Aqua Knight LED | Nano Reef Tank Lighting

[Tennsquire]

I run one of these lights on my frag QT tank and it does just fine. The acro frags that pass through my tank start to encrust onto the egg crate on the frag rack, so it can support higher light corals.

Nothing that scientific. New arrivals are dipped and go into QT. One side button appears to change the intensity while the other changes blue/white mix. I keep the intensity low at first so I don't shock corals. Color is maybe one or two clicks from the bluest setting.

Would one of these be enough for a 20 long?

I doubt it. When I go to frag swaps, I use this on a 5.5 gallon. It's not going to cover the spread of a 20 long (isn't that like 30 inches?). What are you looking to keep in your tank?

2 should be okay,but 3 would be perfect and for under $200 that would not be a bad choice of light and definitely one of the cheapest options for that tank @Wolf89.

I have 2 over a 20 long. See my tank build

In this video we are going to take a look at the Aqua Knight LED Aquarium Light. This is a great value nano reef light that retails for under $100. We'll cover the setup and install of the Aqua Knight LED as well as go over some of the pros and cons of the Nano Reef Light.

where should I place a torch coral under this light?

 

[Steven Garland]

More than likely center,or slightly off center. Really depends on the morph and what par it likes.

I run my 2 at 100 blue and 20 white in a 29 bio cube. Wonder in anyone had success keeping a rainbow bubble tip anemone under these lights as I just bought one for the tank and was worried it wouldn't get great color or growth

I had one in the past and it did well with this light before I rearranged it into another tank. Those BTA are quite hardy if you have good water quality I think they're bullet proof.

Thanks for the reply mine just recently made it's way in the propeller of my powerhead. I was beyond ticked!!! However I'm going to set up an rbta garden in a separate tank with a ai prime HD , I had 2 hipargero LEDs in that livingroom tank . The Lfs's in ft Lauderdale tell me ai is the way to go for nems and sps but forums are less convincing.

It's over a nuvo 10. All soft corals but I have no doubt it could grow easy sps. The elegance here is a temporary resident.

Hey mate sorry bringing this thread up after a while. Do you still have the tank and light at all?

Any idea about LED type or model to use in this bulb? I want to replace them.
