Amen!!, I just started reefing and I am broke, this hobby can get crazy expensive! Thanks for the vid!
yes it can be really expensive! any questions let me know. I have never had a ton of gear. I kept it simple, and have simplified even more. I'm using canister filters now and love them. no more sump.
@@ROTTERtube great video!
I am one of those lads who kept it simple as well and went the canister filter and HOB skimmer way. I am happy.
I find that the 100W versions are perfect for a 24” deep tank. With white set to 15% and blue set to 50%, you’ll get around 100 par on the bottom/center. You’ll just have to add more for width obviously.
If you go with the Nicrew 100w and up…. I highly recommend the programmable controller. Full auto ramp up & ramp down time settings is a great feature.
thanks for the info. I have the controller.
Your Dog is so cute. 🥰 He like the light also.
Good to see you back. I was curious about these lights
Thank you for your video. Was debating and agonizing over new light costs. Really like your pragmatism. Beautiful tank . I plan to check these lights out. Totally agree with the insane prices of lights and hardware .
Glad it was helpful!
For the money these are good but my tank cost me nearly 4K to set up if not more, I stopped counting, I cheaped on lights the first time round, had growth but super slow, switched to AI primes and growth took off and I had more growth in a month than a whole year of fluval marine lights I had, I had two of the 59w lights on a 1200 long tank, I now have just two AI 16 primes
Some people don't have a lot of money. I had thriving corals with really inexpensive Finnex LED light strips. I was surprised. They did much better than my T5s.
That's pretty good flow on your system.
Really like these Nicrew lights. I spent a small fortune on lighting for my 6 foot reef last year. Had I known about these then, I might have saved myself some money.
sell them recoup some of the money and get the nicrew lol thats what i would do.
@@BL_Denniexactly what im about to do myself. Selling 2 of my 5 primes to buy 3 nicrew 150s for my 6ft 150
These lights are awesome dude,I have 2 of them on my 55 gallon
Dude I agree , the price for of these lights now and days is crazy especially with everything being sold separately wtf is up with that lol
yeah man
Thank you man! I’m new to the hobby and I can’t justify paying Kissel prices. I have a 75 gallon and your video helped me.
These LED companies will try to get every dime out of you that they can... Love my T5s
Cool vid and cool lights. Get some corals soon!
I used to have T5's and loved them. Just got sick of looking at the thing hanging over the tank. I still have them.
Man that’s one of the reasons I have been out the hobby for over a year everything is so expensive
Coming from the plant world where I can get a 900 watt LED grow light, that get's 2.8umol/J efficiency that can run 24/7 at 90 degrees in 70% humidity, and light up 25sq/ft perfectly for $799 with the hanger and dimmer, I'm blown away at the insane prices for aquarium LED's in the 50-100 watt range.
Make sure they work for Coral, and these weren't that much at all and work great.
@@ROTTERtube definitely, that’s how I ended up here. I figured someone had to be making a reasonable coral light for a far better price than Radion or Kessel, seems like these are a great choice!
yeah... kessil, charging extra for functions that other lights already have....
how do you like the kessils? I will admit, I'm tempted. so much money. I love my lights and don't need the kessils. just wondering.
@@ROTTERtube
honestly, kessil doesnt offer much if any support or ideas on how to use them. I am new to this, I dont know what corals need. I have noticed some OTHER manu's offering tips and advice, but not kessil. to go along with that is kessils philosophy of having every function as an extra you have to pay for, that other manu's include in the price. so, wish I had not bought into kessil.
You can use them with the kessil controller. I have a old 360 and 2 nicrew connected together
yeah, heard that. This one is $45 and is amazing! I'm sure kessil is more $.
2:37 Kessils! Darn you!!
You’re hilarious😂
Would these work for a 100 gallon tank I was going to try and get 2 of them it’s a fairly shallow tank like 2 feet maybe I’m looking for a cheaper alternative
YES! I have 2 of these on my 125 gallon in this video.
@@ROTTERtube awesome! I’m ready to get mine set up!
“Guys, not for you”, canine replied, “That’s what you think!”
i have a 150 gallon would like to grow coral. should i get 2 of the 150 watts or three. i already have a 50 watt on smaller tank i could throw in the middle if needed too
I think 2 is good then. how wide? my tank is 6' wide and 2 is perfect
Hey man so are you still using the nicrew and how do you like them after a whole year ? Do you recommend over an ai prime 16hd ?
I do love these lights especially after I found out the sweet spot via the PAR meter I got. I don't know much on the AI primes. These Nicrews are great and very powerful and not expensive at all.
@@ROTTERtube i just got a pair of 50 watts do you think they will be good enough on a 16 inch tall tank to atleast grow softies, zoas and some lps ?
depends on how deep the tank is, what lids you're using, etc. but, they should be fine.
Reicht bei einem 1,21m Aquarium eine von den led-lampen oder lieber 2?
Any disco ball effect on the sand with these lights?
yes, a bit
I’m thinking about getting the two 150 w for my 55 gallon reef tank. Would that be enough or is it too big (size and wattage)?
How long is the tank, 4 feet? 2 should be fine. If you are thinking of getting just one, that may work and you can always add a 2nd.
How's the shimmer?
really good.
Are the light fans always running or do they turn on when needed
I think always on, but I have not looked into it. you hear nothing at all.
