What does everyone think about fluval a reef led 2.0 with wifi controller

I've got the 24" on my 45 gal cube,I like it but the button is a little tricky I have not gotten the wifi yet don't know if I will a little pricey

How bright is it? Does it go all the down and is it dimmable ( for the reason why I asked)

 

[palmerbasskilla]

Yes it gets good light on the bottom of my tank and yes it's dimmable

The wifi controller is a must. The light is very basic without. Blue or all lights and you can only dim those two options. With the wifi controller I do a blue sunrise and then mix the white sunrise a couple hours later and the same in the evening. It allows for bright blue with adjustable white which so far I really like. Gives a cool blueish purple effect for the sunrise and sunset times.

That sounds like a nice alternative to prices that are $100.00 or more although we're talking close to $190.00 when you could get a SBreeflights for another $30.00 or so and shortly it will have Apex connectivity

Here's my schedule. So far so good

I had the led 2.0 on my tank and it seemed lots of people were having issues with the unit. So I just invested the money in an Ai Prime instead of getting the WiFi unit.

The reviews were definitely mixed but I have had this one for two months with no issues. I think a lot of issues were user issues. Although without the wifi controller I would not like the light at all. The schedule makes all the difference

I did have good growth from the 24" on my 15 gal nano but I love my new ai prime. It looks nicer too.
