NICREW 30 watts

Freshermenreefer · Oct 22, 2022

I have a 30 watt NICREW led light on my 20 gallon I’m trying to figure out the settings to keep it on far as white and blue

The controller is not my favorite but the new controller is a little nicer with physical click buttons vs the old touch activated.

Each color setting has 6 intensities
From 5% to 100%
You Have to click on each color from the dimmest setting a certain number of times to reach max before it resets.
Play around with it a little to see what i mean.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

So out the 6 intensities where would u keep it at where would you keep the blue and the white to get that balance of light in your tank I been keeping my tank more blue it like really no algae grow as much if it was more white far is corals. I’m only thinking about softies.

I run mine at 100% on a 10 gallon with no problems. It could depend on what corals you have in it but 100% is a good spot imo. I paid for 30 watts and I want to use all of it.

I’m using the Nicrew 30 watt on my Fluval 13.5. Seeing great growth.

Blue 100%
White 50%.

Ramps up at 7am. Down at 7
