What have you found bro

What have you found bro

I have the v2, it's a pretty good light, certainly able to keep corals happy. I tried with acros and accidentally bleached them when the light malfunctioned (my fault, not the light's), so they are powerful. I have read complaints from people about the fan noise, though I don't find it bothersome at all.

I would prefer arms but it doesnt really matter. Do you know if i can use just one and if so whuch model of the aqua knight should i use.

You would need 2 of the version with three pucks (three led under each) it should be 60 bucks.

Do you mean the v2 or the other one just to be sure

Thankyou everybody for answering i think i might go with aqua knight but still deciding

Take the V2 Aquaknight. 36 watts and programmable sunset/sunrise (on the device itself, no app).
Nothing under 100 i think even 150 bucks beats this light.

Some (me included) had a faulty temperature controller, so the fan was constantly ramping up to 100% hence the complains about the noise.
Got a new one and haven't heard it since then, great light.

ah, I see. Do agree that it is a great light, while being quite cheap

Will i need two for a tank that 18in width (45cm)

It depends really, I have mine on a 60 cm tank and the edges don't get a lot of light. This doesn't bother me though because I don't have any corals on the edge. It should be able to light a 45 cm tank nicely. If you want very good coverage then go ahead and get two

As you can see, the top lwft and right corners don't get a lot of light, but the rest of it is nicely lit.

Thankyou i might get 2 eventually but i think i will start with one

It looks good. I might even buy it to replace the first version
