@@Emanna81 I just love this light, have on my JBJ tank. Thanks for the work you did in this review. I have taken steps to include a ramper, I used a "way2top", there are 4 wires leading to the light, black is negative, I hooked the other 3 together to a dc power dongle, and now have a lamp that ramps in the am to pm. I can still use the lominie remote to set the color parameters, the way2top allows for settings of intensity from 7% in the am to 100% in the afternoon, to a dusk setting in the pm.

Thanks! I really like the light as well. Once you get past the remote it's great! Spectrum and PAR. For the money! I ended up getting 2 more to put over a 10 gallon sps tank that I plumbed into my main display tank. They are growing and encrusting great! Thanks for watching!

[@sylvattica]

@@Emanna81 since when you bought the light you noticed a decrease of power in this? A marine seller I know told me that many people in the marine thread say that this light is okay, but after six months it looses PAR. Did you notice any decrease? It's the only thing I'm concerned about. Thank you 😊

[@um02122]

Thank you for your review, it's one of the best I've seen and I can feel from your voice that you're truly excited by the light, rather than the usual fake enthusiasm for the paid reviews you can see around. I liked how you didn't make a big fuss about the lack of those two screws. Could you tell me what's the device reading PAR and projecting spectrum on your laptop? Is it a Seneye Reef?

[@Emanna81]

Hello, thank you for watching the video. Yes, it is the seneye. I do have to be honest with you. The company did reach out to me to do a review. In return I got the light for free. I did warn them that it will be an HONEST review. I will not trick people into buying things just because. With the only true complaint being the remote I truely liked the light, So much in fact that I personally bought 2 more for a 10 gallon sps tank that I tied into my main system. All 3 are still going strong and have great growth under them. I post alot on Instagram if you are interested in checking it out. Same name. Ezreefin. Thanks again .

Hi great review, When using with a timer does the light remember what you last set it at and turn on your previous settings each time? I ask because I don't want to be resetting the light each time the timer turns it back on.

[@Emanna81]

Yes, the light remembers the setting. So no worries on having to reset it every day. Since this review I have bought 2 more of these lights and have them over a sps 10 gallon. I have had great success with it. They are encrusting and great color. Can't beat the price.

Lol, it would be MORE then enough light! Lol you would just have to turn the settings down and watch the corals for signs of stress such as closed polyps, tissue pressed tight against its skeleton, bleaching, zoas closed up or polyps closed but oral disc still exposed, etc. If you have a par meter that would be your best bet. Make sure to watch ALK. In such a small system, especially if you have a bunch of sps or lps in it. Hope that helps you out a bit.

Thanks , I wish I was more familiar with planted aquariums. If you look at the Light spread I was getting in the 29 gallon bio cube it might help you make a better estimate. The bio cube is 20 inches wide by 21 inches front to back and the light sat about 2 feet from the sandy bottom. You could take those readings and apply them to what you will need for the plants. If you are still unsure feel free to reach out to the company they usually answer back pretty quick. Hope that helps you out a bit.

Brilliant review! Just out of interest im looking at getting into the hobby and i think im gonna go with the evo 13.5 however id like to upgrade the light fairly soon after do you have any recommendations on light upgrades that arent too expensive? I saw your reply about the current orbit light but thats a bit to pricy for me as i wanna see how i go for now on a bit of a budget i think if i really have to i might pay out for the kessil a80 if i cant find anything else THANKS!

[@Emanna81]

Smaller nano tanks are a little harder then larger tanks. Not trying to scare you. The larger the tank the more of a "buffer" you have in the water to resist change. I am currently running a 10 gallon nano now and find that the alkalinity seems to drop fairly quickly. Don't forgey the weekly water change. It's very important in a nano tank. I am running this light now over a 10 gallon frag tank. Standard dimensions and all my frags are very happy. Do you plan on using the 13.5 as a peninsula set up or mount a light on the side wall.? What corals do you plan on keeping in your tank?

[@paulshepperd3755]

I was hoping to mount the light to the side of my tank i really like the look of the longer strip looking lights almost like an “L” shape the longer part being the led’s And im hoping to just have some soft coral and maybe some lps

[@Emanna81]

@@paulshepperd3755 , when you say the "side" are you refering to the side clear glass or the back filter section? I know it's a peninsula style tank. Thats why I ask. I am a fan of the L shape lights as well but have not found one that is powerful enough.im sure one might be out there. The aqua knight and the pixie 30's arm mount streatches to far to the point if mounted from the clear side wall of the tank it would not be center of the tank and possibly stretch past the tank itself being its a fairly thin tank. I have this over a standard 10 gallon tank and I had to mount it like a lagoon style on the side of the tank and not the back. It works but coral placement should be done wisely due to the lenght of the tank and a single light point.

