Hey everyone!

I am looking for a specific lighting suggestion for a setup that won't allow for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi based solutions. The aquarium is going to be the IM 200 EXT so I need to span across a 6' tank. What options are out there that wont require the use of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for setup or use? The immediate use of the lighting will be for esthetics as we will be starting out as a fish only tank but later we may incorporate some coral so I would like something that is already going to provided the appropriate output to grow coral.

I appreciate any suggestion you may have.

Thank you.

A little follow up, I am currently looking into the Kessel lighting as it appears they have the features I am asking for. I have not used any of the Kessel lighting before though so unsure of how well the operate. Any input on that would be great as well.

Thank you.

Quanta lights, Two ATLAS and two Helix is what I am running over my IM 150 EXT.

You will need three ATLAS.

They have no app. Intensity can be controlled through a 0-10V controller or switches on the ATLAS.

The only other light I would buy is the Reefis or the ATI Straton X. The Reefi needs Bluetooth and not sure about the Straton.

I’d look into the nicrew lights. The gen 2’s are pretty nice, they use an external controller that plugs into the light itself.
