Aquarium Light –3rd Generation A029 Aquarium LED Light 30 Watts Saltwater Light with Touch Control, 5W LED Chips for Coral Reef Nano Fish Tank Marine Tanks with Timer & Screen (A029)

Honestly for the price these are great. Been running a few months and my shift corals are growing and splitting. My SPS are doing ok so far also, they are too new to show much growth yet. My GSP, mushrooms and Duncan have all split in the last month.

Wanted something cheap for a 12 gallon bookcase quarantine tank that I would also put coral in. The led control is so much better than their older model I have with just buttons. My only thing is with this one and the older one mounted to the same tank the blue color is a little differnt between the two.

So far quality and functionality seem good. Great Price for a budget reef build. Time will tell what sort of coral it will support. Should be fine for soft coral and some LPS, but looking to eventually get a few sps once tank is established. Will update if I need to upgrade to AI prime or not once we get there.

Great lights, you can program but turning on and setting run time at the time you want them to come on. Packs a good little punch. Not sure if I’d recommend for sps

This light provides decent flexibility and PAR for a nano reef tank. I measured PAR with varied settings (white and blues) and found a sweet spot for my tank setup. At full brightness (100% whites and blues) and the light at the lowest height possible for the light above the water, I measure around 400 PAR just below the surface of the water (6" below the light and about an inch under water). Near the bottom of my 12 gallon all in one, PAR drops to around 200 at full bright. I set the lights to 40% white and 60% blue for 200 PAR at the top of my aquascape and 100 near the bottom where my leather corals live. I love the color and usability of the light but the sunrise and sunset mode is a joke. I have another LED light that doesn't match the PAR of this light, and the basic controller of that light has an amazing built in sunrise and sunset. This light comes on instantly, based on the start time, at some level of brightness less than the programmed setting. Then after some period of time (listing states 30 minutes) it jumps to the full programmed setting. It's not a gradual sunrise, just on. Sunset is the same. Some time before powering off, it drops to some level of brightness less than the setting, but same colors, not dimming to blues/moonlight. Then after the programmed time has passed, it shuts off completely. My other LED light would keep blues on very low for about 4 hours after the whites went off and I loved the look of the nightlight. The whole plug it in to start the timer feature is ridiculous as well. Holding down the white and blue light buttons turns the light on and off. How hard could it be to have a similar feature to set the start of the timer? Lastly, the mount is not designed to support a rimmed tank. I was able to make it work, but it really needs a spacer to properly mount on a rimmed tank. This one works fine overall but sunrise and sunset are just terrible. The price is great if you can accept how it works, but I'll keep looking for a replacement.

Light is great!! As mentioned in some reviews there is a visual separation in spectrum but it has no ill effects and still looks awesome. Light at half brightness 60b and 50w has great par and my LPS and SPS are thriving in my EVO 13.5. The timers and sunrise/sunset functions all work well. For those that are complaining are just wrong. Great light and would be at the top of my list for my next build.

The media could not be loaded. You can see clearly in video that the light just auto shuts off...it really is crap. . you have to unplug it over and over throughout the day just go get it to work again....so what good is that ..if the hiparago company follows through with a replacement one as they say I will change my review....otherwise it's a one and Amazon continues to send out defective items and pass them off as new be careful UPDATE: received my replacement light and it is actually worse than the original light. It auto shuts off way more than the first one did! So now I have two aquarium lights that are basically worthless. I wish I could change my review from 1 star but I can't. My fish are freaked out now. It has been a bad experience. The makers of the product don't have a customer service phone line either so imagine that.
