Testing The CHEAPEST LED Reef Tank Light On Amazon!

[@elslick]

Would love to see what a diffuser sheet would do to the par spread. If you could break it up and spread it might be worth it for a small or backup light.

[@danielfox6709]

Finally someone to include the Australian price!!! YOUR A GOD

[@animetronic6689]

I’d suggest getting some nemguards for those mp40. The front is wide open, and I suspect that your earmuff wrasse got his tail stuck in one of them. Just what I would do,

[@analog3066]

Bought two 54watt of these lights to fill the side's of the tank. swapped the white leds out for more royal blues and 2 cool white. 20,000k instead of the red and green. Then a separate power supply so there's not 240 volts over the tank. Cheap safe solution for adding extra par over the tank corners.

[@elslick]

Genius level idea. Would be great for hitting those tricky shady spot in some reefs.

[@Jshark82]

Will u plz do a review on the coral life led love your show keep reefing

[@dominicmosley8283]

Bought one of these for my sump, turn it on then threw it in bin ( crap ). Another good video, wish you've of done this 2 years ago. Lol

[@dmvreefer817]

how were you able to capture such great colors at 4:03? are you using a phone with a coral lens or a traditional camera?

[@ReefDork]

That was my Fuji XT-3 - possibly with an orange lens, I can't remember as it's old footage. When I use a lens, it's the dd coral colours gen 2

[@Jornfromtjorn]

Remove the secondary lenses and see if there is better PAR spread

I've watched your video on how much you spent on your setup ( quite frightening!!) I'm just going about get the equipment for my first reef tank on a budget, made a great start as I've been given a 300 litre acrylic tank totally free! Think I'll skip these lights though, the maxspect jump looks good around £200

Thank you.

Do u have to hung it as my manncoon love swinging on lights that why I’m looking for a replacement

[@Crobisaur]

I would love to see this test done with the light mounted in a fixed position, I'm not doubting your test procedures but I think having the bulb fixed would give a more precise measurement.

[@ReefDork]

It would have been different (better) with water in the tank too...

[@Ankaru1320]

Lominie Aquarium led light 4 channels dimmable 30w or 20w fish tank light Pixie 30 or 20. with bracket for saltwater fish and reef coral tank 50 or 35quid light that does better job then kessil . you should check it out

Quite a Phallic looking colony in that position :-)

[@animetronic6689]

If you hadn't sold your purple tang, how large would you have waited for him to get before deciding that he had officialy outgrown your tank? Thanks!

[@ReefDork]

I don't think he'd ever get too big. Possibly I guess, but aggression is always likely to be the main problem

[@animetronic6689]

@@ReefDork Oh. Live aquaria said that they need at least a 180, so I assumed it was because they got 3 inches bigger than yellows. Thanks!

Hi Alex, quick random question but value your opinion. Is there a magnetic frag rack that can go on the overflow box (both magnetics will be in the water) ? Want to be able to fix a flat ish rock onto it covered with mushrooms that my clown fish host.

Yes, loads - check out 'the polyp pros'

@@ReefDork Zetlight LED ZA1201 Its a budget light

[@rudra7615]

I tried 2 from Amazon Aquaknight which is now called LXQIY which I had for 1 year. Surprising it did the job, but I didn't get much growth but it looked nice, kept my corals alive and tbh I recommend as a budget first time light for a nano 2nd one from Amazon was the lominie reef light, more variety in lights and did the job, but didn't grow my corals that much..but again, a good light for nano tank beginners.

[@Mike__B]

Random brand Amazon lights... lets see they tell you how many watts each LED is rated at and that equals the wattage of the light (check), other brand lights that use the same exact graphics as them (check), other brand lights that use the same exact copy and paste description of it (check).... yup sounds like your typical sold from mass distributor Chinese manufacturer and resold by "importer" That said, maybe you remove all but 1 or 2 of the white LEDs, and yank the lenses and it won't be so obnoxiously and a bunch of them may work over a tank... but problem not. The Kessil A80 it was compared to as power is NOT a bright light at all and I'd only use that over the tiniest of nano tanks.

[@Krom1hell]

I bet even if you sneeze some bread crumbs on it and it's price will raize.... but 3 of them will do for a small aquarium.....For me, I'm going for a fluval....

[@ChrisSmith-ts8tw]

Id be really worried about the internal components in a super cheap bulb like this given its higher power requirements, this is a chinese electrocution or potential fire hazard just waiting to go. I really would would beware about buying something like this, is it really worth burning your house down or electrocuting yourself to save a few quid on an aquarium light? I'd always go for an external driven LED that I can seperate the potential hazards,something like this is just screaming short circuit. Theres no way this has been safety tested to any sort of standard

[@ChrisSmith-ts8tw]

On top of that your potentially running 240V through that metal enclosure if something goes awry

[@richardportelli1983]

Color rendition is rubbish, better off with a viparspectra if you want cheap lighting.

[@j.fish3917]

[@MrDon967]

i mean i don't want that cheap of a light any plans on making video that would cover 2-3 lights for a 6ft tank for under $100 i don't mind spending eve $150 for a 6ft 125g tank in lighting but i know for a damn fact i ain't spending a whole tax refund on just lights

[@madsbech-hansen2746]

those cheap lights do grow corals quite well. For results, tjek out my build thread on reef2reef or here on youtube. www.reef2reef.com/threads/pico-reef-vase.770808/
