I have a Coral Box, I purchased it from ReefBreeders as their Nano Light Plus.

I absolutely love it

Thanks BeelzeBob nice to hear a recent review, there are not really a lot of info out there of this light. I really like the specs on this one and will not break my bank account. Nice clean tank.
 
I was looking at them too. Was thinking of putting 3 of them on a IM Fusion 30L. Can get 3 of them for the price of 2 AI Primes. Gonna pull the trigger soon, just waiting to see if a 4th of July sale pops up.

Not a problem sir. The diodes in these units really nice. My little 60 watt unit has 5 5watt Cree and 7 3watt EpiLEDs. I also really liked the color range in the blue violet spectrum

The only negative review/opinion of them I read about while researching was the interface with the phone app, saying it was confusing and convoluted.

I sat down for the first time and had all 6 channels programmed in about 20 minutes.

If you get yours first please post a review. In my case is a DIY cube and im still waiting for the glass order be ready for pickup. Happend that in PR Ultra Clear low iron glass is more difficult to find and i cannot find a cube shape tank locally, well at least the one im looking for. It will take couple of month more until a can put all together but meanwhile i am still researching an buying stuff. For the lights i will go definetelly with this coral box fixture or the AI prime, for the skimmer i was thinking in a SCA 301.
 
Ended up buying 2 of the from Reefbreeders. Got them today. Only had em running for a couple hrs, but first impression is they are great. Connecting to them through wifi was easy, although I am having trouble connecting both tho my router, that way I can control both at the same time. Will try that again later.

Programming was pretty easy. Really like the different channels and that each fixture has 5 "pucks" instead of one. Spread seems good and coverage looks good on my Fusion 30L at 36" wide. Fans are really quite, can only hear them if i put my ear right next to it. Just set up my tank today, so it will be a while before i put any corals in. We will see how they do then. But for now, especially at $162 each(10% off 4th sale), I am really happy with them.