It's all over priced bs if it was reasonably priced more people would be in the hobby and buy more stuff and everyone would be happy
New in the hobby.. this is fine for anemones?
yes
What are your blue and white levels? And what controller are you using ?
I have not measured PAR and I bought the controller .... same brand. Need to set that up.
hi steve ... i have set up a 24x24x12" shallow reef looking for a nice light for it do you think one of there would be ok or would it be to much
Hi! One would be good. You can also get a light with 2 LED's in one unit instead of 3. I have 2 of the 3 LED units on the 6' long tank so that is one unit per 3' and it's perfect.
thats great thank you .. for some reason im not getting your videos and the comment you replied so i am missing everything
What does everybody think about the coralife seascape light. I need a cheap light that will grow coral. Only have a beginner 30 gallon tank…
Cheap is fine especially for a small tank but read reviews on whatever you buy.
also is there a tint for the reflection when the pumps are off. my only beef with leds
a tint?
@@ROTTERtube when looking from the top with pumps off the LEDs kill my eyes. Something to tint the lenses to Shield the glare.
Hey I have a 40 breeder which is lps and softies only and I don't know if should get 2 50 watt lights, 2 100 watt lights, or 1 150 watt light. What would you say is best for my setup? The tank is 36" long x 18" wide
That's always a tough call. You'd have to see what lighting requirements the corals have. You can always dial down the power of the lights if you need to if you get the higher wattage. Also, get what you can afford.
I ended up with one 150w over my breeder. I don't know par levels or the best intensity settings yet. But they definitely make the corals pop
@@anthonyclarkson8480 I don't know the PAR level either. I find that level 1 or 2 works best (out of 6 being the highest.)
@@ROTTERtube yeah, i ended up seeing some of my more sensitive corals die from accidentally leaving the light on at 100% thinking they weren't all that powerful
@@anthonyclarkson8480 any update? looking at a 150 watt for my 40 breeder too
Would one of these be ok for a 40 gallon breeder?
yes totally.
Is one of these too much spread for a 15” cube?
yeah, get the smaller one. this might be fine...spread is about 3' though.
WHAT SIZE DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR 13.5 FLUVAL?
13 gallon? A MUCH smaller light.
They have a single 30w version.
I picked up 4 hydra 52hds for 480 120each second hand and they blow these lights out the water lol the second hand marker is where it’s at as this hobby has so many people leaving their is always loads of top end equipment for next to nothing I got about 8k worth of equipment and probably payed about 2k but getting it all second hand has saved me so much money and 9-10 time the equipment is about 6 months old by the time they give up
congrats
I'm sure they are great. Till they need replaced... Lol
Where did you find your lights I need some😊
What length is your tank and how many gallons it holds?
6', 125
@@ROTTERtube thanks. Awesome video btw
Do you think they better than reef breeders photons?
yes
@@ROTTERtube in what way?
Hi mate looking at getting these lights seen comments on Amazon they don’t come with the brackets, just wondering if they need to be brought separate as I can’t find the brackets anywhere. Tia
They do come with the bracket for connecting to the tank.
You really get what you pay for with lights and this hobby is hard enough without shit lights, investing in coral is wasted without decent lighting
no coral?
Not yet....coming
Wire is a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to daisy chain lights yourself my man
Hang them from the ceiling? That's tacky to me.
get controller for light
I have one
In europe this light costs 220€ RIP
So in the end it did work with your rimmed tank lmao. Life is difficult sometimes bro.
yeah, had to finagle it and kinda force it.
@@ROTTERtube I got that from the vid. I was busting your balls because in the vid you say they said it will work on a rimmed tank but doesn't. Then you show it does and explained that it was difficult. Well they said it will and it does, they didn't say it did easily lol.
@@pjshooter6 yeah, I filmed, and found I was screwed, but then figured a way around it.
whatd you do to get around it im having same issue@@ROTTERtube
I upgraded to radions I could sell you my AIs three of them 50 dollars each pretty much I giving then to you
that would be much appreciated if you really don't need or want them.
I'll grab one and pay shipping
@@BL_Denni ok send me a address where I can send it to you
@@yasseraloy4178 where do you send it from ?
@@BL_Denni Miami Florida
If mx light dont work ima blame u lol i bought it because u said to
Don't do what I say....only if it works out for you. I love these lights.
you get what you pay for..... most leds will work but if you want to keep corals healthy and alive for long periods of time you need good lights ....and if you think that tiny light is gonna touch that over 4ft tank good luck...your only options are some softies ...duncans ......shrooms
The PAR meter shows these lights are more than fine, and I had cheaper lights a few years ago and corals were growing like crazy - $100 LED by Finnex on same tank.
You're "that guy"..... with no video of your tank or lights, but here talking sh!t about someone else's....
Nah, I would much rather spend money on a trusted brand then to spend what these things cost. I bought the single puck fixture last year to see how it would do and the light is absolute trash!
These are the 150W and will be great for my tank. I can't justify the money after reading complaints. In the end it's what you feel comfortable with.
Literally leds, the easiest and most effective light source we have as of this day and age, and a simple control board. Why would you be ok over paying for that?
Or are you a sales person?
@@croaton07 it's a Dan the man thing
How does a new brand become "trusted".....?
These are good lights.
