Sb light reviews.

[Murica]

I've been in the market for lights for quite a while now. I've read a bunch of reviews on different lights and taking everything into consideration (cost, heat, replacement parts/maintenance, electrical consumption, growth, color, customer service, warranty and overall rating) I have decided I'm most likely going to get these lights. I was planning on getting two sb 32" Wi-Fi for my 6 long, 2 feet deep and 30" tall. It will be a mixed reef.

Anyone care to share a review, positive or negative. Photos of your setup would be great [emoji106]

I am using the same lights on my 180 build which is very similar dimensions. I don't have the reef up and running, yet, but they are solidly built. The WIFI is good reception, but you can only connect one at a time which is a bit of a nuisance. The 2x32" fixtures do get great coverage on a 6x2'. They are also very quiet.

I am using 2 80w t5s as supplement to even out the spotting from the colored leds.

I have 6 of the 16" sb reef lights over my 300 gallon and love them [emoji16] [emoji16]

What's your dimensions?

I have 2 of the 32" over my 72"x18"x20" tank. They work really well and have one of the best moonlight effects I have seen on any fixture. I do find they have to be cleaned regularly to keep the fans from making noise.

Been using them for about a year and a half. No complaints here.

72" long x 36" wide x 27" tall

My tank is 24" wide, you think one row would do it?

Really? I have had mine for a little over a year and no noise in the fans at all...never cleaned. I had a dimmer switch go bad and contacted Mike and he had it out the same day. Easy to replace. Mine grow coral like weeds...

I run mine in a canopy with cut out tops. That might be why mine need to be cleaned more often.

Is it difficult to set the correct lighting? It looks like it only has like four channels you can change

It has 2. White, green,red and then blue. I have my blues on about 70 to 75% and white just a click on

Love mine! Basics and just added 2 retro t5s. Now I really love them!

I have six over my 180g. Crazy good coverage. No problems. They are wifi so I can control all six at once with the app.

Just 2 clarify, it has 2 you can control but they have 3 channels. The third channel is the moonlight which is either on or off. And it looks amazing.

Yes sir. That is correct. Moonlight looks awesome!
Even brings out my irradiance like corals. Under journal light they don't pop but when moonlight hits they are glowing!

Sweet thanks for the replies, the more I learn about them the better I like them. [emoji106]
