This light is for a Marine (Saltwater) setup. TrueLumen makes a freshwater LED light also, just check out their website for the details!

yes it would give your tank a nice shimmer effect whether you use it for fresh or saltwater

Yes no problem. Better use in fresh then salt. Will promote plant growth but not for any use in live corals
744481
Yes but I would not it has blue LEDs that are for coral. I would recommend pure white in the 65,000-10,000 k range

I have had saltwater aquariums for over 30 years and am not familiar with freshwater lighting requirements, but I can't imagine why it would not be ideal. My LED TrueLumen fixture has performed great, perfect light color and intensity, they have different light colors to select from and I have had no algae growth or heat. It is so thin, the mounting is fantastic. I would not have anything else now.

Yes absolutely. Since the led light stick is not submersible it can light either fresh water as well as marine. For planted aquariums I find that just one stick/strip supplies more than enough light to keep hardy green plants healthy and happy. I love this light!

I have it in my African Cichlid tank and it works great!! My fish are fresh water fish. I it is good to provide some sort of water movement for your fish.

Yes it can be used inside the tank as long as the outflow opening is slightly above the water line

Yes it can .. However.. U must start the unit off by using fresh water ... If u run nutes for yr plants thru the unit at any time u can Contaminate fresh drinking water .. My best suggestion is if u do deside to run nutes and use for fresh drinking water run a soft batch of bleach thru it to clean it... Hope this helps Queponz

Yes, it is used for aquariums and fish ponds to keep the water clear and free of toxins. I do not think there is any information stating it is safe for use with humans, so assume it is not.

Yes! They are great in both fresh and salt tanks. I use mine in a fresh water tank and some in a fresh water pond too! Make sure you order a lot tho. Over 100 for a small wet dry filter. I ordered 50 and it was not close to enough! Needed about 200!

I didn't use it for an aquarium. Put it in canning jars and put candles on top of it.

So far as I know, yes. of course it can. Would Uniden offer a unit that could only be used on fresh water? Of course not as the majority of their sales are in coastal water areas.

I use it in fresh water and I would NOT suggest buying it. Runs like garbage, blue smoke appears and it's loud.JB

No, as long as you don't put a betta in that tank. Bettas require still water or extremely light current and this one is way too powerful.

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.

It would have to be a pretty huge aquarium. There are probably cheaper alternatives more suited for aquariums. This is a whole house unit. Installing it would probably take avery experienced aquarium tech and/ or a plumber

No, this is for aquarium filtration, although if you had enough stages it would filter water. This filter media is very porous for bacteria cultures to live in to enhance aquarium filtration.

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).

I talked to aquarium owners and store owners alike and for betts as long as you can clean it once a week or so its perfectly fine. I have hung it underneath a recessed light which generates enough heat to keep it warm, but this may not work for all situations. There is no filtration, but if you wanted to get creative im sure there is a way, but they live in those tiny jars for most of their early lives so its definetely an upgrade from that

yes you can, however most salt water enthusiasts prefer a much bigger filter, and often a sump below or next to the tank to increase biological filtration. Salt environments are more difficult to keep everything at levels the creatures can tolerate and thrive in.
