Noo Psyche vs Ai prime HD 16

[mh0ward]

Yea, I imagine it would be easier to color match what you already have with a Prime.

 

[Spare time]

The k7 mini has way more blue/violet compared to more whiter colors that the prime can offer, so visuals are something to think about. However, the lenses don't melt on the k7 mini. In this case, I personally would get a prime or an led bar to span across the tank.

That’s not accurate. I have three over my tank and they were all easily synced with each other.

You must have the larger "pros". I do as well, and yes they sync.

OP was asking about the minis, which do not sync.

It's been a while since I've had mine going, maybe they've updated the app to allow more than one mini set up on the same device at a time.

Another 32 would work too.
You can get a used one for a good price.

I ran the K7 on an 18" nano and would have no issue running several on larger systems.
The app once set becomes a non issue, imo.

Thought of that but 2 new k7 mini cost less than a used 32.

The GLO or GRO, they also don't really match the 32 if I am not mistaken.

In case you aren't aware, the K7 minis only have 3 channels. So you may not get them to 'match' the other lights as easily. Regular K7s have 7 channels, I think.

I wasn't aware. I just assumed it was a single lens of the PRO. Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't used either so I can't really say

Ah, my apologies Op.

Has the app on the Noo psyche gotten any better since you started using it? I am wondering if it's just a matter of giving them time.

It has not they haven't updated it in over a year

Have you thought of the tuna blue? It’s about as pricey as the AI prime 16HD when you factor in the cost of the controller sold separately. I have the AI prime HD but I’ve grown somewhat envious of the tuna blue when I saw a nano tank at my LFS. It has this vibrancy that’s difficult to replicate with AI.

which version is that the A80?

I use k7 mini. It’s the only light I’ve ever used so I can’t really compare it to anything else. My corals grow and stay open. I will say that I have had no issues with some corals that are said to be difficult and I’ve revived some corals that I was told were toast. I think there are lights with better apps but once you’re set you’re set. My power went out for 6 hours and the light held the programming unlike my power head.

 

[nano7g]

which version is that the A80?

Yes. Around $130 +$99 for the controller.

 

[nereefpat]

which version is that the A80?

The 160 will be closer to a Prime in terms of wattage (power)

Okay thanks for the heads up.

In an interesting turn of events, I could get a pair of AI 26 for 225. Is that a good price? Does it match the colors of the 32?

It also comes with a mount.

Not sure about the mini but the K7 is a par monster. I have 6 over my WB 330.7. I have a prime sitting on a shelf. One splash and it's a white only light now. It's been a couple of months since my last noopsyche purchase but it was at my door in 9 days from China. Two other times I purchased were about the same.
I dislike mobius but really like the my Ai app. Noopsyche app is nothing to brag about but it works. Biggest complaint I have is I can never get it to work on wifi so I just use AP mode. I've been running noopsyche for close to 2 years and the app looks the same now as it did then. The qr generator @BeanAnimal designed helps a lot

Can you post a pic of video of your tank? I had the mini & it was too purpleish for me

Noo-Psyche Orders & Info

That's too bad. i hope something gets resolved for you today. When i ordered mine a while back it was direct from the site and there were no issues. i bit concerning that you are getting the runaround. They are great little lights but they are shooting themselves in the foot with this...

@OrlandoAIOReef that one image looks over saturated. This is closer to what I see. Not a great pic with the window but it more realistic.
