Ai nano


Grows better than any other bulb or light I have ever used... From the cheapo depot clamp light w/flood bulb, wave point led, mini t5, to a pc light...

Kind pricy but I'm happy...

Just switched from a 6 watt LED to this one and in 3 weeks my chaeto has doubled in size.

Must be some rich reefers in here. I could never spend $300 for a refugium light.

Wouldn't blue light be somewhat useless for algae? I thought they use mostly from the red spectrum.

I recommended that light many times..... Very good choice as well and can be found pretty cheap...

I wasn't arguing that it won't work, I'm just wondering if the blue LEDs are a waste. Try leaving just the blue LEDs on and see how much algae you grow. I guess I'll know soon enough. I have a couple of sol whites that are going over a 40g display fuge.

I have a finex ray 2 - 30" cost about 100$ from amazon. I was using a smaller one and stuff was growing under it like crazy.

They also have a new light called a 'fuge pro' im tempted to try. good amount of LED light coming out for not so much money. Good solid construction too.

I've always liked the results the wavepoint produces so ill grab one of those. Had it in mind to use the eBay one as a shop light anyway if it didn't work out.
