Does anyone here just the nicrew hyper reef 100w lights? If so how well do they grow coral? I have been doing some research and they are within the spectrum of the radions. I am struggling to keep corals In my system, I have a 65 gallon main display. 36x18x24 deep. I had 2 xr30 but had a few LEDs burn out and kept getting the red flashing light in the am. Had to unplug the light and plug them back in to get them to work properly and that was a pain so I just removed them. I put a black box but it melting coral at 40% so I removed it. I currently have 2 16in reef brite xho over my tank now. Can anyone help me out? All my parameters are close to being perfect but still having issues with growing coral.

Have you verified light output with a par meter?

I used a 100 watt nicrew on my 32 for 4 years before it burnt out on me, it grows coral very well. For a 65 gallon, I would use 2 and it should work well IMO.
