Nicrew SuperReef 50W

Hi all

Someone suggested these lights - Amazon product

I have purhcased them off Amazon, can return if need be. I am just wondering if these will suffice for my start into corals. Not in a rush, but they were the final ones on Amazon (for the time being).

I have a 65 gallon tank, I believe it is about 24" deep.

Open to other options, I was looking at Aqua Illumination lighting, but the price did scare me a bit (however, if those are the right lights, I will return these).

Appreciate any and all opinions,

nicrew is a reputable budget brand. What are you planning to grow? a 50 watt light is unlikely to provide strong penetration to the sandbed. Based on my research, the best bang for your buck is Noopsyche LEDs. You can't get cheaper, proven lighting power from what I've seen.

I use nicrew brand, its a good light, but 50 watts is way too small for your tank. I would suggest the 200 watt nicrew.

It seems the 200W isn’t available in Canada or at least at the moment.

Does anyone know these lights - https://a.co/d/3eeH3Zr

Would the AI Hydra 16 x 2 be sufficient for a tank of this size. I am just concerned about depth I guess.

Thanks

Two nicrew 100 two puck or 150 three puck will grow anything in that

Thank you.

Sadly Amazon Canada does not have those anymore.

I am trying to find equivalent and am having trouble.

I used two Viparspectra (there’s a few other manufacturers of exactly the same on Amazon, but you have to hang them. $100 each.

 

[ryan.wilson24]

Thank you, I’ll take a look!

 

[ryan.wilson24]

Would either of these suffice do we think?

After much digging, I was able to find some used Nicrew Hyperreef 150W. I bought two of them.

Appreciate the help!
