Aquarium lighting is an important piece of fish tank equipment that should not be skimped on when it comes to providing enough light for fish, live plants, live rocks, corals and everything else living in your tank.
Questions from fish tank owners on lighting range from, which aquarium lighting is best for plants, will LED aquarium lights grow plants, what kind of lighting do I need for just fish, what aquarium lighting for saltwater or what aquarium lights for corals and so on.
On this page I will do my best to provide you with great options for all of those lighting questions plus more. The answer to most of those questions yes LED lighting works great on pretty much any tank.
The size and type of lighting you will need all depends on how big your aquarium is and what you have in the tank. So let’s get started. I will link to each light in the light name and picture if possible so you can conveniently go check them out on Amazon after reading my info on the light.

One con about this light is that some customers have reported that if they have problems with the light after a lengthy amount of time the customer service is not the greatest. On the other hand I have read that some customers rave about how awesome the customer service is. I imagine that when a company is selling thousands upon thousands of lights it is not easy to make everyone happy.
