mystersyster Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So two would be great for a 40 breeder? Link to comment
shaner014 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Spread? Edit: 18" cube is what the site says. Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Spread? Edit: 18" cube is what the site says. 18" cube would be a good estimate for higher light corals, that's about what you can do with 50watts of LEDs. So two would be great for a 40 breeder? Definitely, you can sit them over each half of the tank using the tank mount. Link to comment
greengenes Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Does this come with 120° optics, and how tall is the light mount? Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Does this come with 120° optics, and how tall is the light mount? They come with 90 degree optics, the tank mount is about 8", it will sit the light around 5-6" off of the water. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 That is MUCH too close for 90 degree optics IMHO. If people use the tank mount, I would recommend them to take off the optics. 3 Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 That is MUCH too close for 90 degree optics IMHO. If people use the tank mount, I would recommend them to take off the optics. They get good spread, and the light dims to practically nothing, so with proper programming corals should not get burnt. The optics can be removed or replaced with 120 degree optics. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Has anybody got any par numbers on this thing yet? Link to comment
BobinJersey Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 would 1 of these be enough for a 28G Bio-Cube ? Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 would 1 of these be enough for a 28G Bio-Cube ? At a little over 20" square you should be okay for a mixed reef. That or the SuperLux/Photon16/value fixture for an sps heavy system. Link to comment
stevethao Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Anyone use one of these yet? Specifically on an IM 10? Link to comment
stevethao Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I guess no one has used this particular light? Link to comment
JillianAG Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I just got one used and have had no luck connecting it to the app to control it :-(. Can't find any trouble shooting online anywhere Link to comment

JillianAG Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 My husband came home from work - you tubes it and them up within 15 minutes!! I have Mom brain!! Thanks so much for replying!! I really appreciate it! Link to comment
JillianAG Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I do have a question - maybe you can help - or direct me?! I started with the lps setting and tweaked it down by half % and then backed sunset up two hours - and only 3% one blue overnight. I want to be sure that I have my green, red, violet up as high as I should in addition to the blues and whites. Do you by chance know of any guide or is there a rule of thumb re: what colors? How high %? This is all Greek to me! Lol! Link to comment

There isn't really a set percentage, but as a rule of thumb I always do more violet, cool blue, and royal blue than whites, and go pretty low on the reds and greens. 1 Link to comment
JillianAG Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks so much - that's about what I've gone with after using it for a couple of weeks. I attached a pic of my schedule - mixed corals - I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a thumbs up or down ? I know your busy. Thanks again! Link to comment

Add about 10% next week and see how your tank reacts. 1 Link to comment

FamilyGuyPR Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Any one have updated reviews or photos about this light? 1 Link to comment
JillianAG Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I freaking love mine!! I'll try to remember to get some pics tomorrow - it's off for the evening - programming is a challenge at first but I could never live without this light now! I don't have to touch anything - I wake up and my tank is already starting sunrise - you truly have absolute control over EVERYTHING! ???????? 1 Link to comment
TX68 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am getting back into reefing after a long break, starting my biocube 14 back up and this light looks perfect , does anyone have the PAR measurements for this light? 1 Link to comment
JillianAG Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I don’t ... but I have it over my 14g biocube and I keep just about all types with ease. Everything is thriving! Link to comment
