The introduction of a new light to the market is an exciting thing to most reef keepers and I was not an exception. Many of you know me from the "Real Black Box Study" thread where we all were introduced to a new light , the Noopsyche K7 Pro2.
In the study Noopsyche wanted to compare their lights par/spectrum to 3 other well know lights,
the AI 26hd,Kessil 360x,Radion XR15w pro, after getting the numbers from the lights and comparing them we realized that the K7 was not only a good equal to these other big brands, they have the promise of being a direct alternative to buying these other big named and let's not forget big priced lights.
I'll admit that I was sold on these lights after working with them and decided to get these for my new personal tank a 48in x 24in x 16in deep blue 80g shallow tank. Since the decision was made to use these lights why not do an open book study into how well the K7 grew coral from a fledgling new reef tank to a mature exotic ocean in a box and monitor coral growth with color variances here in real time.
I want a real open study so anyone please chime in on settings and recommendations on what coral we want to grow from infant to a big beautiful colony of life please do so.
My tank is almost 1.5 month's in and about ready for the first coral and will start the study once the first coral is introduced.
Once the lights are shipped I'll set them up and start taking some pictures.
P.S.
For those people wandering why this is not in the Black Box thread has to do with fact that this is one study on one light and on my personal tank. This is not comparing other lights to each other as in the BB study as only one light will be studied here to see how well it does or doesn't perform.
I have all the time in the world to devote to doing this and I love it!!
