Neptune GRO Refugeum light

[hoytoyed]

I’ve got an AI fuge in one tank and it grows buckets of chaeto very quickly. I bought a Neptune Gro for my new tank and honestly it looks like the chaeto in that tank is not doing well. The AI light is significantly brighter to the naked eye too. The AI is twice the price, but if the Gro wont grow anything……I think I’m going to order another AI Fuge.

I have to say I am running 2 Neptune GRO lights on separate tanks and my cheat grows great as well as my dragons breath. Just goes to show every tank is different. What might work for one may not work for another.

Amazon product ASIN B01LX1EO3WJust seems very similar to this light with similar spectrum leds used, 40 leds at 12w vs 84 leds at 25w. Probably going to just do 2 acke if/wen my current cob led dies, 1 on top and one on the side glass for $50 and seems like it will get more even coverage, just an opinion though

It's the E200S. The E200 is 55 watts and about twice the size. I have the E200 and it grows chaeto great. Programming it is a huge PITA though connecting to my phone is the hard part but once connected it's easy to program. I run mine 100% all channels (there are 4) 0130-0700, drop whites to zero everything else 100 from 0700-1900 from 1900-0130 no blues or whites. The mounting arm must have changed cause mine it rock stable if not a little stiff to adjust. I have mine about 2 inches from the water line now.

What is your settings in the advanced tab for the refugium light because mine burns my chaeto if I leave it on for 12 hours so I need to turn my brightness down and I don’t know how to set the settings to do it

There is no setting to turn down the Neptune Gro light. It’s on or off. Try raising it up or pushing down the chaeto.
