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!

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.

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!!!!

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!

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!

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.
