I hope one day I could visit Green Aqua and personally thanks Balázs, Tamás, Viktor, Atilla and all the Green Aqua staff for the positive impact this channel (and aquascaping) has been making in my life since 2020. Cheers from this brazillian supporter of yours (Professor Klebber).
A few weeks ago I bought two twinstar B line 30 lights for my Fluval 57L aquarium. I didn't want to spend a huge amount of money as it is my first scape,but I knew the light I was using before wasn't really good. Good soil, good fertilizer, good flow and CO2 on a good level but still not really good growth. But now after a few weeks of new lightning the aquarium exploded with growth and the plants pairl like crazy. 1 light wasn't enough but a pair of them does it really well and is still cheap compared to other lights.
hi tommy, for chihiros there is an option on the light intensity right? so how many percent recommended/suitable light intesity with 6500k temperature should i set or maintain daily. tq
100% Red 60% Green 90% Blue You can check out my Instagram to see the effect it has on my Iwagumi tank as compared to the default setting used in my setup video on my RUclips channel.

The aquarium lighting systems have evolved a lot, most of the lights that you presented are unfortunately not available in my country, BUT a couple of the really high end are available for import but then they get quite pricy. And as always great information thank you! 😃
The best explanation I've ever heard. Thanks a lot for this. Now, I know which level is my lights. I have a Twinstar C II Line and ONF Flat Nano. Those are entry level lights, but I'm very happy and plants grow well. Cheers pal. Looking forward to the next episode.
thanks guys for this! Could you please address how to properly adjust the co2 levels in relation to the light power in one of your next video?thanks again.
Çok açıklayıcı ve gercekten çok değerli bilgi dolu bir sunum olmuş bunun için çok teşekkür ederim. Ve ayrıca altyazı seçeneğine tüm dilleri ekleme inceliğinde bulunduğunuz içinde çok teşekkür ederim 👏👍
Thanks for your words. Especially in these critical times, aquascaping hobby is a blessing. Heal our minds and soul I believe. Helps you to focus on other things.
This was such a great help, i have my first tank and the pet store upsold me the Chihiros A series over the Aqua One version and this video has made me fully comfortable with spending that little extra money.
Tommy the magician🤣💡 Lighting is always an interesting subject! Right now, I'm using very budget and cost-effective lighting. They work okay on my low tech simple planted tanks!! I'm striving for a high-tech "Green Aqua" tank someday😁 and the ability to grow some more specialized and carpeting plants!!👍💚 Great points to consider!! Thank you for explaining lumens and LEDs. The ones I use right now, I get off of Amazon they run 1700 lumens and 6500 Kelvin they do have adjustable red, blue and white lights. But they're very cheap and I know they're not going to last long!! Thanks for taking the time to explain all the individual lights and their features and who manufactures them!! The ADA and Twin Star lights are some I've been considering 👍 Great video and great information Tommy!! Thank you again for sharing with us!! I hope you guys have a very blessed and beautiful day! 👍🌿🐟🌿💚

Just want to say that this is really a helpful video especially for people like me who thinks "as long as its bright, it should be fine". It gives good insights on how to choose a light without going really microscopic on the topic. I dont get why other people cry in the comments because a certain topic about the lights are not discussed elaborately knowing that there are a lot of details and intricacies to this. A good recommendation for a more specific topic for a future video is good, but some of the comments here are plain rude. I mean dont expect that all questions about aquarium lights can be answered in one video. Thats not possible. Keep it up Green Aqua!
Здравствуйте. Только сейчас посмотрел это видео. Спасибо Вам большое за то что Вы делитесь своим опытом!!! Это действительно очень круто!!! Удачи Вам 👍👍👍
Thanks for the nice video! For home tanks, do we need to cover the aquarium when the light is already off, but the light in my house is still on? And also when it's already morning when I open the curtain at home. Thanks!
the best lights i have used are the Radion XR15 G5 Freshwater lights. I have tried a ton of different lights but those have been my favorite. my second would be the kessil A160WE Tuna Sun.
Great topic Tommy, to a new comer to this hobby I found it most useful so a big thank you. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K. stay safe and well everyone.
Such a nice video. And what beautiful tanks. I had my first aquaria about 30 years ago and had paused this activity for the last 10 years. It's mind-blowing how these things have been evolving! I understand that this is basic info, but very useful for an old man like me. Thanks!
Super glad I watched this. I bought a Twinstar 30B thinking about the size and not the wattage. I spent up for a nice c02 setup so might as well spend for the 300E III. Thanks! You guys saved my first build from having sad plants.
