New light

Christa50 · Jan 9, 2020

I am not happy with my aquamedic light so I ordered this light. I believe in your country its called aqua knight. Anyone use this light? And what are your findings. I bought it for my 13 gallon

Yes, that looks like the Hipargero Aqua Knight A029. There are several people here that use that light - you can use the R2R search feature to find several threads if you want to try that. That seems to be a popular nano light so, although I don't have one, that should work well for your 13g. Good luck!

I got the light today. I dialed the Whites back 5 kliks. Giving the tank a 15000/20000 Kelvin look. Also I placed a glass lid because my corals suffered from to much light with the previous light. I am hoping to reach 100 PAR or less at the bottom. From what I have seen on a YouTube video with a PAR meter I should be around 90 to 110. I think my goniopora is relieved being out of the cave I put it in.
It is a very pretty light too. Much cleaner look now.
In the same shipping I also got polyfilter. Man this stuf is expensive. And purigen blue. Now let the tank rest

I have to say the colors are amazing under this light. The green goni who has been retracted voor weeks during day time already comes open so does the red one
