Recently stumbled across the ReefBar Pros made by a company called 21LED. I’ve been having a hard time deciding whether to go with the SB Reef sBar or these ReefBar Pros. Wondering if anyone has used them and what they’re thoughts are on them. Ideally I’d love to talk to someone who has ran both. I’d be going with the ultra Actinic for the ReefBar & Actinic for sBar. Biggest thing I don’t like about the ReefBar is the red LEDs. I like the price and the fact I can get a controller with the ReefBar for less than a sBar. Still waiting to get an answer as to whether the sBar can be controlled with my apex (dimming)

The dimmable Sbars can be controlled with your aPEX but you have to hack them yourself. Not a difficult job. It would be the same hack, as I understand it, that would be one on the Sbox basics. That is all I can help you out on though. Good luck with your choices.

I guess I’d just have to adapt the wiring from the video above to match the single channel separate dimmer/power supply the sBar uses. Should be possible though.

Easy enough.
