I like the look of the AI 5:37 blades. They give a nice uniform covering of light on the IM. Nice par levels to start with at 20%

My 40 breeder is a new setup but I’m loving the Aquamaxx Prism II I got from BRS. The 36” model was only $187 and looks super slick. Not too hard to program and offers a lot of flexibility and control for new hobbyists (regardless of budget, IMO)

Nice wish you guys completed the Biome it been cancelled?

Isn't it better to measure PAR with flow because that's how our tank will run?

I like the form factor of the blades. My problem is the price point for essentially a strip light. For a bit more money you can buy a photon and have the best of both worlds.

I am trying to set up my first saltwater aquarium and it’s not gonna be nothing fancy it’s a 50 gallon tank with hob filtration but I’m trying to keep my budget low and am looking to spend 200 dollars on lighting I could spend more but is it worth spending more. I would love to have a reef tank but don’t know what light to buy I like a lot of lights on the website but don’t know if I would need one good lighting or 2 smaller lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Well that was a nice advert for a new product. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh look still recommending blades as the number #1 light even with their current issues. You should at least recommended something else until the issues are fixed. The blades don’t match color/brightness end to end.
