Nice! However the T5 * is pretty important haha, any LEDs will “grow” coral with banking t5s doing all the work
I’m wondering if this would be even simpler? Or no because it has the 24v? Or wires have to be placed a certain way?If anyone is looking to connect this bad boy to apex for cheap -
I successfully connected to apex using one of these 4 pole 3.5mm to speaker wire. Basically cut the end of an ethernet cable and use the wires from pins 3-ground, 4-Left or White and 8-Right or Blue. ONLY 3 WIRES. The ethernet cable's (cat5) wires are color coded so you can easily see which wire is which pin. The adapter is also clearly marked Left, Right, Ground, and 24v. YOU DO NOT NEED THE 24V.
Various cables on bulk reef etc will not work because they are 3pole stereo plugs.
Here is a picture of the adapter -
So with the 0-10v with you setting it up in Neptune with the light shut off with a schedule? Or no?yeah you have to manuall shut off
I'd just go with the Kessil to Apex cable. I had a pair of Nicrew 150's and that did it just fine.I’m wondering if this would be even simpler? Or no because it has the 24v? Or wires have to be placed a certain way?

I’ve had both lights on my IM15. I eventually replaced them with Kessil A360WE.i suppose for a mixed reef it doesn't need to be super powerful par but i do have some sps and i would like to know how much par these things put out for the future so many budget leds im torn between these nicrew hyperreefs the ocean revive and the noopsyche k7
Okay cool that’s what I’m going to do not only is it cheaper to do the cable instead of the Nicrew controller it makes it easy to use with my apexI'd just go with the Kessil to Apex cable. I had a pair of Nicrew 150's and that did it just fine.
You still selling these?I did not try the lego because i was worried about the weight distribution of the screws putting strain on a single spot on the glass. This solution spreads out the pressure points.
This solution is also clear/not noticeable while evenly distributing the load.
This is also turn key for the buyer and works on most mounts that generally do not fit on a rimmed tank.
I have a
HIPARGERO LED Aquarium Light
And this solution also works on the hipagero.
No cutting, sanding etc. Pretty much turn key. Shipped to your home. Still cheaper than buying another mount or going with a branded light.
Just ordered 3 of the 150w today.I have the 150W.
Glad it worked out. Hopefully it was as easy overall!With some advice from other reefer on this forum I was able to successfully add my nicrews to my apex with the kessil cable from neptune.
i find easier ways to do things on the apex after doing it the hard way first. i was waiting for the kessil cable to come in so i tried to program. wish i would have waiting the wizard option is so much easier than writing code and using profiles.Glad it worked out. Hopefully it was as easy overall!
