FINNEX LIGHT

drakebuffie · May 4, 2022

So I searched the forum and read anything relevant to these lights. I have the finnex 24/7 for marine tanks. Cant remember the exact light or length. Length for this does not matter.

I am not at the point of adding corals yet and probably a few months away. Is one of these lights adequate for some corals depending on tank placement? I realize these are cheaper lights when compared to some but I am wondering before I kill anything if you can get by with one of these set on the 24/7 setting depending on corals and where they are placed in tank?

My brother runs multiple finnex on his tanks and he does just fine. From what he says better than some with high end lights. I dont doubt him but I wont be buying multiple sets of lights anytime soon.

I run finnex lights on my planted aquariums. They are perfect for that but I cant imagine it puts out a ton of Par. What size is your aquarium? depth will really play a factor in here but You could probably do soft corals without too much issues but I think you will struggle with anything more difficult.
