Noopsyche K7 Pro II - Crimson's Review and Growth Thread

What is the recommended coverage of each of these lights? I have a 8ft long x 30inch wide x 2ft tall 300gal.

IF you are doing an SPS reef then 18x18 if you are doing mixed then 24x24.

I would say 8-10 on your tank would be very good in two rows of 4 or 5.

Sps dominant so teah thats what i figured. 200 per light? That everything or power supply or controller seperate? And 200 is to your door?

 

[dantimdad]

You only need one controller for up to 16 lights.

So, 8 lights, 8 brackets and 1 controller.

Do they have a hanging option?

 

[Shooter6]

Dont see the shipping cost

 

[dantimdad]

There isn't a hanging option per se.

But, the screw holes in the top can take an 8-32 bolt, hook or eye screw. I have also seen hanging kits on amazon that use that size thread for about $9 each. IIRC.

What are your thoughts on only using 2 on at 4' 120G that is predominantly LPS/Softies?

Two should be very adequate on a 48" LPS/Softy tank.

 

[Rybren]

Thanks

 

[dantimdad]

Agreed two should do it.

Any update on how the light is doing?

 

[Shooter6]

2 questions. 1 are these comparable to radions or the hydras?
2 i see similar no name lights on ebay, 90watt ect. Are they all the same? Thinking about using a couple under my display in an anemone tank and a frag tank.

Any update? Did you still using the same settings as you last update?

They are good light..

BUT the controller is not that good.
take a while to get used to it and you can easily mess up ur settings.

Plus no phone app

for the price i am happy with mine.

Ok so total would be 1600-2k to light the 8ftx30.
Its an interesting option that i may use on my frag tanks. On the display ill stick with the ledzeal.com Malibu s400 2x4ft=800 4x4ft 1600. If i do 4 of them ill definitely have to lower the output of them. They also have wifi. But ill be using cwstrife layout on them.

Sorry for the delay in updating.

I do think these are a decent option. They seemed to function well, you were able to add dimming points which are a step above other black box leds. I did notice coral growth, and color seemed as good as my previous setup.

I do think there needs to be an adjustment to the controller. An app or improved controller would be a welcome improvement! It is very basic and somewhat difficult to program. The given instructions were difficult to understand, but I believe this is being improved, if not already corrected. An app would be amazing, and probably not difficult to implement.

Although they are a nice fixture, I did decide to put them on the shelf. I am currently using GHL Mitras.

Overall, if you are looking for a decent light on a budget, this is an option. I am a huge fan of Ocean Revive Leds and would recommend them to anyone in a heart beat. If you want more control and similar budget as the K7, I would look into Reef Breeders V2. It has a more refined controller and more dimming points. I am not hating on the light by any means, I just think there are some better options for similar or cheaper pricing.
