Setup & Care Pro-Tips

1. Mounting: Slide the metal brackets into the sides of the light fixture. Rest the white plastic clips directly onto the side rims of your 20cm aquarium glass.

2. Lighting Schedule: To prevent excessive algae growth, we recommend running this bright light on a daily timer for 6 to 8 hours, depending on the density of your live plants.

3. Safety: While IPX4 rated for splash resistance, the main lighting unit and the power switch box must never be fully submerged in water.
