I like the app, easy to use.Now if only they would catch up with the time and actually write a decent UI for the application. I cringe and involuntarily twitch every time I see the Reefi UI
The 90's called and want their Netscape UI back. LOL

6 months growth under Reefi, seriously I can't say enough good things about these lights!
Yeah but you have to admit the app UI looks like something somebody's grandmother threw together from a Frontpage template My friend and I (both software engineers) have been telling Daniel for years to update his UI to make it look more professional and polished. It wouldn't even take much either but he seems pretty stubborn and set in his ways. Sighs ...I like the app, easy to use.
I’ve compared pictures and I see 6 months of purchases and not 6 months of growth
Almost anything in the original spot in the first pic, is not in the second pic and grown
Anything significant in the second pic is not in the first pic.
Bare spots in the first pic are filled in with corals in the second pic.
Small corals in the first pic that I can find in the second pic, are still small
6 months of growth? You are not growing coral from bare rock. The statement is a little deceiving. Sure some things have grown, but you should focus on those things with individual pictures to make a point. Anyone comparing the pics will see bare rock, then coral filled rock, and your claim that the reefi grew this is inaccurate.
Here is 9 months of growth for 2 torch in my tank, same corals and location and 9 months growth for a favia, different location but same tank and lighting.
If you want to make a point about coral growth, and I do think the reefi is a great light, then this is how to do it.
Thank YOU! This made my year. I have to admit I love when people see my tank in person for the first time, the eyes widen, jaw drops slightly and usually they exclaim, "oh **** dude!" Guess I love the attentionFirst off - Bruttal has an amazing tank and everyone should check out his build thread. I mean it, it’s a full wall tank with a fantastic custom built filtration system and when I saw it I was truly impressed.
How long they'll produce twin arc bulbs? Radium bulbs are already discounted.Kessil for sure. But to be honest, just get some reefbrites with twin arc bulbs and the blue LED bar for supplement.
Oooh, I like the almost natural daylight look on these. Are the photos taken with filters and therefore looks more blue to the naked eye?Thats a trash talk.
The Uno 2.0 Pro basically won the game, it’s in the price range of the cheaper options, but defeats all high end fixtures as well.
I talk from experience with both the first generation Uno over my main system, as well as the second one over my frag tank - and oh boy how well they grow SPS.
Glass did not break on any of my 5 close-to m-3 years old first gen Unos, nor the 2 close-to m-1 year old second gen Unos - so I’m not sure what they’re talking about.
And the fact that it does use glass is actually a big big difference because it does not filter UVA like plastic does, which is one of the main benefits of running MH - the amount of UVA it produces.
I’m honestly a little surprised anyone tried to go against it, but given that it is a competitor, there’s probably a good reason for that.
You’ve seen my frag tank, now I’ll show my 206g SPS dominant reef tank, spectrum here is more purple/blue unlike the newer generation that actually does have a full spectrum (and the reason why I have another 2 Uno 2.0 pro waiting to be hanged over it).
That last pic is a 40cm in diameter Acropora Florida that I grew under this lights within 2 years from a little frag - so that’s my answer to “grows only LPS” lol
I ended up going with a Kessil A500X. It's overkill, but I plan on moving it to a larger tank when I move and have more room. I'm very happy with it.Kessil will do that for you. I've had MH and Kessil has the same effect. I have a kessil A360x (x2).
Is reef lighting all about the wattage ? For example, higher watts = better light. Higher number of LEDs = better too?Have you looked at the Reefi Labs uno 2.0?
You won't get the Halide shimmer on anything but a Halide, so if your hearts set on shimmer, go with what ya know.
If you want a LED however, get the best LED Available right now, The Reefi out preforms everything else available right now due to the sheer wattage they produce, at 270 watts they are 50watt more powerful than any competitor. Plus they cost HALF as much or less than a set of KESSIL lights (overpriced even compared to Radion IMO).
Little data for you to look thru,

This Pic below is April (top) to November (bottom) with these Reefi Lights.
Not just wattage and number of lights, but spectrum seperation as well, Reefi have a real 400nm, and a 420nm spectrum setting. Those are what really makes the coral color pop. Reefi has more channels of light also I believe. Most lights do not have a true 400nm channel, they call 420nm Ultra Violet, it is but it is top spectrum UV not middle spectrum UV like 400nm is.Is reef lighting all about the wattage ? For example, higher watts = better light. Higher number of LEDs = better too?
Noticed the reefi has the most watts and number of leds so I am curious. Thanks!
