I appreciate the manufacturer’s responsiveness in this thread. I recently installed an Edge 63. I’m very happy with the hardware, build quality and design. I look forward to being able to use the app when it’s updated. Haven’t been able to get it working in the original release.
I use this as a supplemental light. I have a 6 ft SPS dominant tank with 30” depth so getting light deep into the tank is important. My primary light source is two Aquatic Life T5 hybrids with two Kessil A500s and three a360xes. Lots of light but I found I still wanted the additional fluorescence of a high output blue LED so I added the Edge 63 in the UV/blue spectrum. Even with all the other lights on at mid-day, I still see a noticeable difference in coral color with the edge on. That surprised me. I thought it would make a difference in the morning and evening as my primary lights are ramping but was pleasantly surprised to see it put out enough UV to cut through mid-day PAR levels that exceed 600 at the top of my tank.
One thing I’d like to see is an accessory that enables hanging this on a tilt. RB makes one for users who mount the Edge on an existing Meridian fixture but not when using the edge alone. I mounted mine behind the primary T5 hybrid suspended from above, and liked the blue enough that I wanted to tilt it forward to illuminate more directly on the corals. I rigged up a diy hack using cable ties to pull one of the cable management clips on the front rail toward the top of the suspension kit. Does the trick but it would be nice to have a manufacturer accessory that does this.
