"They are pretty clear."

It can penetrate deep into the tank and grow corals. It's the best bang for your buck for a minimal reef light. This light has some great intensity to it. For the price these lights are incredible. I may purchase this if I decide to start a frag tank. I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me. Has all the functions I need and want, and I am happy with this purchase.

"5 inch units."

Another note, there are more blue LED than red LED. Check out the photos on this 20 gallon grow out tank. So I contacted customer service and asked them to send me a new transformer. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. The following Monday they shipped a new power supply. For the price range of this light that is truly outstanding customer service. I purchased this item for my daughters Aqua plant tank.

"Super bright!"

I am running 20 something aquariums and have multiple lights running in my fishroom. This lights had the reviews i was looking for. It's so bright, I was concerned that I would bleach the corals at the 1 setting. The last pic is the blue setting on the NICREW light. The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. I've had these lights for three weeks and so far they are AWESOME. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move.

"The lightning is great."

My plants have been pearling by late evening since installing the light. They immediately sent out the package via UPS but UPS lost it. They inquired about the issue with the item and then they replaced it right away. When I added this light my plants where not looking well at all. The ramp timer also seems to help the fish and shrimp a lot, especially newer ones. It illuminates my 20g long fish tank entirely and perfectly. I really like that I can get a 24-hour effect with the timer.

" just in case."

What happens when you mix a lot of blue with a little red. Another note, there are more blue LED than red LED. They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty. I may purchase this if I decide to start a frag tank. I added a moon light separately and all is good. I really like that I can get a 24-hour effect with the timer. I contacted Nicrew support over the weekend and received a reply within hours.

"Vibrant colors."

The 300w light is 16lbs, so I wouldn't trust using drywall anchors to mount it. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright. Programming the lights was a breeze, and it lights up my tank well. I've had these lights for three weeks and so far they are AWESOME. This one beats them all and now Im going to have to get back into some stem plants. The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. This light is even better than I expected!

"Look at this!"

The Nicrew comes with 2 different brackets to make sure it fits your aquarium. You just position it over the glass strip where the old strip light used to sit. This light is definitely amazing build quality and brightness for the price! This light has some great intensity to it. I really like that I can get a 24-hour effect with the timer. They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty. Thanks u so much Hygger for all the amazing equipment u offer.

"I'd recommend it."

The entire process took only a few days. Programming the lights was a breeze, and it lights up my tank well. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service. I may purchase this if I decide to start a frag tank. Therefore you cannot use this fixture on a customer timer. I plan to upgrade all of my aquariums to this light. My main display has been running with ecotech radions.

"Mainly wanted timer."

The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect. It's been about a month since the new LED light came in. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer. Sealed very well and the shipping was next day. Suprized how well it lights up this tank. I eventually saw the tracking slip and it was terrible. Also note this is an initial impression review.

"Then it'll be 10 stars."

Suprized how well it lights up this tank. The remote that comes with the light leaves a lot to be desired. There IS a purple hue to this fixture. I like that it has a timer built into the control module too. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright. For the price you will not find a better light on the market. Overall, this appears to be a good light for the price.

"So we used tape."

Thia works fantastic for my 75 G salt tank. Another note, there are more blue LED than red LED. As long as you seal it before using it, it should perform well. I added a moon light separately and all is good. It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. I like that it has a timer built into the control module too. The daytime lights are MUCH brighter than the lights my Top Fin hood has built in.

WOTERZI Final Thoughts

"My cats love it!"

I think the blue lights are meant to be an evening light. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer. This will also give you the blue lights while the whites are on throughout the day. I have a very big 55 gallon corner tank that had a big hood on the top. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on. This light coming in at 6500 kelvin is perfect! I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning.

"I really like this light."

I've had other Nicrew lights on other tanks and they have all performed well for me. This light is definitely amazing build quality and brightness for the price! The built-in schedule will restrict you which is super annoying. I purchased 2 of these lights for my 90 gal reef tank. This is another awsome product from hygger. I have seen no flickering or pulsing of these lights as reported by other reviewers. Its sold in different lengths and worked great for this light.

"I love it."

If you're considering using the LED stick-on lights to upgrade- don't bother. It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. When I disassembled it- I found the light had no seal on either end cap. I've had these lights for three weeks and so far they are AWESOME. The remote that comes with the light leaves a lot to be desired. I have to once again sing praises for this light and company. As long as you seal it before using it, it should perform well.

  • Compatible with ALL BiOrb 30 Liter Classic and 60 Liter Classic Aquariums
  • The BiOrb Standard LED Light, Large, illuminates your BiOrb with bright white LEDs that are suitable for 50,000 hours of lighting. Long life LEDs means that there are no bulbs to change and for your peace of mind, the light is low voltage.

"Not happy."

It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. It can penetrate deep into the tank and grow corals. It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. Seems to be doing pretty well for my planted tank also! So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on. My main display has been running with ecotech radions. Few months ago I decided to try my hand at propagation coral.
