Hi all. Do any of you know anything about or have any experience with the Aquatic LIfe XS UV Reef LED Fixture? Specifically, I have 3 of the 14" XS UV x 25 LED 91W Item # 420309. I purchased a used 300 gallon setup and it came with 3 of these units. I can seem to find real world long term reviews on these guys. I'm after whether or not people had success with these lights and whether I can have success with them, contingent upon good husbandry. If I can avoid buying new lights right now then I will absolutely avoid doing so. But if these lights wont suffice because they were built before we had the appropriate LED knowledge to grow coral, then I won't even run them. Thanks in advance.
 
I ran 2 14” and 2 36” on my tanks for a couple of years. I liked the lights and they do work well, plenty of power. I still have them tucked away in a closet. I upgraded my lights as I prefer Apple and you have to use windows to program them. I don’t know if Aquatic Life still supports the program for the lights, you can check with them, they have good customer service.

Thank you for your input.
 
Well I managed to find the software online. I'll get these setup and then rent a par meter from BRS to see what they are capable of.

Where did you find the software can’t seem to find it?
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
