Nitrogen Question

[JL15219]

Like i said there are other options but I can say it definitely grows lps and soft corals. But I think there are much better light options there aren't many better programming options under $200. Also the 29 gallon is a little deeper tank. I think it would work really well on a 20gallon long. I will eventually upgrade it to an AI prime 16HD or a kessil aA360 probably next. The light was given to me so I figured no reason to spend $200. It was new though. So not used.

Oh gotcha both of those lights are very nice!

I would not use those nicrew lights if I were you. Yes they can work for a couple months to a year but i doubt they can sustain anything but the lowest of low light corals. Better off going with 1 orphek or3 bar for better par and right spectrum for corals on a budget, kessils and aqua illumination are really nice as well

I agree! Thats what I said. I wouldn't recommend them. I would do something different.

Oh okay I thinking about just because the price but I may just stick to the DsunY and check out some of the ones you mentioned

 

[dedragon]

I just think you probably cant beat those orpheks to add even 80-100 par with just 1 light. The results shown by some members are crazy

 

[dedragon]

definitely stay away from those cheap chinese made leds if you have the budget to do so, not worth them having an electrical fire

 

[dedragon]

i think the Dsuny is one of the cheap chinese models fyi

Oh really? I've seen them while researching lighting but maybe I should look into them a little more....I want something I can mount not hang from the ceiling not sure how those are

There are some cheap Chinese models for sure.

Oh wow really haven't read anyone have an electrical fire that's crazy, but now I'm sad because I really liked the price, par, and mounting option for the DsunY.

In the way of cheap chinese boxes i like the viparspectra.

 

[dedragon]

thanks crimson. I would bet there are some solutions for tank mounting on the forum for orphek bars

Yeah that was my 1st option but I didn't like the ceiling mount

 

[dedragon]

sigh i have to say i do too but i do not recommend them if you are not around the tank all the time or have a par meter because they beam light into the tank

 

[JL15219]

I think i need to check them out....so they are literally bars?

They have radion power on a budget. But if someone wanted a black box and don't want to spend $800 thats what I would say lol

Well they have dials to dim the white and blue channels

 

[dedragon]

lol yea i dont want to be held accountable for those brands, they do dim but again need a par meter to actually gauge what they were doing and again fire hazard in your own house

I'm going to do a search here see what I find

 

[dedragon]

definitely do the research it will help a ton. Dana riddle light forums are unbelievably informative