[@paulshepperd3755]

EZreefin sorry yeah im hoping to have a peninsula style tank with the mount coming from the filter section And your right iv been trying to look out for those l shape lights but i cant seem to find anything!

I have one over a standard 10 gallon tank. The arm raises it to a perfect hight. If you remove the arm and retro fit it to fit in the hood, it might be to close to the water. Just something to keep in mind. I grew sps under the light and off center. For lower light demand corals I placed on the out skirts of the tank.

Hey EZreefin. I got this light for a Pico tank and I have it a 1” 1/2 above the 9” deep tank. Do you know a good brightness setting or light setting for that small and compact tank?

[@Emanna81]

Is the tank less then 10 gallons?what are the demensions? I would try 75% blue / uv chanel and 25% white. And then see how the corals react. If they stay closed for more then a day or 2 I would turn it down from there. If you have low light corals put them on the edges of the tank so you don't shock them. ( leptos, Acans, etc. ) if zoas hide there skirts or stay closed,its usually a sign of too much light, or a pest. So look for those signs as well. It's always tricky when you don't have a PAR meter. Little tricks like those will help you when placing coral.

Ya. It is a 2 gallon tank is 9” by 10” or close to that.

[@Emanna81]

I believe it is 75 gallons (US) right? These lights I would only recommend it for a smaller (nano) tank. 2 of these on a 40 gallon breeder is even pushing it. I have 2 on a 10 gallon with sps in it. And one on another 10 gal. For a mixed. Frag tank with corals placed for in certain spots for there light needs. I would look into the black boxes for a tank that size to be honest.

[@chrismasloski4867]

What light do you think is best the Aqua Knight Led Aquarium Light or the Pixie 30 or any other ones you have tried? Going on 20 NUVO FUSION. thinking about running two.

[@Emanna81]

They are both great lights but both have pros and cons. The aqua knight will do the job and has 3 "pucks" of light which makes more points of light which help eliminate shadows. However they do not produce the spectrum the pixie 30 has. Lol it has one source of light the leds are chip on board with a big lense over top like a kessil which provides a more blended light. I have had the aqua knight for about a year now and had great success if you been following the challenge, that is the light on a IM 10 gal fusion. The pixie 30 is doing great as well. I have it over a 10 gallon frag tank and have sps to softies under it and they are growing great! The aqua knight is 8 5/8 inches wide and the pixie is only 4 inches wide. Im not sure if that helps. But some people like a certain look over a tank. Sorry if I wasn't a great help but like I said each one has pros and cons. I'm just being honest with you.

Plz explain if u can. Thanks!! Need help!!

[@Emanna81]

Each channel controls a set of leds. ( one for whites, blues , uv ,reds greens. Etc.) When you press the channel number and press up or down it seems to drop to the lowest setting. So I would pick a channel and click down. You should notice the light get dim.( usually more noticable on white and blue channels. ) then start to count each click up. I believe 10 is the highest off of the top of my head, but don't quote me lol I'm not by my tank right now. I know the remote is a pain to work. In my video that was the one thing I had an issue with also. I hope my reply helps. Best of luck.

If you put it on high and try to change the channels, if you notice it seems to drop all the settings(lower the par.) so I dropped the blue down(which if you look carefully you will see the change I mention.) then clicked it all the way up to high then down 1.Then For White I clicked it all the way up to high then kept clicking it down till I got the ice blue (12k) spectrum.

[@reefer2168]

Can this light handle a fluval evo 13.5 gallon tank?

[@Emanna81]

The dimensions of the evo is 22x11.5×12.5. The prob. With longer tanks is getting the light spread from a single point light which means multiple lights or raising a single light higher, sacrificing PAR levels. Im not sure on that tank how the back wall is. So im not sure on the mounting part, the light power COULD work but you would have to place corals WISELY to there needs. This light better suits rimless cubes, or larger rimless tanks with multiple lights over it. Have you looked into the current orbit marine pro? It has a wide coverage and built in legs that go over tank. They make one for a 18-24 inch long tank which might be better suited for your needs. I hope this helps you out. Thanks for watching my video!

I don't have experience with the P80 so I just looked it up. I don't see why it wouldn't support a anemone.The pixie 30 I have has been growing lps, sps, and softies under it for some time now. It also depends on what size tank and the depth. Hope this helps you a little bit.

I also turned all the channels up on it I have it all turned up manually but I didn’t hit the power all button because I noticed it does make it brighter and I don’t think I need it that bright.

