Pros and cons

Pros

Multiple schedule modes allow lighting to be customized by time, color, and brightness.
The remote provides adjustments without touching the fixture, and its listed LCD display shows settings.
Sliding brackets are described as adjustable to the stated 12-to-18-inch tank range.

Cons

The remote is explicitly described as not waterproof, so it needs protection from splashes.
Following a power failure, the listing says the light initially returns at 100% full spectrum before reverting to its previous mode within an hour.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: dimensions are given as 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches in one field but 10.8'' x 4.25'' x 0.47'' in feature text, and weights are listed as both 1.54 pounds and 0.7 kg. The 12V detail field also differs from the adapter description's DC 20V output. The LCD is attributed to the remote in feature text, while an extracted screen-technology field lists LCD without establishing a separate display on the light. The listing calls the fixture waterproof and gives an IP68 feature heading, but elsewhere describes splash protection. Verify the relevant dimensions, power-adapter specification, display location, and protection rating for the selected listing.
