month) and have run into some crazy green hair algae issues. I was first using the auto settings and then the settings recommended by Fluval themselves, but neither seem to be right. The Fluval settings are very red! FYI - I'm planted with anubias, java fern, crypts, bacopa, and dwarf sag. Do you have any specific recommendations, or should I go with your Shallow Summer settings? My only concern was that the duration was too long but it sounds like maybe you've accounted for this with the intensities.

Does anyone having pro Setup lights for Malawi Cichlids would like to share. I appreciate that 🙏

hi loved these vids i have a fluval roma 200L and ive just changed my settings to urs im hoping i will start seeing my plants grow they are healthy but dont seem to be growing anymore so im hoping this will help. Also i cant seem to keep moss ive tried a few diffent types but after roughly 2 moths they go brown i use a bit of glue to put them on drifwood i dose daily fert and liquid C02 would it be lights? againg loved these vids thank u

Hi! I'm a little late in the game ahaha but if you have the time i have a question for my brand new sky light! Just bought them today (one for a 20 long and one for a 15g) My lights are not directly over the tanks, i placed it on a 'racking' that i made with metal shelves holders at about a feet over water level. I had the regular nicrew DEL light and i've been stuggeling with algea for the past 4 years (yes i know... i should have bought good lights before) So i placed my settings as you suggested for the shallow ones but +10% on each to compensate for the distance air/water, do you think this will give me a good start or should i go at 'full' power like a bigger tank because of the distance? Thank you so much for this serie of videos, there is just so much to learn with for our little water babies!

Bentley, I have the 3.0 on a 55 without c02. I've noticed on a number of vids, many people will hang their lights vs. setting it right on the aquarium. Other than dimming it, is there any other reason for hanging it? I just dont' seem to get the growth I want from my plants

I was told this Aquasky is a good light for a FOWLR tank. It’s marine fish and just live rock with no corals. Would this be a nice light for my saltwater 36 gallon tank I’m litterly putting together?

So I got one about a month ago and am getting acclimated to the settings. With the Pro mode, how would you work in the moon lighting/night mode? I have a 29 gal tall. I already have some fish and plants in it

thoughts on no CO2 settings for Fluval 32 flex

💯👍👍

5-6 bps for how many hours per day.

When i watch KZfaq videos of the most elite planted tanks i never see them using Fluval lights. Is there that much of a difference between fluval and chihiros, ada, twinstar etc????

wifi timer 15 bucks please people ten years ago we were dreaming about this stuff.
