I got a LED light strip from aqueon and found out its alittle too bright for my 120g so, I was wondering if anyone or it possible to install a dimmer so I can control the intensity? No plants just fish in tank, so I don't have to worry about duration either thanks for any help!
 
Your LED bulbs must be compatible with your dimmer switch in order for it to work. Most LED bulbs need special dimmer switches.
An alternative is to put some window screening under the light. This would help dim the brightness.

Thanks for the info and for the tip. I think I'm going to try it out on my next day off.
 
I'm sure its dimmable, but hard to say how exactly to do it without being able to look at the fixture in person.

Based on pictures from the website, it looks like each LED strip inside the fixture have individual plugs on them.

I'm pretty sure you can just unplug one of the LED strips to get your desired light level.
