I’ve been using this light for my reef aquarium since October of 2022. I’ve attached some photos of a few different corals to get an idea of how the corals really react and look under the light. I will give warning that it’s difficult to capture a a true color correct photo with an iPhone.

Initially when I bought the light I was skeptical that it would be enough for a variety of corals with any long term success. I was skeptical if it could penetrate the water 16 inches to the sand bed. So far I’ve had great coloration and excellent growth with this light. It’s an amazing deal and I’m blown away it’s less than $70!

All of the corals pictured originally started as much smaller frags about 6-8 months ago. Hopefully that gives an idea that this light truly is optimal for growth of zoanthids, chalices, soft corals, and LPS. I can’t speak on the success of SPS corals because I’ve never tried to keep any in my aquarium.

This light is durable, easy to program, has a built in timer, and most importantly…. It’s provably grown some high end corals really well! If you’re looking for an affordable powerhouse of light for a nano reef aquarium I’d take a serious look at at this one.

I bought 2 of these to light my 75 gallon reef tank 8 months ago and ill tell you what these lights are probably the most bang for your buck in this hobby. Altough you must read the instructions to get the jist of things to begin with but once you get used to it everythibg is very simple. Light adjustment is very simple, they're very easy to set up, and they run very quiet. They also have they're own timer settings so there was no need for me too hook up a timer to my lights. Even though initially one of the lights was delivered not working but I was able to quickly contact their support team and they sent me a replacement! Why go spend hundreds of dollars on lights for your aquarium when you can just buy these?

I bought this light about 2 years ago when I was not having the best cash flow for my 29gallon tank, I set it at 100 blue 0 white for 12 hours a day....It makes the corals look amazing and just pop, obviously with this cheaper light you don't get a lot of added control as some expensive ai prime or reefled lights but you dont need it, use common sense with coral placement and the corals will love it, i now have a reefled 50 ($230) and ati sunpower t5s but if I ever need to replace my reefled or my t5s I'm going to buy another one of these guys or multiple ones...The only true pain I have with this light is the mount. If you are using a plastic braced aquarium, I had to take a piece of acrylic cut it into a couple of pieces and than silicone them together before I wedged it in to make it so the light would not just fall into the tank, if the manufacture is listening please try to add a plastic rectangle or something to use with this mount. Other than that the light is going strong looks amazing and I could not be more impressed.
