Just saw this on Amazon: LED Aquarium Light - 100Watts Coral Reef Light Dimmable Fish Tank Light with Timer for Marine Saltwater Aquarium Tanks with SPS / LPS Corals- Hipargero A100 AquaSpace https://a.co/d/bInif80

I am a big fan of budget lights such as SmatFarm G5 and also used Hipargero's 30w light on my frag tank.

This new one from them looks great. Cheaper than Nicrew 100w and comes with an interesting mount.

At time of posting, the light is $151 with a $30 coupon. You can buy 3 of these for the price of one radion G6 XR15 =P.

Looks interesting.

Would like to hear a first hand review on it for sure.

I question what these will look like and the spectrum they will provide. They don't appear to have any type of green in the layout whatsoever.

The emitter/channel list looks similar to the Smat Farm lights, which I have, minus one channel, the green channel.
It has been said that the Smat Farms can benefit with the addition of some 470nm bars, which I agree with... I wonder if these will be the same way, while also lacking any green in the spectrum.
