They are heavy! WIFI has worked great so far, connected right away. I will have time to mess with it over the weekend some more and give feedback.

Awesome! Looking forward to your write up. I’m getting annoyed on my Gen 5 making popping noise. I’m about to chuck it out onto the street so some car can run it over. I’m still waiting over a month now for replacement parts.

My wife just told me the new covers arrived today. I will be replacing the covers and posting them for sale tonight. My biggest issue with the G5's isn't the cracking covers, it's the fact that I feel like Ecotech sold a defective product. I have lights turning on by themselves, changing the intensity to 100% on 1 light, can't connect to all lights, cracking cases, popping noises from day one, and Ecotech flat out refusing to replace them. I like the overall coverage they supply and think they were just rushed.

Took a quick PAR reading with my Apogee 510 and got 120 PAR on the sand, 240 at the acro using LPS mode on the light. Lights may be a little close to the water. It was late and had to work today so I went conservative on the lighting, that's with Reef Brites off.

Yes, all is well. Very happy with the lights. I ended up keeping it on LPS as I like the color and it meets my par needs. The 6 sticks of SPS have been doing great sitting at 220-250 par. The only impact I saw was a little bleaching on one monti but it was also taking 50 more PAR than before. It's doing great now and colored back up. I plan to keep a mixed reef so the SPS profile was way overkill for what I need.
