Hi everyone,
As title says I have a viparspectra 165W box on top of my 32 gal long (15" deep) tank with mostly LPS, softies and 1 monti.
The light is 10" above water level but I have an acrylic lid "softening" a bit the light. I don't get much spray salt or drops so its mostly clear.
Most of the...
Hi all,
I’m hoping you could comment. I’m moving from a 60 cm cube tank (around 2’x2’x2’) to a new custom build. The new tank will be 100 cm wide by 100 cm long by 62 cm high.
Currently I’m running one Kessil AP9X with maximum intensity of 67% at tank’s high noon.
Do you think this fixture at...
Was thinking of going with a radion xr15, just don’t know whether to do blue or pro as well if I go with that light.
Thank you for any help in advance!
Hello,
I am looking to start a 75 gallon mixed reef tank(Aqueon). I got a ATI 48" 6 bulb fixture for free. Went with coral plus, blue plus and actinic. Wife and I want the color pop and shimmer from led's. What are your recommendations? The plan is to put the lights inside a custom housing to...
Long awaiting this moment of getting back into building a new tank after years away from the hobby. Seems like some options have changed but the key players are still around for obvious reasons. So this leads me here and I would appreciate any advice that the community has.
I have had previous...
These are practically brand new, I set them up and had them on maybe 2 months over a 4 foot LPS and softie tank. Very light use for the number of lights over that frag tank. I am currently trying to sell them to someone else so that they can use them as I won’t be able to run my tank for a...
Hello!
If you were choosing between Fluval Marine LED light or Current USA Orbit Marine, which would you choose? Price is about the same. I was going to go with USA orbit but it looks like it maxes at 8,000k? Fluval maxes at 25,000k. Thank you!!

Hello :)
I am new in this hobby and struggling with light setup. My aquarium size is 120x40x50.
I had a giesmann T5 8x39W which was getting my aquarium crazy so I swapped to LED. I have now a noname DIY saltwater LED light fixture from a guy who made some already and he had good growth of...
Hello! Marine lights are generally rather pricey. Anyone ever considered light therapy lights? They seem close to the right brightness and color temperature? Any opinions? TIA!
Hi. New to this site, but I've been lurking it for a while. I'm getting back into reefing after a long period of just not having time to do much other than basic maintenance. and while I was busy my softies have grown out of control (and maybe even mutated to new colors I don't think I've ever...

The video clip above is the most recent shot of the 40 breeder that I just cycled and I’m now adding live stock.
I will be getting a decent amount of corals in a little less than a week! Can’t wait!!
A lot of diy work went into this setup I had some ai primes...
I am working on a 2-gallon Pico DIY build and came across the Zetlight LED M1. Has anyone had experience with this light? Wondering if it will work with a timer (as some LED lights with a certain type of on/off switch don’t work with timers), and if it will retain previous settings. Any input...
Hey everyone I just wanted to make a post really quick that I feel needs to be put out into the reefing world.
im not here to argue about lighting or which is the best Lux / par wise. I just wanna say that on my most recent tank build. (40b 20L sump...

Hello all,
I am setting up a 3ft wide by 1 ft deep by 2 feet tall reef tank and I am planning on lighting it with AI Prime 16HDs. I have 3 at the moment and I am trying to get a read on how 3 primes can be used to achieve a mixed reef with such a deep tank? Any help and experience is...
So I recently pick up a used (24x24x24) 60 gallon cube. The light he gave me with it was a little T5 fixture which would be ok for some very low light corals. I need to get a lights and powerheads for it. I’m looking to have a mixed reef tank and am looking for a good light that can be mounted...
I’m selling my XR15 G5 Pro Radions and going to go back to Kessils. I had great growth and color with the G5’s but I miss that Kessil shimmer.
The lights are already taken down, packed back in original boxes, and RTG. They were all installed Feb 2021 and used on the LPS/Softy profile with a...
Trying to figure out what this is lol. Been out of the hobby for a while and I'm assuming it is a timer for the lights, but it does not have the adapter. So trying to figure out if it would be worth it to buy a new adapter or not. Also, disregard the circled part, that was just me asking the...
I just received 2 Hydra 64hds from AI as replacements for the 52hds that I sent in for repair (paid upgrade). Decided to go another direction on lights.
They are brand new in box lights - $625 + shipping for each one. $1200 + shipping for both.