I believe the 2ft mark was from the light to the sand bed of the 29 gallon biocube. It's been awhile since I did this video. But with that size tank I would just spend the extra couple of dollars and get 2 black boxes or the one 300watt black box version. You should be happier with the results. You can get the nice blue spectrum to make your corals pop. I have a 300watt over my 40 breeder tank with the light around 16 inches from the surface and it's plenty light. It brings out the fishes color as well as coral color. 2 of these lights (Lumini)could work but you would have to put them on full power and it would be more white then anything, which would mute or pale out certain colors. You would also be stuck putting the lights in certain places limiting your aquascaping. Hope this helps.

@@bear0118 when you are towards the whiter spectrum 10k, (blue being 20k )you sometimes loose some colors of the coral. It kinda dulls the color if you have them under white lights.You may like the white blue 12k ( I refer to it as a ice blue)you get a great balance of the daylight and coral pop.

Yes black boxes . look up 165 watt teef light or reef led light. You should see what I'm referring to.

How do I set the different settings in the light itself. I have 2 on a 60 gallon live reef tank

[@Emanna81]

You will have to point the remote at the sensor on the ballast and program it from there. Just remember your setting for one and repeat it on the other one to acheive the same spectrum. It should of came with directions to let you know what each channel has on it so you can adjust each one individually.

Hello im looking to get one of these for a standard 10 gallon tank. Do you think this will work ok? Looking to have softies and beginner type corals.

[@AquariumLEDlightLumini]

Pixie 30 is be more than enough for 10 gallon tank.^_^

[@koukimr244]

Can i lay the light pod directly on the glass lid? Since the bracket puts the light more over the front of the tank. I would like to sit it on the glass so that i can center it more. Would this be an issue for anything?

I’m getting a 20x12x14 Nano and was looking for a light.. would 1 do or 2?

[@Emanna81]

I would use 2. I have 2 over a standard 10 gallon tank now and have successfully grown acros with them. A standard 10 gallon tank is 20 and 1/8 by 10 and 1/8 by 11 and 3/8. I also have another 10 gallon with 1 above it and have been successfully grown lps and softies on the mid and bottom layers as well as sps on a rack close to the surface. It may be a pain to program both lights . I found keeping an aluminium foil over the sensor and programming one then switch to the other one was the easiest way to match the spectrums up. Just remember the settings for the first one! Lol best of luck!

Does this luminaire automatically dawn and dusk? I leave her on 24 hours and she goes on and off by herself?

No it dose not ramp up and down. You have to purchase a timer and plug it in to that. It will remember the setting you put it on.

Hey mate, did this light can lightup 20gallon long?

[@Emanna81]

If you use 2 of them. I have 2 on a 10 gallon standard for sps. And ended up with 2 to get the spectrum and par lvls I wanted. I also have 1 over a 10 gallin standard size for lps and softies for months now with no prob. So for a single one, I would go no bigger then a 10 gal. Otherwise you will sacrifice par and light spectrum.

[@Sylvania-Frenchies]

No it doesn't but a standard 2 prong timer will work.

@@Sylvania-Frenchies yes, over a 10 gallon frag tank. I have the sps up high, zoas on the middle rack and glass bottom. Everything has been growing pretty well. The zoas seem to really enjoy it. I have all the channels on 100% EXCEPT the white channel. I have those only 4 clicks up from off. 2 on a 75 gallon might be low PAR And careful placement of the corals for there light needs. Its a great light for nano tanks though!

How deep is the tank? The light is great for nano tanks. (10 gallons or possibly a little larger if it's a cube.) I currently have it on a standard 10 gallon doing great for a frag tank light. And 2 on another for an acro. Dominant 10 gallon.

I'm thinking of buying this light for a Fluval Evo, I was wondering if the all blue spectrum would be enough for a nice zoa garden and maybe some monti to encrust the weir plate? I really want this tank to explode with colour.

[@Emanna81]

Which size evo? I would def. Try to add some whites to add some PAR if its the 13.5 gal. Version. At least a 12K to 14K the leds will give you the "POP" you are looking for in a lighter blue spectrum still. If you def. Want the DEEP 20K blue look If its the 5gal version evo all blues should be fine for the zoas

[@josephpennington1036]

@@Emanna81 it is the 13.5, I'm definitely looking for the 20-25k colour range. I also have seen that lumini makes a 120w light with a goose neck, though I've not seen any reviews for it.

Would this work on a 20 high for softies & LPS?

[@Emanna81]

You might have to have it on high to give good PAR to the bottom. Which in return you would be stuck with a white spectrum instead of a more blue spectrum. Placement would be key as well. Personally I would use a different light. This light is a really good light, but more for a nano tank. Hope this input helps.

Just got the lamp, the problem is everitime it switch off and then on again (with timer) it turn on in full powee mode. That's really bad, because the full power is really2 white and will grow algae in long run. Anyone get the same issue? Ane fast fix for this?
