My aquariums get only natural indirect sunlight coming from the window. 

Here you can see my 29 gallon tank in the middle of the day. 

It is my largest self-feeding sustainable aquarium with land plants growing on the top. 

Every month or so I remove about half of fast growing aquatic plants from my aquariums. 

I use it for making fish food flakes. 

I would not argue that the aquarium looks dark without additional light :) 

Though, all my aquariums have been doing very well with this natural light only for decades. 

May 18th, 2024 

I got a hygger full spectrum LED light to check if it would make any difference for my aquarium. 

The 22 watt HG089 model comes packed with a long list of features. 

I pick it for the size suitable for my aquarium to start with. 

There are variations of HG089 with different power and number of LEDs suitable for different tanks.

 Most interestingly, all HG089 models have removable brackets.

 Adjustable and removable brackets make it super easy to fit the way I want it!

 Read the manual. 

I posted the manual on my blogpost (link in the description to the video). 

The HG089 LED light is waterproofed. 

Attaching and adjusting brackets could not be simpler than that :) 

It fits different-sized aquariums - I love it! 

10 lighting color modes. 

6, 8 and 12 hours timer modes. 

There are 20 brightness levels. 

I am very interested in trying the 24/7 natural lighting mode. 

DIY mode for adjusting brightness and RGB colors in full spectrum.

 The full spectrum makes it suitable for aquatic and land plants in my tank. 

Just for the record - I have a 30inch long aquarium. 

I want to place the LED light on the top of the cover. 

And...let's turn it ON. 

Ta-dam! Beautiful!!

 I've never seen my land moss so pretty! 

The brackets are supposed to be turned the other way for hanging the LED on an aquarium without cover. 

It takes seconds to adjust the brackets. 

I want to move the LED light to the back of the tank. 

That is where plants need light the most. 

This HG089 22 watt LED is 22inch long without the brackets. 

Now I can open the front part of the cover for easy access inside without moving the light. 

The land platform serves for growing land plants and culturing live food for my fish. 

I am going to make another video to explain more about this land platform. 

Right now I have 3 different types of land mosses growing here. 

I cleared up the back part of the platform to allow light from the LED to shine through into the tank.

 That's how it all looks like with LED lights ON. 

Everything looks so much better with LED lights :)

 The same aquarium without LED lights looks dull in comparison.

 Among all RGB and DIY modes I am personally interested in 24/7 mode imitating the natural daylight cycle.

 So, the next morning I turned on the 24/7 mode starting at 6am.

 I will make a time-lapse video to show it.

The hygger HG089 LED works very well!

Have fun and happy aquariums :)
