If this was around when I had my Juwel, I might have kept it!

I've used Photone on iPhone. One thing I didn't think to do was compare it to an actual PAR meter when I had access to one.

I only ever used the A430 Pros from Ali Express. The seller was AQUATIC Pet Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQTw0C1 - very communicative and helpful. Just know that you will need to pay customs. I don't know anything about the M or L series unfortunately!

Did you have to reconfigure the settings at all?

Version 2.2.26 last updated 4 months ago. Seems to be the latest one.

That's really interesting, my C2 RGBs don't show the power consumption, I wonder if that's a new model thing?

Alice! You double crosser! 😂

I've also noticed that the 'on/off' button no longer works for me 🙃 it says I need to go into the light setup. Also now when I click a light, instead of taking me straight to the settings, it takes me to a page as if I'm setting up the lights for the first time. It asks what the voltage is and...

I'm up for that 👍🏾

Yeah, I don't know of a single Week Aqua distributor in the UK unfortunately. I'll just have to deal with it. 😅

Very interesting. Bought directly from them?

Personally, I prefer to suspend my lights over everything other than nano tanks for ease of maintenance and aesthetics. I'm not sure that the £80 difference is worth it, the Pro is a seriously capable light unit. Have you considered using a light stand? That way you could suspend it without it...

I agree with @erwin123 - 50cm is a decent amount of depth and I wouldn't be confident the mini would cut it. Even the pro might be stretched in terms of coverage, unless you were able to suspend the lights and then run them at higher intensity.

Power to the people!

I sent them a message with my thoughts!

There used to be. For the A430 at least, and it got removed in the recent update for some reason. Time to get back on WhatsApp!

It was £78 for two light units.

I actually find it quite stable and easy to use now. I never have to do things more than once and it just works. If you ordered from abroad from Ali Express or something, just be prepared to pay custom fees. It still works out cheaper than a pair of Vivid 2s but just something to be wary of.

Did it let you do this at a custom brightness level? I'm intrigued to see if it works without being on 100%, it's such a basic feature... Yep. Annoying but luckily not had any issues doing it so far. I would have never chanced it with the old app in fear of screwing everything up.

Not that I can see! I used to use the manual function to turn on the lights for a clean/water change because I normally do it before the photoperiod. I had to go into settings as if I was changing my schedule and change the time to 8am so the lights stayed on. Only if the time changes to the...

One thing I've noticed is they've removed the function to manually turn on your lights! Why.

Wow, somebody put a firecracker up their butts clearly! As it should be though. If a product relies on app for function, the app's functionally and UX should be just as much of a priority as getting hardware into hands. I think it did appear to have the same time schedule when I opened the new...

Not that I can see. Once you've set your settings and click the ramp option, you can see the light gets brighter.

Thanks for letting us know. I just updated it. The app seems to be much more simplified and no longer feels like something in alpha testing. Still not sure why you can't do ramp up and down unless it's 100% but that's another thing. The proof will be in the stability and reliability of the...

And I will join you hahaha! 🐙 . I finally got my lights to do the function I actually set, so I'm not touching the app.

I've had the lights running for a week now. Yes, the app is total fiery dog ****. However, has anyone noticed the spectrum changing slightly throughout the day? Sometimes I'll be watching the tank and then just suddenly the lights flicker to something a bit different. The overall aesthetic...

My week aqua lights arrived recently but I'm about to rescape my tank so I haven't set it up yet. I'm sure it'll be just as annoying as people say lol.

Hey Darrel, I did think this about smartphones when they removed the home button. 😅

I have a feeling my week aqua lights arrive today. Equal parts excited and worried lol.

Ooo had no idea AI were bringing out new lights. They also seem to be doing light fixtures too. Even one specifically for macroalgae 👀.

Thanks for campaigning, Dear! That'll be a lovely birthday present for me, since I have some Week Aqua lights on the way! 😍 Hopefully it's a good upgrade.

Fight the power!

I think this is valid. A product could be amazing but if it's a nightmare to use, I just won't use it.

Is that how you got yours? I was interested in buying one maybe.

I feel the same way.

Always the way, isn't it.

Have there been any improvements to the app as of yet? @Hanuman

Do companies not gather feedback anymore?

This isn't the same tank. That's a Superfish Home 60, he's asking about the Superfish Scaper 60.

You'll definitely want 2 of these for a 120cm.

I can confirm that Dennis is very helpful and I'm confident you'll get a response to your question @Garuf . Also @Siddy may be able to provide some insight for this light as well. I had considered this light too but if the app is worse than Chihiros', then I wouldn't go near it with a barge...

Thinking of getting salty? 👀

I'm just using the standard T5 fitting it came with, and iQuatics bulbs.

Where was this when I was setting up my Juwel Rio? 😭

Oh nice one, I didn't even know that existed. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm currently running 2 x 54w T5 bulbs over my 120cm (350L) scape because although 4 bulbs gave me great results, it also gave me algae. Because of the way the light unit is built, I can only have 2 bulbs or 4. However, using two bulbs means that the light unit sits in the centre...

I use T5 lights on my biggest aquarium and it grows plants pretty well. My only complaint is the heat generated but otherwise they're good!

@medusa3604 Oh wow that fits perfectly! I'm pleasantly surprised. Thank you!

Does it actually fit on the rim? Was thinking of getting one for my Rio but wasn't sure if it would sit right.

It's a good starting point but I don't think the 30% increase in wattage translates into 30% increase in par data otherwise you'd be able to work out the par data from the data they've given for their other light units.

Chihiros WRGB II 60 cm LED light (60-80 cm, 67 W, 4500 lm) WRGB II, and A II is also now selling on Amazon if anyone's interested.

I was planning to buy the slim as I really like the all black design, but just needed something a bit more powerful. However, for what you're getting it looks like a great product! If they update the WRGB II design to this that would be perfect.

Post in thread 'Brad's 40cm Cube' Brad's 40cm Cube Brad got a Chihiros A series from AliExpress with only taxes which I presume is VAT. For the price of the Vivid 2 I'm almost certain it'll incur customs but maybe it's worth a shot? I've never actually had to pay anything extra from AliExpress...

Hey CJay, Yeah as far as I know Fzone studios are the only place really selling it in the UK. It's a good price and free shipping but just note it doesn't include customs or VAT charges you will incur. I have a suspicion Fzone are gearing up to sell the Chihiros lineup on Amazon UK as in the...

@Ash_bash Hey, what did you end up going with? I'm in a similar boat looking for something for a 43cm tank.

What are the issues you're having? Also are you running CO2? I ask because I used to own the Roma 200 and the amount of lighting you have seems overkill if you're not running CO2. Even without, still sounds like too much. To put it into perspective, I'm using 2 X 54w T5 (no reflectors) over my...

I'm trying to figure out if my lightning is considered high or not. I've got 4 x 54w T5 tubes over 350 litres. It's probably 300 litres with all the displacement. Lights are roughly 60cm from the substrate at the lowest point. Is this considered high lightning?
