Reef Breeder Photon V2. Any reviews?

[kazikage42]

Been looking at some LEDs for my new 90 gallon build. Saw good reviews on these. Any one else use these?

I think they are good lights. I believe Adam at Battle Corals uses these units for his frag tanks... that says a lot. In my research however, I wish it had smooth dawn to dusk ramping. It has distinct step ramping based on how you orogram it, I believe in 30 intervals.

That's good info, 2 choices so far was these BC it comes in a 48" or 2 16" SB reef wifi. Will cost about the same but the 48" will free up an power outlet.

I like mine. They don't use a lot of power and put out a lot of par.

The programing can be a little daunting, but it really isn't that bad.

How's the coral growth with them?

Good for my standards and a young tank. I've had sps grow as well as LPS. I have the 48 on my 120

I am interested in these as well. Which would I need for a 40 long?

 

[indyjaco]

The 48 v2 would be your best bet.

I have 2 32s on my 150 gal. They're good but wish they dimmed like the previous poster stated. I have an older generation as they are not WiFi

Oh and my sps have grown pretty well for my first time with sps

I'm really pleased with mine. I have the 48" over my 75gal and get excellent coverage. I replaced my AI sol blues so I do the miss the gentle ramping features, but for the price I can't complain. Since they have been over my tank for a few weeks I can definitely see an improvement in color with my corals.
