Do the Nicrews give that good coral pop? Our old bar light from them looks better on coral than our R24s. I'm seeing some say the Smatfarm doesn't have too good of pop either. Still going back and forth lol

Not to confuse you but you might want to consider Smatfarms.
More channels means more ways to adj. to what you like..
After now having both, go smat farm. Outside of the ultra sensitive buttons on the unit it's nice.The not having to buy a separate controller is appealing on the Smatfarms. They're cheaper too for 3x 95w ones VS the Nicrew.
Decisions, decisions
How's the color pop on corals?After now having both, go smat farm. Outside of the ultra sensitive buttons on the unit it's nice.
I'm happy, currently running on mix mode on a 50g cube. Previously had a nicrew and a black box on the same tank over the years. If your good with some disco effect and you can crank up the blue with it for 'pop' I'm personally not into a LOT of blue so if your asking about 'pop' I'm the wrong guy, lol.How's the color pop on corals?
This Nicrew uses 0-10v analog dimming.Hi, anyone using a Nicrew controller can give me some feedback?
I need to know if the light turns on right away on the first line from one of the channel bars seeing in the controller screen?
On that bar value can someone measure with a multimeter the voltage value that the controller is sending to the lamp for that channel?
Thanks.
Yes opening a post here on this tread was only to ask to possible owners of the Nicrew controller if they can measure the voltage giving by the first line of a bar so to compare that value to my tests.Reef Pi dimming test problems and Raspberry pi native two hardware PWM vs PCA9685
Hummm... I see what you are saying, but the 10K resistor there will be in parallel with the already existing led and 4K7 resistor from the board witch will lower even more the resistance. Let's calculate more or less: 1 / 1000 ohm (new resistor) + 1 / 470 ohm (one from the board plus the led...www.reef2reef.com
Hmm you already went though this with def better minds than mine.
Okay just got the timer and set it up super easy with my nicrew 50 for my small 10 gal tank, if anyone has more suggestions lmk also I can update you guys as I go
I know this is late but what do you mean black box lights?I have them on my 120. They are OK, but I've had better growth & par out of black box lights. The par they claim is way overrated.
Amazon lights. Go to Amazon and type in reef led lights. They are the cheap rectangle lights for 90 to 175. They don't have the more expensive led spectrum of the higher price lights. But many people swear by them and others say a fire hazard.I know this is late but what do you mean black box lights?
Look up mars aqua, willis, viparspectra. They are just cheapish no frills led lights.I know this is late but what do you mean black box lights?
