Suggestions on new lights?

[James_O]

I’m looking for a super good, reliable light that has Bluetooth and/or WiFi capabilities, that can grow LPS, softies, and SPS.

Preferably under $200 a light, but that might just be a dream. I have a 29g just for size comparison.

I would prefer it to also be modern and functional.

(The only reason I want a new light, is because my current one is super old and almost wrecked my whole tank because of a power failure, and it resetting to 100% on both channels)

You didnt specify what type of light so I assume your looking at LEDs.

If you dont mind used, a single AI Hydra 26 could work but the edges of your tank would be pretty dim. I seem them on my local reefer site for $200 or less pretty often.

Otherwise the only light that is in that price range new that comes to mind is the Redsea 50, but I do not have any experience with that fixture.

If it was me I would look for a used light, but everyone is different and you might not have a large reefer base around you to look for used equiment.

Definitely would get a used, unless I could find a great price on a new one. I don’t have the money to buy brand new.

Yes, sorry, forgot the mention that.

Ok, I’ll look into that one! Can it connect to the WiFi and can you control it when you’re away from the house? (I assume it has Bluetooth, but I am interested in the WiFi function as well)

Do any of these have WiFi capabilities?

AI prime 16 HD. You will need two of them

The Ai - yes.
Kessil $200 or under - No

Depends what kind of corals you want as well. I ran a 16hd for a long time on a 22 gal with no problems. Mainly lps and softies. I upgraded later so that I could add some sps. I have 2 16HDs for sale. Lmk

I have just a few SPS, but I’m not really interested in them. I’m more interested in LPS, but mostly softies.

Look at Noopysche lights. They just came out with a new version and I believe right at $200 per fixture
