Nicrew Hyper Reef Led

How did you set up the settings in the controller?

You can either create a custom schedule or use one of the premade ones. I am currently using the premade "Tuna Blue" Schedule, with minor changes to the times. I can look at it when I get home and make a programming "walkthrough" I don't remember off the top of my head how to do it, though it is pretty easy.

2X100 w arrivate. Non ho ancora il controller. Che percentuale mi suggerite per i 2 canali?

I use the controller and have it @ 30% whilte, 70% blue for my 40b

Le plafoniere sono a 26 cm dall'acqua. Mettendo 40% bianche e 80% blu è troppo buio in vasca. La vasca misura 120x60x60 in cm. Scrivo dell'Italia, spero che il traduttore funzioni bene

Is there any cheap controllers that work with nicrew lights?

This controller works for the 50w nicrew. It doesnt allow to switch between modes(white, blue, or mix lighting) but does have 6 programmable timers with adjustable intensity between them and 3 modes for ramp up(0, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes).

I have it with the timer on my Evo 13.5. Great adjustability, Ramps up and down nicely for sunrise/sunset. My corals are very happy with it, oh, mine is the 30watt!

What are your intensity for blue and white set at?

What are your intensity for blue and white set at?

My blues start to ramp up at 5:30am and run at 100% until they start to ramp down at 8:00pm. The whites start to ramp at 10:30am and run until 3:30pm at 65% (if I’m remembering the whites percentage accurately).

Thank you

The go with the 30W Nicrew. Great light! 30W HyperReef

I have a 45 gallon that is 28 inch deep. Currently running t5 hybrid w aquaknight 30 w. Not sure if there is enough light for sps. I took par readings awhile ago and sand was 100 par but was thinking of upgrading lights to nicrew 50 watts or AI primes. Not sure the differences between them. Any thoughts?

30W Nicrew is probably doesn't pack enough punch for that deep. I've got the 50W on a 10G Waterbox, and have LPS and SPS on the bottom (roughly 14" deep). I would guesstimate that the 30W would be ok to about 14-16" deep (and still have a decent PAR). 28" is pretty deep. If you kept SP from the middle to top, you should be fine with 50W.

AI Primes are roughly 58ish Watts if I remember correctly. I've had both lights, and ended up selling my AI Prime. The 50W Nicrew was less than half price and comes with a mounting kit. There should be a controller out for the light sometime this summer (if it isn't out already).

I'd rather buy two Nicrew 50's than one AI Prime to be honest. The adjustability isn't too bad with it, and once the controller comes out, should offer more tweaking.

Good luck!

Yeah I would definitely go with a nicrew 50w light, I have one for sale and can give it to you for a decent price!

Going to see if they fit in the space open in my t5 hybrid

What are the dimensions of the actual light and how much?

 

[Chris_Noles]

Nicrew 50w

Here is the light, without the mount the light is 6 inch by 6.25 inches, I can do $50 and you pay shipping, this light was barely used by me btw

Why you getting rid of it?

how much for shipping?

gotta be better than my 30 w

Upgraded my 2 nicrews for an AI hydra 52, and this one is a 50w, and I am located in FL so shipping will probably be in the $8-10 range depending on where you are at

I would agree if I was stuck using the onboard control for the lights. It would be extremely difficult to find a setting that I was happy with. Using the Kessil Spectral Controller X has made ALL the difference for me. Hopefully the Nicrew controller gives similar results.

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up the spectral x with my 2 50 nicrews, can u assist?

Would u post detailed instructions? I set up my own preset in tunablue but it looks as tunasun is still running and no lamps are recognized either way.

Does the fan noise bother any of you? i heard it sounds like a computer fan.
