First impressions are pretty good. The app is very easy to use and you can connect to an apex or have it separately. The coating on the light is similar to the maxspect jump pumps with almost a rubber texture to it. The diffuser moves around inside and feels cheap. I am tempted to take it apart and see what’s inside of this thing. Over the tank the coverage is impressive and the par numbers are really good at a 12” depth which is what my tank. On the lagoon my footprint is 50x30x12 and this light is giving me on 1/2 the tank 400 par in the middle and 180 at the edges of 25x30 at 100% intensity and 100% all colors. I will do the same with the Ab+ program at 50% intensity and 100%

I didn't get the time to check par today, but sounds pretty good! Put mine on the new 210 and looks awesome, like a T5 hybrid. Tank looks bright but I'll have to check par tomorrow, pretty big tank.

any pics hung?
Not a ton in the tank yet but loving the Skys! Finally tested the PAR, getting about 650 on the top rocks, 300-400 for most of the rock structure, and about 200 on the bottom edges of the tank. This is running on 65%. Not bad for three fixtures on a 82"x27"x26" tank!

That's a lot of money and PAR for a tank without many corals. Time to stock that sucker!

Lol right? Been super nervous to start adding stuff even though there are 4 sps frags in the tank on the seed rocks that are starting to encrust again so I think it's ready. I've said everyday this week "I'm going to add some stuff today!" Fiancé stopped paying after the third time. Think I will actually add some stuff today lol.
