[@sail3303]

Gosh, this sure would have been good info when first buying and starting with the Fluval light!!! This should be mandatory viewing! LOL!

[@theknittingrev]

I've had this light for a year and have been so overwhelmed. I don't know how I didn't find this series sooner, but I am so glad I found it now!

[@aquatichighs]

After a year I’m coming back to refresh my knowledge. Thank you Bentley.

[@aziemkamal8129]

You've made this video before and I followed your tips and settings and my plants went crazy! I also have a pressurized CO2 system. Once I got the balance right between the CO2, light, and fertilizer, everything grew like crazy! I would highly recommend this light to anybody!

[@mk_cichlids]

Glad your doing multiple parts here, I always wonder how other people use their 3.0 settings because there are so many options.

[@Rlk-l9x]

This is the most informative video I’ve seen. I’ve have 2 on a 75 gallon for 1.5 yrs and had NO IDEA blue causes BBA and I’m inundated with it. Do I have blue? YUP and LOTS of it. I just removed or seriously reduced blue. I can’t wait to see part 2!! You’ve taught me so much. Can you address tall tanks? I’m setting up a 3’ tall tank with plants. Thanks. 👍☺️

[@gambiarran419]

Just a quick point to add to part 2 Bentley, be sure to tell new viewers that you are a master horticulturist, as many people are also throwing out videos on this light and people may not know the level of experience and expertise that you are bringing too the table. Also I am sure that adding a link to Aquarium coop page with the exact light on would help people avoid ordering the wrong lighting off eBay and Amazon. In either case looking forward to the next part and I would like too add I have learnt so much from your videos regarding aquatic plants. 10/10

[@MasterPhotographer]

This will be the light for my new 75 gallon, and this information is just what I needed! The insight into the blue spectrum is invaluable! Thank you for sharing with us all.

Bentley, you da man.. thank you. Finally getting my planted nano tank sorted and. Saying goodbye to the pesky algae.. had my settings way to high for a small tank.. thank you

[@KniteStarz]

You're seriously my hero.. for real. This is the best KZbin video for me that I've seen since one helped me fix my Saturn in 2010. Thank you! I had no clue what I was doing, first planted, low tech, 10 gallon Betta. I would have fried all my plants and had black algae everywhere within a week or two. I can't thank you enough. So well explained, with screenshots that even an idiot could save and follow. I've subscribed. Going to watch part 2 & 3 now!

[@Kataclysmic__]

Thank you SO MUCH for this series! I love my Fluval 3 but I’ve been struggling to find a balance of bright enough for my personal taste while not causing huge algae blooms. I didn’t realize increasing the intensity slowly would help discourage algae and I’m hoping this will be the key to solving my problem!

Did it work?

[@pedrolopez4555]

This is one of the best guides I have seen in a while! I wish I saw this before I started my first tank!

[@gregorypeck2763]

Thank you so much, I got my Fluval about 2 weeks ago and wish I had viewed your video before I plugged it in, now I have a serious algae & diatom bloom.

[@RyanPlate]

This three-part series on the exact light I own has been AMAZING! Wish I'd seen this sooner. I battle algae on a frequent basis, and I am hoping the tips about not only slowly increasing light intensity over time, but also limiting blue light, will help. I was a "more is better" kind of aquarist and am learning slowly about the finer things. Many thanks for spending the time to put this together in a great format!

Honestly man, I love it when youve covered a topic Im looking for. You tend to go into the details I am looking for. Thanks for this one!

[@johnC-q2l]

Great information. Having just set up a new planted tank I appreciated his recommendation of starting the light at 50% and slowly ramping up the light. That is something I had never thought of.Odds are you just saved me the headache of fighting algae in a new tank. Thank you so much for making this video.

Fantastic Fluval 3.0 course! Love it! Can’t wait for parts 2 & 3...first need to purchase more lights from the COOP!

[@alvinkappel9646]

If i don't have any fish or plants yet does it matter what my light setting are. I just didn't want alge to start growing.

[@sonoinpace]

I had to come back because I had no idea my blue was set so high. I haven’t been overrun with algae but I have been waging a deep state battle with random patches of hair algae on leaves and after a week you may have helped me with the war! Thanks for all the great information.

[@XxSwagGamersxX]

a few months ago I purchased this light and I kept having algae issues starting with diatoms then green hair algae and black algae and it’s been a struggle keeping it from killing my plants and now that I come across this video I lowered the lights from default to ur 25% preset and I’ll be sure to update progress in 2 weeks thanks for the amazing info

[@pobster88j94]

It’s a strong light for sure. I had it on planted setting at first and plants suffered without co2. I had algae and didn’t like the tint. I’ve since dialed it way back and cut warm white to zero. Seems okay so far.