Thanks for video. Very helpful for me, becouse i will soon make a new akva tank with many of plants, this help me choose the right one. Little correction : 14:28 ,, Twinstar B line is NOT white LED, its described like RGB LED (i have one :-), actualy its WRGB - it have white leds too (some of lights are WRB - white, red, blue, some RGB - without white, some WRG - white, red, green) but its true, you cannot set individual color channels on Twinstar Line B. Iam from Czech republic but i hope, that I will look at your store in person. Hopefully in the summer I will find some time for a little motorcycle ride. I really admire your work and you are a great inspiration and helper for me. Thanks for that.
Brilliant video!!! When I was starting out, I did a lot of research but still made the mistake of assuming, the more you spent, the better the outcome would be; which I guess to some degree is true, I just wish this video had been around then, I could have saved a small fortune and arguably got the same results
Yup the goal with the videos to educate viewers on some practical ways. We've been there too. And lost decent money as well. Unfortunately back then there was not any info out there which would have helped us.
Great video as usual!! I use Chihiros cIi RGB well planted 30L tank and 8 hours with 30 min Ramp, would be about 7:30 or better to put 7 hours ramp included? And with CO2 inyection, at what time ON/OFF? Thanks legends!!!
I have the uns 90 u (35 l /22w/22h 68 gallons) so what size the platone light can be best for my new planted aquarium buddy. ? Thanks up front. Your answer advice would help a lot for beginners like me
Hi Tommy... The video is amazing... I have a question...what light setting do you recommend for a new tank ... I have light Chichiros Wrgb 2... 60 Thanks
I recommend seeing with your own eyes. I visited Budapest at GreenAqua. Optiwhite glasses and lights really made a great wow effect. It was like seeing a fairy tale.
@@GreenAquaShop obviously there are disagreeing opinions everywhere, but I would argue that asking your wallet is good advice. If you can afford to spend hundreds on a light, then that’s a good route to go. You are sure to get great results.. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get amazing results from $25 worth of LED flood lights. Pretty sure MD doesn’t spend much on lighting and has some of the nicest tanks I’ve seen. The best part of a hobby is how many different ways you can do the same thing.
The point of the video was to bring closer the reality with these lights. Would be great to have a universal marking on the lights so we can compare them better. But there aren't any. So you may buy something which will never work with your 60-80cm deep tank for example.
Thank you for the informative comparison. You stated that you run your lights at 100% from the beginning. It looks as your lights are also hung high above your scapes. Could you share your PAR levels? Thank you!
Hi, my tank is a 80x30x35, i have a chihiros wrgb 2 slim60 (around 27lm x litres), i was thinking to upgrade the light to a WRGB2 Pro80 (98lm x litres, i can dim it to a 80% to achieve an 70-80lm x litres), i inject co2 and have red stem plant based tank, do you think that the light will be overkill and maybe its better to buy a WRGB2 60 (78lm x litres at 100%), or should i go for it? Thanks
When I bought dymax iq9 dropoff tank, it comes with dymax spacex. Iam not to sure about that space X light by dymax but they said is a high end side but I still don't like it. Luckily the manager said I can swap with another light which is similar values. So i choose wrgb Vivid 2 slim. Is wrgb vivid 2 slim studio light is on Spacial high end site or basic? My fish and plants colour were all pop out n I love it. Can i know about what's my wrgb Vivid 2 slim studio? Thanks 😊
Thanks ! Great video again, and it helps a lot ! I just have a concern, as many led light are really powerful, I was wondering if you are using every light at 100% of their power no matter the tank, or if you adjust the maximum accordingly to the category of plants you are using ?
3-4-21, Tamas very very educational video. I now have a much better understanding of the intricacies of aquarium lighting. I am always looking for ways to make my plants grow better and show off their color. Thank you. This is why I love Green Aqua. William, PS I am glad Balazs was not in the video! Only Kidding.
Best video so far not biased on any name in particular just facts and useful information and tips. I think I’m going to buy the Chihiros WRGB II LED (Built-in Bluetooth) WRGBII 120 since I have a 60 gallon tank. Can this work on a rimmed tank?
this may be a dumb Quistons i typically control mine by Smart plugs because I'm away a lot of times but anyway can you get that to White and just have it go on and off like normal or when the smart plug goes off it changes color?
Please recomond us some home lights wich can be used in aquariums.. because the lights you have showed here are not available in my country.. we have to go for other options like flood lights.. i have 180×60×60cm planted tank.. pls give me some advice
Hello from Spain! First of all I really love your videos, I see them all and I find them really useful. I have a question for you just in case you can help me. I work in the morning so I arrive home at 15:00, I would like to enjoy my aquarium from 15 to 22 for example and here comes my problem. I have a pretty lightened dining room, even if the sun doesn’t hit directly the aquarium, the room is quite bright... my question is: would it be a problem to keep off the lights until 15:00 even if there is a bit of light in the room from 8:00 to that moment? Would it cause an algae problem or an stressed plants issue? Thank you very much! Keep doing these wonderful videos!
