It's more of a comparison video, where I turn the Finnex Monster Ray light on and off, so that you can see the difference in colors.
I s'pose I could do a written review on here, and just have the video as a "bonus" hahaha...
The Finnex Monster Ray LED light, is known for its color enhancing features that bring out the colors of your fish and plants. There's a huge bump in colors, specifically reds, greenns, and blues (even yellows!). I have noticed, however, that there are some shades of "green" that don't really "pop out", this is the darker green, anything that's dark green (such as pelia, or subwassertang) ends up looking even darker, for some odd reason. However, that doesn't really deter me from this light.
The LEDs are composed of three different colors, Red, Blue, and Green, which is why it prominently enhances those colors in your tank. Neon Tetras are a great example to see the difference, as you can see in the video I created.
Now, one "drawback" I have with this light, is that it doesn't do really well with growing plants, unless they're REALLY low light plants. But the great thing about LED lights is that they're so compact, you can mix and match/add additional light fixtures to really take advantage of LED technology.
With a Monster Ray + Fuge Ray, you'll be good to go for planted tanks with the color enhancing benefits.
With a Monster Ray + Ray 2, you'll be just as good, but this is meant for taller tanks, shallower tanks should stick with the Fuge Ray, unless you want to deal with algae problems.
Witha Monster Ray + Fuge Ray Planted Plus, you'll get the best of both worlds. The color enhancing benefits from the monster ray, and red/blue/white LEDs from the Fuge Ray Planted Plus!
I would give this light a 10/10, simply because all the other LED lights I've tried just don't cut it, even though they "claim" to enhance colors... Price-wise, it is a bit pricey, BUT...it will definitely save you money in the long run. You'll never have to buy replacement bulbs, and your electricity bills will definitely be lower in the long run, it basically pays itself off within a couple years.
And now, the video!!!
