growth reviews / progress updates?

[That Crusso Kid]

Some solid growth happening for sure! Any plans on development of a hybrid fixture incorporating T5 lighting with the K7's?

Sure, we have hybrid but still improving. We will show it on MACNA.

4 months of growth on a slimer acro and a different acro.
I only run two noops on a 120gall 48x24
I also don’t test my tank water much. In the last four months I haven’t tested the water besides one alk and calcium test too adjust my doser. I’m sure growth would be better if I tended to my tank more

I'm really pleasure to see its growth;)

I put back on T5s after a few months. Maybe it was impatient, but bulbs seem unbeatable to me.

I went back and added T5s also. My corals looked good but wasn’t growing. The T5s with the LEDs have been on for 5 months now and my corals are growing like crazy.

I'd like to add the hybrid to eliminate shadowing, but the price is just too high for what it is. The K7 Pro II is a good value compared to the competition. You can't say the same for the hybrid fixture. The Aquatic Life is actually cheaper than it! After you add bulbs, it's about $500 not including the K7s. The small differences in the Noop K7, while nice, are unnecessary and not worth the added cost. It still doesn't have App support.
Add K7s, mounts, remote, your now at $880 with a plug-in remote with no App support. That's insane! You can run two Viparspectras for under $250. You can buy a 8 bulb T5 fixture and forgo LEDs altogether for $350. The Noops are not ending up to be a great value considering the growth with SPS is slow. They almost require T5 supplementation. From experience I can say Noops do not grow SPS coral faster than a Viparspectra or a full set of six to eight T5HO in my experience.