Hello from the Cayman Islands, I would like to know how many Chihiros RGB VIVID II 10th Edition LED Lights you would use to light my heavily planted (co2) my 180x60x60 tank - are 2 lights enough?
If i want the light to slowly fade on (when turned on) and fade off (when turned off), that is depend on the light or should I look for a some sort of controller adapter?
Great video! There is a manufacturer called Micmol that would be interesting to here your thoughts on. Also it would be interesting to here your thouths on bars vs spots like twinstar s vs something like kessil.
I would say yes, but if you go for some delicate color variations which is a signature of the real dutch tanks, I would check out other options. For a dutch tank probably the ONF Flat One + fits better.
@@GreenAquaShop but, onf not available in indonesia, there only chihiros wrgb 2, vivid, ada solar, twinstar 600s. I would build a 60p dutch style tank😁, so for the price to performance is wrgb2 right ? By the way, green aqua doesn't want buildna dutch style tank?
VIVID lights will not bring out the real beauty of dutch tanks. The greens look universal and almost everything else is red. No transition there like nice orange etc. But if this is not an important factor the wrgb2 is good.
@@GreenAquaShop Is the ONF Flat one the only brand to bring out delicate color variations or are other lights within the higher price range able to bring out these delicate color variations aswell. Like the chihiros vivid or the twinstar S.
I know that you guys cant possibly cover, or expect to stock every light in the market, but i bought a Finnex 24/7 Planted light for 2 different tanks, and they work absolutely wonderfully. I have had 4 different scapes under them, all 4 flourished, 3 of which were no co2 injection, one of my current scapes is being injected with co2. This light cost me around $85 dollars at the time, i think they have come up in price to around $100, but i would pay that again if i were to setup another tank. The 24 hour cycle is fully adjustable, i run about 12 hours on, with the first 2 or three hours as a gradual ramp up to 10 o'clock when the light is on full power, then around 3 it begins to ramp back down. In the evening it sits at avery low "Moon light setting". Morning starts at 6 am, with a nice redish "Sunrise color". RGB, and the 24 hour cycle is adjusted via a remote. I wish that they had an app controlled one, but i am fine with the remotes. Just one that i think deserves a bit of praise as i have been running mine for about 2 years now, and it is quite impressive still when i watch the preview of my 24 hour cycle how well it controls the lighting, and then when it is on at MAX its stunningly bright. My one real complaint with it would be that the remote has to be pointed DIRECTLY at the sensor which if your sitting in front of the tank making time and lighting adjustments can be a bit finicky but i have found once you get past this, the light is phenomenal. If in the next 3 to 5 years it dies, i will certainly be ordering a new one. Just something to consider.
@@GreenAquaShop Definitely, it never ends. I've purchased few months ago Twinstar 450E, for my 45 cm tank. But before making hardscape. Now, when the hardscape is done i liked it the most when i have roots going out of the tank. So i would like to have a hanging lamp instead:( and i even haven't flooded the tank yet:(...damn:(
I hope one day I could visit Green Aqua and personally thanks Balázs, Tamás, Viktor, Atilla and all the Green Aqua staff for the positive impact this channel (and aquascaping) has been making in my life since 2020.

I prefer 100% red 45% green 55% blue. The green is pretty strong so it's a balancing act.
I do red 100% blue 0% warm/cool/pure white 75%
I prefer their bauce settings or whatever they call it. My plants love it too:) I run it for 12h :)

How To Choose The PERFECT LIGHTING For Your Planted Aquarium? .... ask your wallet..

I work in the morning so I arrive home at 15:00, I would like to enjoy my aquarium from 15 to 22 for example and here comes my problem. I have a pretty lightened dining room, even if the sun doesn’t hit directly the aquarium, the room is quite bright... my question is: would it be a problem to keep off the lights until 15:00 even if there is a bit of light in the room from 8:00 to that moment? Would it cause an algae problem or an stressed plants issue? Thank you very much! Keep doing these wonderful videos!
@greenaqua I was wondering this myself as wel. Will you be able to answer?
At home, most of us start the aquarium lights from 3-4 pm as we spend more time in the evenings, nights at home. No prob with that
Hello from the Cayman Islands, I would like to know how many Chihiros RGB VIVID II 10th Edition LED Lights you would use to light my heavily planted (co2) my 180x60x60 tank - are 2 lights enough?
