get a nero 5 and run it at lower flow. then you have room to turn it up when your corals grow out. nero 3 will not give you much overheadMy dt is 65 g and it’s its 36” by 18” by 24” o attached a fts so you can get a scope for the scape

Do you run them at full power? Wondering if I upgrade I should turn them both down to try not to overwhelm my corals too much.I have a 5ft 160 g DT with 2 AI blade grow. Underwater par bottom 125 ish and top around 350. This would be more than plenty for most corals. The spectrum on the grow is better for corals. The blue’s are nicely balanced and the red green yellow etc is there but very little. Enough for those colors to pop, and not to much for nuisance algae growth. Only downside for me is that they don’t dim and Mimick sunset and rise very well. 1% is alot of light allready. Also no moonlight function, although the app mentions moonlight but it’s pretty useless if u ask me.
yes full powerDo you run them at full power? Wondering if I upgrade I should turn them both down to try not to overwhelm my corals too much.

I wouldn't call the Glow an "accent" light. It provides an important part of the light spectrum to the corals that the Grow alone is missing.
Yes, you can absolutely "grow coral" with nothing but 450nm blue LEDs, but your coral won't color up like it will with a better, "fuller" spectrum.
Agreed, I only used Grow and not Glow. Heard that you don't get much par from the Glow anyway.Grow: 400-500nm
You want "pop" and windex? Get a glow. You don't need to though. There's few corals in our tanks that need to be inundated with those deep blues, that's the deeper water stuff. For most of the stuff that's in our tanks, the grow's spectrum will do.
thinking of also doing this. the helix looks like a great offering. Just missing the adjustability of each individual channel, but you get WAY more light with it.I have a blade for my tank. I decided after talking to people on this to upgrade and go with Quantas helix. It’s affordable and I gotta say. I’m impressed. I’d say take a peek at that.
Yeah. I mean there is an adjustable dial. I picked up a Kasa smart WiFi plug and just scheduled on and off times. It make it as good as any other light at there. Maybe better.thinking of also doing this. the helix looks like a great offering. Just missing the adjustability of each individual channel, but you get WAY more light with it.

I'm sold on it, just wondering if I can get away with 1 on a softie tank. 36x15x16, thoughts?Yeah. I mean there is an adjustable dial. I picked up a Kasa smart WiFi plug and just scheduled on and off times. It make it as good as any other light at there. Maybe better.

uhh still looks like day lightLike I said, you can grow coral with nothing but 450nm blue, but as to what the corals "need" to grow and color to their fullest potential ...
... I stand by my original statement.
