Ocean Revive Artic SO26 LED

Hurricane Aquatics · Jan 17, 2014

Hey All,

I was taking my cube down and sold my Kessil A360W-E to a board member. Well, I am not going to be moving as quick as I thought and decided to order one of the Ocean Revive Artic S-026 for the time being.

All I can say is, WOW! I have owned every LED fixture on the market, including Radion Pro's, AI Vega's, and Mitras 6200LV.

The Ocean Revive is very good quality and my corals are responding very positively in the first couple of days. The adjust-ability on the two knobs is very good, it runs silent and it is very cool (temp and look

)

For $156.00 shipped, there is no way you can beat this fixture. It is a full spectrum as well. I am really just stunned at the quality of the fixture and the light it puts out.

If you are in the market and need a quality LED, pick one, two, or however many up you need, you won't be sorry.

I have a 60 cube, 24x24x24, and one of these covers it no problem. There is 0 shadowing and it would cover an area much larger than this as well. Just really satisfied and I am almost IMPOSSIBLE to satisfy.

Here are just a few quick shots off my IPhone, so not top quality by any means.

I got mine last week and agree with you they look quality built and make the tank look great. Price was awesome and a little over a week and my corals are responding great. I started off at 40% blue/30% white and after a week bumped both up a mark. What do you have yours tuned to?

Tank look really nice with them. I had trouble getting my FTS photos to look like I see them. But, so far I'm VERY happy with them.

I usually run mine about 50% on white and about 70% on the blues. I will kind if watch that for a few weeks and make sure it isn't too much.

If you were using leds before, you are probably OK IMHO. And at 50% & 70% over a 24" deep tank you are probably in the 150 to 200 PAR at the sand which is a nice safe number and should get you good growth. I've seen the new Arctic S026 over at Stan's house (he works for OceanRevive) and they are very cool. Having digital dimmer control to the 1% level is the part of a full built-in controller that I want, and dusl built-in timers too!

BTW, the tank looks very nice!
