Hi. As above the lights look fab. I’ve the same leds. Could you send me a snap shot of your lights setting too? Cheers.
Hey I have a 80 gallon with 2 fluval marine lights do you think a bubble anemone will do fine with these lights?I am happy with the lights.I have 2 Fluval marine over my 85 gallons for 7 months now,no other lights.

For all those curious I’m doing a review of the Fluval Marine reef 3.0 for a low tech light it’s pretty good, the app is decent although without a par meter you might find yourself lost adjusting the spectrums the light by itself will support softies however for any LPS and SPS corals I would strongly suggest extra lighting seems pretty durable has a excellent water resistant rating of IP67 so it could be submerged and still be fine, I would recomend having this light directly above the water using the mounting legs it gives you and unobstructed from water as this light is not the strongest but not the worst by the time you get to 18” the PAR reading is around 55 so water penetration is not the best, At 3": PAR=390, At 12": PAR=102 this will get the job done for softies the blue spectrum on this light is fantastic the app has a sunrise and sunset mode witch works great I would recomend this light to new hobbyists as it is easy and user friendly and can maintain softies and if you want to get in to LPS or SPS and anemones you will need to add lighting that about sums it up thanks for reading feel free to hit me with more questions! The pictures are corals I have maintained under this light and this light only.
Sorry to revamp this thread.
I just purchases one of these lights for my 30 gallon tank. Right now the deepest part to my sand bed is 18".
I wanted to ask those who have similar tank size/ sand depth what settings the are running? I assume this will also depend on what's in my tank.
I'm just running one of the preset modes (deep sea glow) because I have no idea what my tank needs/can take. The only life I have in the tank are a BTA, Condy nem, small/medium Pom Pom Xenia and 2 clowns. The condy is still getting situated and that will probably continue with the new light. The BTA has been stationary fairly high with the original lighting (I assume this will change with the new light) and the Xenia has been in the middle grounds since acclimating and not sure if I will need to move it which I've been leaning towards because I just want to keep a small garden of it and not have it take over my LR.
Sorry for the rambling, the wife is annoyed of all the fish talk.
Any comments are appreciated!
Can I have your colour % if possible???i can confirm that this light is outstanding for softies and the app is great because i spent a week getting the settings right and now i leave it alone
