Don't know where your math is from but mine shows 800.00 > 375.00.

Still a 2 for 1 proposition if you compare prices lol

Wasn’t the knockoff close to the now g5 price. Wasn’t adding the arm value. Was referring to link in the first post of the thread. Like I said “choices” if I have to make one between a knock off or the original close to the same price I’m going w the original despite paying a lil more.

Noop at $165 will save you even more if you just want a good light cheap.

This light is such an awkward middle ground. Still expensive with no support and a questionable app apparently.

I guess I just don't understand the appeal but so far they are not flying off the shelves.

Many ways to successfully light ur reef. Some take a frugal approach and others use sales and coupons to get equipment to meet their specific goals.

Yes, did anyone acctualy buy and test this, or is this only about usa "assembly" superiority?

No the price is nowhere close to the g5, I don't know why your trying to make that false claim.

Ya, I was referring to V3 noop.. they are a sponsor here so you can get some support and such and 2 year warranty. I assume as long as they remain a sponsor, they would honor it.

I am a frugal reefer but I see better value in a V3 noop then the knockoff G5. It is cheaper and has support here and probably a legit warranty.

ALSO the reef uno 2.0 PRO right now is $360 - I have seen some nice tanks under this brand. I would also consider this a better value. It has support and a 3 year warranty. Price is pretty much identical to the offbrand G5. G5 with shipping is $417 and Uno 2.0 PRO is $360 + $55 mount + $15 shipping for mount so $430

As a frugal reefer I am always 'shopping around' and waiting for deals to drop.

Buying a brand new G6 is out of budget for me. It won't keep me from putting food on the table but I just can't justify it. So I get it... luckily there is always used equiptment available to buy or a large array of other lights that all still grow coral for different budgets.

 

[Fishingandreefing]

Yes, let's continue to support companies that provide absolutely nothing to the hobby. No innovation. No R&D. Very little, if any, support when you need it.

Rewarding thieves isn't on the top of my list personally. Just go get the Viparspectra Black Box and be done if you want "budget conscious" lights

Hmmm they wanted $145 to “fix” my Nero 5 so