Hi, I have a 120P tank, and I want to know is possible to use the Chihiros WRGB 90cm for it? Thank you.
If i want the light to slowly fade on (when turned on) and fade off (when turned off), that is depend on the light or should I look for a some sort of controller adapter?
Hi from Canada, Well, you made me spend this morning. For my 120 cm long x 60 cm deep, I just ordered a Chihiros WRGB. 😀
Tell us later how that works for you 👍
I live in Winnipeg and am interested in ordering a chihiros in the next 2 weeks,where did u order from?
Amazing video. Can I use chihiros wrgb In my rio juwel 350 for strong hard plants such rotala macandra or carpet ?
Yes, you could, probably, depending on the size of the light.
Would you recommend the ONF nano or twin star series E for a UNS 30C?
Sure why not?
Great video! There is a manufacturer called Micmol that would be interesting to here your thoughts on. Also it would be interesting to here your thouths on bars vs spots like twinstar s vs something like kessil.
Hello, I loved this vid, learn a lot.
Would Chihiros LED C serie C301 14W be OK for a 30l cube with not-so-demanding plants (without CO2)?
Keep going green aqua! We love your work
Thanks so much 👍
Is chihiros wrgb 2 perfect for dutch style ?
I would say yes, but if you go for some delicate color variations which is a signature of the real dutch tanks, I would check out other options. For a dutch tank probably the ONF Flat One + fits better.
@@GreenAquaShop but, onf not available in indonesia, there only chihiros wrgb 2, vivid, ada solar, twinstar 600s. I would build a 60p dutch style tank😁, so for the price to performance is wrgb2 right ?
By the way, green aqua doesn't want buildna dutch style tank?
VIVID lights will not bring out the real beauty of dutch tanks. The greens look universal and almost everything else is red. No transition there like nice orange etc. But if this is not an important factor the wrgb2 is good.
@@GreenAquaShop Is the ONF Flat one the only brand to bring out delicate color variations or are other lights within the higher price range able to bring out these delicate color variations aswell. Like the chihiros vivid or the twinstar S.
hey guys, may i ask you about the height above the water surface you would hang the Chihiros rgb vivid 2 on a high tech 120/50/50 setup?
Is chihiros wrgb 60 is a good light will it produce red plants
Hello! For a 30 cube Utricularia iwagumi, a Twinstar B should be enough? Or better a Chihiros A301?
What settings do you run on the vivid 2?
I think we do not have a preference. But this is a good subject for another video 👍
I know that you guys cant possibly cover, or expect to stock every light in the market, but i bought a Finnex 24/7 Planted light for 2 different tanks, and they work absolutely wonderfully. I have had 4 different scapes under them, all 4 flourished, 3 of which were no co2 injection, one of my current scapes is being injected with co2. This light cost me around $85 dollars at the time, i think they have come up in price to around $100, but i would pay that again if i were to setup another tank. The 24 hour cycle is fully adjustable, i run about 12 hours on, with the first 2 or three hours as a gradual ramp up to 10 o'clock when the light is on full power, then around 3 it begins to ramp back down. In the evening it sits at avery low "Moon light setting". Morning starts at 6 am, with a nice redish "Sunrise color". RGB, and the 24 hour cycle is adjusted via a remote. I wish that they had an app controlled one, but i am fine with the remotes.
Just one that i think deserves a bit of praise as i have been running mine for about 2 years now, and it is quite impressive still when i watch the preview of my 24 hour cycle how well it controls the lighting, and then when it is on at MAX its stunningly bright.
My one real complaint with it would be that the remote has to be pointed DIRECTLY at the sensor which if your sitting in front of the tank making time and lighting adjustments can be a bit finicky but i have found once you get past this, the light is phenomenal. If in the next 3 to 5 years it dies, i will certainly be ordering a new one.
Just something to consider.
You are the best guys! :)
Thanks Lukasz, wish we could show more in the vid. Too short. BTW Hyperspot and WRGB II slim just arrived... seems like this story never ends :)
@@GreenAquaShop Definitely, it never ends. I've purchased few months ago Twinstar 450E, for my 45 cm tank. But before making hardscape. Now, when the hardscape is done i liked it the most when i have roots going out of the tank. So i would like to have a hanging lamp instead:( and i even haven't flooded the tank yet:(...damn:(
Is the Chihiros WRGB II Slim good for 60P high tech aquarium?
On a 45p would you rather use a twinstar e v3 or an Chihiros wrgb2? ;)
If dimming is important i would go with Chihiros. The rest is just color preference
Chihiros all the way. I use them for my Tillandsias too
Hello, should we turn on light for continuous period or can we do 1 hour on, 1 hour off and cycle to get 6-8 hours in total thorough out the day?
