1- LED 72" 0 50W 6500K 168X LED Aquarium Light Lumen Freshwater Plant Tropical Fish | eBay

2- 72" Quad Aquarium T5 HO Light 80W x4 Coral Fish LED New | eBay

3- Current USA 48"-60" Satellite Freshwater LED Plus Aquarium Light w/Wireless RGB Remote

4- or just some T5 lighting

Thanks for your help

The only issue I've had is the remote will not perform differnt tasks as fast as you'd like. I really only messed with it the first week. I picked a nice setting and haven't touched it in months. My digital timer tells it what to do! It looks great and grows plants like a champ so.i couldn't be happier with $90 light:)

Mine is the 36" model.. it's just a woods digital timer. The light has all the differnt setting baked in. You could get the ramp timer for simulated sunrise/set.
