The type of fixture you illuminate your aquarium with matters.

To make all the elements of your aquascape stay healthy and visually pop — from fish and plants to decor — select a full spectrum RGB (red, blue, green) option, such as the Aqueon® OptiBright® Smart LED light. This smart light syncs with the Aqueon® BlueIQ app to make controlling your aquarium light a breeze.

When you're setting up a new aquarium, you may look closer at the aquarium hood and wonder if the light fixture should be illuminated 24/7 or if your fish and plants need a light schedule.

The quick answer is yes, you should schedule the lighting for your fish and plants.

Your finned friends and flora need a daily break from bright lights. Here's what you need to know about aquarium lighting, why it matters, and how to set up a proper light schedule for your aquarium.

Last month ago I contacted my neurologist to learn how to discontinue Topamax, a prescription medicine taken to help prevent migraine symptoms. I was having too many side effects — and concerns — so it was time.
When I started this migraine prevention medicine in the spring of 2023, I did notice some healing benefits. My dizziness was reduced. I didn’t have as many vertigo episodes. My daily life was improving, so I felt like it was a good fit for me. However, after chatting with friends who ...
