    You’re my favorite AQUASCAPER just because you’re informative and funny and actually have good tips not useless information. Keep it up and please don’t ever give up on this because eventually I know you will get more popular you deserve it.

    I am personally using one of their lights for over 1 year now and I am extremely happy with the choice that I made, it's way better than a lot of the big brands, and the price is half compared to them!

      EXACTLY! The only reason why it can be hard to recommend to other Aquascapers is that it can be hard to find in other countries except in some asian markets

      Yes! WeekAqua is another great option or alternative to Chihiros. LEDSTAR is another brand that I've been hearing reviews of but I haven't used them personally yet tho.

    Uv actually brings out the plants colours. I switch from my chihiros to the week aqua n my red plants became red from pink. I prefer week aqua now than chihiros or any other led. Love the uv feature.

    UV is most likely for fish colour. Fish colour is veeery different outside than inside. The UV from the sun makes them a lot darker, so over time it should make the fish darker.

    I use the L series. Pretty popular light here in the middle east. I am in uae. After two years of having this light my two cons . The app is extremely crap. And the customer service is even worse. U wont find an english speaker in the whole company. Oh and 1.0 is the old module. Then we all bought or were given the 2.0 module ( a small piece of technology chip ) to install on our lights. Yes we opened the light and installed it as per the instructional video they sent.

    Nice to find a Week Aqua review. I was all set to buy a couple vivid minis for my new tank but came across the Z400d Pro series on Ali express. Seems to have great bang for your buck but like anything on Ali express it's a little cryptic as to what the actual specs of the lights are. Do you have any info that would help me out on my choice? Thanks

      @@AquaristForFun I don't suppose you have used the z400 model have you?
      I guess I'm just looking for some recommendation/advice on what you'd do in my situation. I'm guessing either the vivid mini or the z400 would grow plants (especially the easier types I'm planning in my discus tank) so it kinda comes down to going with a more unfamiliar name and saving maybe £100 Vs going with the Chihiros. The UV does kinda intrigue me too.
      Thanks.

    This light is enough for the tank size?

    • @BiteYoFace

      Those dimensions will put the lumens per litre number around 20 I believe which is around low-medium. Go search up a lumens per litre calculator and compare that back to your plants requirements

    • @AquaristForFun
      @AquaristForFun  Рік тому

      depends on your goals. its should be enough for 90% of the setups, BUT if you aim for shorter internodal growth space for certain plants, aiming for a really red plant growth or planning to use really difficult plants then it would be better to get a light that better fits 3ft tanks, or a stronger lighting system.

      Absolutely, it can be hard to do a proper comparison tho. WeekAqua's P series is like the longer version of Chihiros VIVID 2 which is only 45cm. Also price-wise WeekAqua's offerings are more competitive. I'd love to do a review soon.

    The week Aqua lights tick all the boxes. I think they’re really awesome. Especially aesthetically speaking.
    I’m just a little concerned about how long the company will be around for though, if they disappear will app support continue? This isn’t unheard of. Biopod Smart Vivariums (not biorb) are more or less useless these days. Week aqua do sell cheaper non app versions though, so that’s an option. Although they have slightly less features.