[@XxSwagGamersxX]

@@pobster88j94 most of the black algae and hair algae is almost gone, I have 7 nerite snails and the most hated Chinese algae eater xD but hey without those algae eaters that helped me out so much more than the snails I wouldn’t hAve a tank, I was so close on giving up on the hobby but they brought me back but I have my lights at 30% right now

[@gk9417]

I have a 3.0 but how can you reset the light I have it programmed but I want to change to a different setting 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll try to find the manual lol ✌️🇨🇦

[@willparsons32]

It's now been almost a month since I've upgraded to CO² and I'm really starting to see the results. I increase my Fluval plant 3.0 light intensity by 1 - 2% every three or four days until I reach the maximum of 75% (as you suggested) while keeping the CO² at approx. 3 Bps. For the record, here are my color channels and percentages over the past week: -09/21- Pink -50 Blue -5 C.White - 62 P.White - 67 W.white - 56 ___________________ -09/24- Pink -52 Blue - 5 C.white - 64 P.white - 69 W.white - 57 I'm also aiming for the light to provide a maximum of eight hours however, this is getting a suddle transfer to a different "on/off" time period in the day. Everything will eventually begin at 11:15am (including the CO² injection.) The reason for the time shift is for two reasons. 1.. Allowing Water changes without removing the CO² within the water column. 2.. Providing admiration of the aquarium during the evening as well as keeping ambient light to a minimum.

[@philcam9493]

What levels to you recommend for a 10” deep nano with the fluval plant 3.0?

Thanks for doing this, I have one of these on my 40 gallon blue dream shrimp tank. It seems to grow my mosses and red tiger lotus extremely well. I got rid of all blue light, and fluctuate mine doing a dual peak type schedule topping out at 85% power with a rest period in between them where the tank gets a little sunlight through a window. I have had it on the tank since new about a year ago and have had very little algae growth and great plant growth. Cheers.

Great video but...having a bit of confusion. In the auto settings I followed your video and "Saved As" New Tank, I "Saved As" After Two Weeks and so on so it would be easy to get back to these settings and follow your recommended timeline for settings to make it easy. Only thing I'm having trouble with is how to load those auto setting that I saved. Seems to me that if there is a "Save As" I would be able to recall them.

[@willparsons32]

At start, (50%) what's your blues set at as far as % wise? Also, at 10:20 you mentioned that if one switches to the Fluval PLANT - from a lesser powerful light, starting the FP off gradually would be a wise decision. I wish I had a way to measure the lumans the kit light produced. That way one could have a starting point and Carry on from there.

[@BentleyPascoe]

3%

[@pguste]

thank you for all the tips on having a 10 gallon tank. in retrospect I should have got the half price fluvalsky as I dont need lights this powerful even though I am focused on planting After only 4 days I already have dark water so I have some down to 8 hours at 50%

Pretty dang good video. Very well explained and thorough. Excellent

[@TheWinger1008]

Great video. So much useful info.I just bought the Fluval Nano 3.0 for my Fluval 13 gallon bow front for a new basic planted Betta & shrimp tank. I knew this light was capable of a lot of things. I'll never get out of the Auto mode but love even in that setting you can control the light output. This is my 2nd planted tank. I gave up after my first was taken over by algae 2 years ago. But I know so much more now which is why I went with Fluval. I don't take defeat well :-) I'm saving $$ for a 75gal community tank and you bet some of that $$ will go towards a Fluval light. Plants are expensive and I work hard for my $$ so anything I can do to make my tank a success is money well spent in my opinion. I tried the Amazon knoclk offs and to be fair are pretty decent lights. But, they are not programmable. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Perfect timing. I’m about to purchase a new light and have been looking at this particular model pretty closely.

[@GhostlyBG]

Hey, Bentley, greetings from Bulgaria. A great video as always! I started a planted tank about 10 days ago and started utilizing a shortened version of the Day Sim you had previously shown in a prior video on the topic. My light comes on at 14:00 and switches off at 23:59 with the following maximum output periods (or close to maximum) - from 17:00 until 19:00 it's at 65%, 5%, 100%, 100%, 80% and from 19:00 until 20:30 it's at 85%, 3%, 100%, 100%, 100%, and the ramping down to 35%, 2%, 50%, 65%, 65% (I have all the points the same as yours just shorter periods basically). I'm also injecting CO2. I don't seem to be having any algae issues at the moment (I did daily water changes the first 7 days, and now I'm doing a water change every other day). The tank is exactly 16" tall but the light is probably about 4-5 inches above it (hanging from the ceiling) since there are some pieces of roots sticking out of the water, on the other hand my hardscape is a bit elevated so a good portion of the plants basically are 8 inches below surface. Anyway after this long intro - do you think I should modify the settings as per your suggestion for shallow tanks or leave it as is and monitor what's happening.

[@BentleyPascoe]

Keep your settings and monitor, with co2 you can push more light

You'll want a medium light setting, but it depends on tank height. If this is a 29g or larger (16"+ in height) I would go with 65% on the whites, 5% blue, 35% pink. If it's shallower, change the whites to 50%. From here just monitor plant health and algae.

Watched your older video about it after i bought one as i had issues with blue algea so turned down the blues on my 15inch shallow tank a lot. had like 50% before now its like 2-3% and i hope they will vanish over time. I prefer to tune up the warm white like 5-10% more, the neutral one in the middle and the cold white 5% below the neutral white one. I start early morning with like 1% on all but blue to an 5% all whites and 15% pink. 6pm its at 15 pink, 2% blue, 45% cold/50% neutral/55% warm. till 12:30am it rises up to 35P/2B/50C/60N/65W and then sunset starts. somehow only the moss has blue algea and the other plants have just some fine hair algea on their leaves after nearly 5 weeks now.

You are the best! So detailed but easy to understand. I just got my first fluval and I will try to follow your advice.
