dhjunkie Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm needing recommendations for a led fixture to go over my 20 high for $200. Something with built in controller that can grow mushrooms at first, then ricordeas, and eventually rbtas. Link to comment
Anden Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Kessil 160we if needed go Kessil 360we or if you want more control for less money get a maxspect celestial 35f or 70f. I have a Kessil 160 and a maxspect 35f and i cant say what i like the most other then Kessil controler is 100$ and maxspect controler is build in the lamp. Link to comment
dhjunkie Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks for the reply. Not to thrilled about an extra hundo for a controller. I like everything I saw about the maxspext except the spread. Based on what I've read the spread on the maxpect 35f is 14in x 14in. Which would miss 5 in on either side. I wasn't able to find any info on the 70f. Can you provide a link? Link to comment
Muraki Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nanobox Duo might suite your needs. Link to comment
Gooburz Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I would go with the Nanobox Duo like mentioned above or with a Reefbreeders fixture. Both would be in your price range and both have built in controllers and timers. Kessil does make a great light but you spend so much extra for a controller ability. Have not heard anything bad yet on the Nanobox or Reefbreeders, both top end products. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've got a Duo w/ channel control that's only a few months old for sale soon once I sell off the coral and fish. 4 channel control rather Link to comment
Matteo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Duo? They said 200 everybody Link to comment
Horerczy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The built in controller part kinda makes this hard. Link to comment
mystersyster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ocean revive t247. Very good light. I'd check out out Link to comment
iggy097 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm pretty happy with my Maxxspect Razor Nano I just got - a little out of the 200 range though. Link to comment
joy13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If you want something that is controllable you might consider this light http://www.ebay.com/itm/WIFI-Dimmable-165W-LED-Aquarium-Light-Full-Spectrum-Fish-Tank-Reef-Coral-Lamp-/201332405274?hash=item2ee058b41aMy lfs has a couple in and they are really neat. I still prefer my kessil for shimmer. Link to comment
Dreichler Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 AI PRIME.... $200 built in wifi controller tp control and make timers with your phone... plenty of spread and power for such a small light... grows anything, i have a few clams in my JBJ 45 with a single prime, grows sps, clams, and lps all the way in the sand bed...

Wellll given you've had the clam ("s"? I thought 1? What are you hiding from us?!? MORE CLAMS?) for a week you can't really tell long term. But I agree that the AI Prime is a great light for $200 and probably fine for a 19 deep tank. Link to comment
