We are dedicated to making fish keeping easier and more enjoyable. We have extensive knowledge to help you to keep your fish happy and healthy.
We not only provide quality products but also pay close attention to small details for a better fish keeping experience.
395nm: Unlocks additional fluorescence in fish and corals.
400-450nm: Rebalancing the cluster with more blue and deep blue increases fluorescence, color rendition, and provides a new level of tunability in the blue spectrum between crisp and actinic.
665nm: Appropriate use of long wavelength diodes provide light output useful for coral photosynthesis as well as visual color balancing.
Soft Corals (zoanthids, palythoa, mushrooms and leathers): 50-150 PAR
LPS Corals: 50-150 PAR
Hard Corals (stony corals, small polyp stony): 200-500 PAR
Most corals can adapt to a wide range of different light levels when given proper time to acclimate. So we suggest you choose a light which can bring a suitable range for the special type of coral, then observe coral growth and adjust to the best spectrum.
Hassle-free to set an auto program for your lights with the controller. Different spectrums can be set at six time points to create a gradual lighting effect for a whole day.
NICREW HyperReef Light Controller (Sold Separately) can be compatible with HyperReef 50, HyperReef 100 and HyperReef 150. HyperReef 30 is not compatible, please use NICREW dual-channel timer for controlling.
