forgive my ignorance, but what makes the sky any different than any of the other led lights available?

Better spread, less shadows, more customization and a touch more power than compared to something like a radion xr30. Also great if you are already a apex user. Feel like it worth it only for a heavy sps tank for the shadows though. I'll be getting one as soon as I can myself for this reason. Always had shadow issues in my shallower tanks so I'm interested to see how it does.

Did Apple release the APP for the light yet? The footprint seems pretty large. Be interested to see it once you have em up. I was in a store yesterday and they had 6 of them.
Lets see if the spread beats my 7 hydra 26s for my 3x3 lol

Hopefully longer then the wifi on my apex and longer then a lot of the tridents I am seeing. Now that BRS owns them maybe just maybe the products and customer service improves

More reason to stop back by. I’m really interested in hearing about the par coverage in your tank with nothing else on. The wife said I could put my 32’s on her tank and get me a sky or two. Hopefully it’s worth the added expense.
Where you find them at?

Yep, and I bought the last one. Excited to get them up. Looks like That Aquarium Place posted they have some this morning though. How are you liking yours?

Haven’t had a chance to put my up yet. It’s going on my neptunian lagoon which is a 50x30x12 footprint which I think I will need 2 if I decide to keep them. I have hydra 52s and a 32 on there now. I borrowed a par meter from my friend today so I am going to run some par number comparisons for both an all on spectrum and then the brs ab+ spectrum I currently run.

I have the north side par meter available right now if you’re interested in picking it up. I got it back last week and it’s waiting for you.

No worries. Let me know if you want to borrow the club’s meter.
I see Neptune already sponsored several known gurus with these lights to market them.
