Nanoreef523 · Aug 13, 2015

I am going to order this light for my nano cube 24 gal and was wondering if anyone has this light, and what you think of it?
thanks

Was my first light getting started, if i had to rate it I would give it a 6.
Has some nice features.
Honesty I would save your money and buy a good quality unit.

I agree with other two. Save money and buy a better light.

definitely learned long time ago cheap way is never the best way you will end up spending ten times the money i've had really great successes with these lights have been using them for over two years haven't had any issues what so ever WELLPAR 2PCS Dimmable 165W LED Aquarium Light Full Spectrum for Coral Reef Tank i plan on trying the new kessel AP700 hoping to see one at MA

Good light. Still tweeking the settings after 6 months. My frags are growing( actually had them set to high). Much better then bulbs, and a heck of a lot cooler the metal hali and bulbs. They just released a pro version, they are quite pricy. I am waiting on the reviews for the pros, I might upgrade to the pro. From what I am reading pros have a much better spectrum But again, I am happy with the orbit marine lights I have now.

I used this light to replace original lighting. So far I am loving it. Fit nice in the hood of my JBJ Nano cube. 100 bucks on eBay. But I'm new to reefing so ........

Oh... Forgot to mention I cut off the metal supports and mounted it to a piece of plastic and used Velcro to attach the light to plastic.

Save your money and buy a quality light or you can build a nice led that has a full spectrum just my 2 cents

Ok guys what if he is on a budget like 99% of all people?
I have 2 of these fixtures laying around and they work just fine!
He didn't mention what corals he has or will be keeping so "get a better light" just doesn't fit this thread.
I have grown out some mean monti's with this same fixture.
Sps though may not work.
So OP will this light work for you.... yes

The $78 mars aqua shipped free from ebay is a better light or for around $40 more the Kessil A150 cant be beat.

Nanoreef523 · Aug 14, 2015

Thank you guys for your info on the light. I ordered it today. I'll let you know what I think.
Thanks

I ran the kessil a150 on a nano- it was great but take it easy on the settings until your corals are used to it.

This was my first light and yes it grew all my softies and most of my LPS coral. I added some SPS and it didn't do so well so I change the lights out for ATI T5 fixture. Now everything looks grate and is open more than ever. This hobby is like crack you may think you only want to have one kind of coral at the time but we all know that will change. This is y I would save my money and get something a little better.

So I don't know much about keeping corals?
These fixtures are capable of supporting

Any updates ?

I'm a new reefer. That being said I have the Current ORBIT Marine. My Trumpet Corals are doing great. Feather Duster is now a family of 4. And the Zoa colony is growing great. That is my experience. JBJ 24 Nano Cube.
