      update would be appreciated, all i see with these budget lights is ppl who just bought it and have brand new frags for a short period and zero followup =/

      @@TheCoralReefTalk I only wish I could figure out how to program it! LOL Ihad it on default mode for w while and dint like some of the setting so I quit using it! So difficult for a non tech savy old woman like me! haha I myself am all about reefing on a budget! I save my money for corals so I have to be cheap! lol

    I’m surprised this light doesn’t get more attention. The price point is insanely low for the value. Thanks for the video! I plan on buying this for my 4g pico once it’s cycled.

    Hi! Thanks for this review. I'm curious about this light, but haven't seen hardly any videos about it, so thanks for making one! It's been about 6 months, so I was curious to see if you've been using the light since you made the video, and what your thoughts are on it 6 months in? At this point, do you feel like it's enough to grow LPS and/or softies?

    Would this work good in a IM 15? Target is anemone, zoas and maybe a torch coral.

    • @TheCoralReefTalk
      @TheCoralReefTalk  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it would be good for that size aquarium. When you set the light schedule on the controller, check it every so often to make sure its still running that schedule. Sometimes power outages can throw it off and you need to turn on the selected time again.

  • @karennation3580

    Can you pull the flex part off the actually mount that attaches it to the tank? My frag is only12 inches front to back and right up against the wall so I cant make that s type of curve you did. I also dont want it to tall so I iwant to saw it and make that part shorter Is the wiring in that part? I love that cylinder ball or whatever you call it that the leds are behind! I think it gives it more spread and looks classy. I would need to buy 3 of them though because my tank is 30 inches wide. Its a 20g long! I sure widh they would have made that part shorter! This is a killer buy and hygger makes good products! Great video, I love them all! Keep it up!

      Thanks so much I'm glad you are enjoying the content. I just took a look for you and it appears like you can probably unscrew it at the base and possibly pry the bottom and fixture from the flex tube but with the controller I don't think the cable can come out completely to make sawing it easy. What you could probably do is make the S curve sideways,like flat to the wall and then turn the fixture out to reach over the tank.

    • @TheCoralReefTalk
      @TheCoralReefTalk  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah with the tank being right up against the wall you are going to need like an inch or so for the tightening screw on the back of the fixture.

    How does the timer work?? If I set to 9 hours it will turn off after 9 hours and then I have to turn it on again myself or it turns on by itself??

    • @TheCoralReefTalk
      @TheCoralReefTalk  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      So when you turn it on and set the hrs it will in your example stay on for 9hrs then turn off. The next day at the same time it turns back on for that same 9hr period, by itself, It works really well.

    • @TheCoralReefTalk
      @TheCoralReefTalk  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it would work fine, I remember doing a 2gallon tank in the past and I had a 30w led bulb , so this light would be worth trying I think. You can adjust the intensity.

    What light/wattage is do you recommend for a 40g breeder setup? Don’t need anything super bright as I’m not trying to grow any acro.

      Im not an expert but I had an AI prime 16HD over a 40g breeder tank and it wasn’t enough. If you’re considering this light I’d say get 2 or 3.

      Aquaticlife USA has a great LED Reef Tank Light. The Core X would be fine if you're not planning on sps. There is also the Core XP but,
