Coming Soon: HyperReef Gen 2 is expected to be released in Canada and Europe (including the UK) in the first half of 2025.

That's what the mail they sent says. No mention to AliExpress.

I have a 75 gallon I am going to set up in a couple months. Would I need 2 of the 200 w lights or would 2 150 w be better?

 

[Tangy Reefer]

I have a 10g IM Nuvo cube and wanted to upgrade to these lights from some random led fixture I have currently.

Will the 100 be enough for soft and lps coral?

Thanks!

More than enough

Well I'm still watching it but thus far, alkalinity consumption has gone up. Looking like these things putting out more spread and/or intensity than the Reef Breeders might not just be my imagination.

Way more spread than my Reef Breeders and less of a disco ball effect. That is great that alk consumption is up! More photosynthesis and coral growth!! I am actually really liking the stronger whites on the AB+ during the peak hours and then having a more blue during the morning and evening. I get to view my corals under both everyday. And like you mentioned earlier it may just be my eye, but my corals coloration seems better and they really pop. My par readings were really good and there weren't any real hot spots, which I had some with my Reef Breeders.

2 of the 150 is enough but if you have the budget then having more power with the 200s won’t hurt. You can turn them down if needed

I am thinking about it. Its the Photon v2pro 50

Yea, I'm surprised but I think I agree. The light is just so much more blanketing the whites don't bother me as much. And the blues permeate the tank at night.

I also had the reefbreeder photon v2 48 (non Wi-Fi) about year n half ago & also think these nicrews are better color and spread

Just got my 150 gen 2 and controller. Am I understanding the controller programming that in order to reduce the intensity, I just have to reduce each color? For example, the AB+ setting has blues and violets at 100 and white, red and green at 25 and if I want to cut intensity in half I need to reduce blues and violets to 50 and the others to 12?

I don’t want to burn my corals with max settings and not sure if there is an acclimation setting on the controller.

That would make sense

Correct understanding. Think of it as a dimmer dial for each LED color.

Certainly not trying to state the Nicrews are anything special but since changing my lights, my alk consumption has gone nuts. I keep upping my dosing and the alk keeps dropping. I think I can notice the difference in growth rate too but that's harder to be sure about.
