"So far A+ rating."

The ramp timer also seems to help the fish and shrimp a lot, especially newer ones. Both are quality lights, well built with excellent output. I am running 20 something aquariums and have multiple lights running in my fishroom. I changed my review and contacted Hygger. That said, I tried it out today and it's gorgeous! I added a moon light separately and all is good. Best of all you see the true color of your plants and fish.

"No remote."

The Nicrew comes with 2 different brackets to make sure it fits your aquarium. Overall build quality is really good. It has multiple settings, dimmer and a TIMER! My main display has been running with ecotech radions. It's so bright, I was concerned that I would bleach the corals at the 1 setting. It should be much further down the cord so that it can be hidden if desired. They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty.

"Well worth it I think!"

The purple hue bugged me that much I returned it. The daytime lights are MUCH brighter than the lights my Top Fin hood has built in. Both are quality lights, well built with excellent output. It's been a few years since I left this review and thought I'd leave an update. However, each brings a distinct look to the tank. So these lights obviously can produce SPS required PAR light levels. It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for.

"My cats love it!"

So these lights obviously can produce SPS required PAR light levels. I like that it has a timer built into the control module too. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service. Even the torch, frogspawn and brain at the bottom of the tank is doing well. I actually thought the tank had constant algae blooms before I got this light. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on.

"I'm very pleased."

They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty. As long as you seal it before using it, it should perform well. All of the LEDs appear to illuminate and the lights dim smoothly. Thanks u so much Hygger for all the amazing equipment u offer. Both are quality lights, well built with excellent output. I think the blue lights are meant to be an evening light. Its sold in different lengths and worked great for this light.

"I'll elaborate in a bit."

It's not too bright and not too dim. This tank is 15 years old with lps and sps corals. All of the LEDs appear to illuminate and the lights dim smoothly. Its sold in different lengths and worked great for this light. This light is amazing, especially for the price. This one beats them all and now Im going to have to get back into some stem plants. It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for.

"Acting completely normal."

This light has some great intensity to it. Suprized how well it lights up this tank. ‍♂️Rgbw, Multiple settings, 3 stage timer. They did well enough during the time I had them. They are so much nicer than the florescent lights that came with my tanks. I purchased 2 of these lights for my 90 gal reef tank. You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great.

"Highly recommended!"

I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on. Overall, this LED light gives new fish tank owners the best bang for the buck. So I contacted customer service and asked them to send me a new transformer. Sealed very well and the shipping was next day. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer. Just got this light today, and WOW!

"I love this light."

This light is amazing, especially for the price. PAR readings were taken with an apogee par meter. When I ordered my second light it arrived with a dead transformer. Trust me u will not be disappointed! The second pic is my old Top Fin light for comparison. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move. I contacted Nicrew support over the weekend and received a reply within hours.

"So far A+ rating."

It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. For the price range of this light that is truly outstanding customer service. I actually thought the tank had constant algae blooms before I got this light. They immediately sent out the package via UPS but UPS lost it. I am running 20 something aquariums and have multiple lights running in my fishroom. What happens when you mix a lot of blue with a little red. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright.

"BUYER BE WARE."

It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for. No pictures because the camera on the phone couldn't pick it up. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. I may purchase this if I decide to start a frag tank. I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning. The timer mode utilized seems like the only timer mode I wouldn't really ever want. I contacted Nicrew support over the weekend and received a reply within hours.

  • biOrb MCR LED Light, Small
  • The BiOrb MCR LED Light, Small, is an upgrade to the lighting for the BiOrb Classic 15, Classic 30, Classic 60, Classic 105, Life 15, BiUbe and Tube Aquariums. It's also a replacement part for the BiOrb aquariums that came with the MCR LED S Lighting (EXCEPT FOR THE HALO).

I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning. Few months ago I decided to try my hand at propagation coral. If necessary, I'll just buy one more and I'm sure I'll be fine. That sounded like a good plan to me so I agreed it was worth the risk. I am very pleased and plan to get the smaller version for my betta tank. Sealed very well and the shipping was next day.

"Before I begin!"

We've got wide 13 gallon tank that is about 23 inches long. If necessary, I'll just buy one more and I'm sure I'll be fine. Wanted to return it but decided to keep it for my quarantine tank. That sounded like a good plan to me so I agreed it was worth the risk. I just set them up today so I will adjust and update this review accordingly. Programming the lights was a breeze, and it lights up my tank well. You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great.

Cycling through brightness levels is awkward as well. This tank is 15 years old with lps and sps corals. No pictures because the camera on the phone couldn't pick it up.

"Except the programming."

The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. The corals look beautiful and the color spectrum is great. Seems to be doing pretty well for my planted tank also! When I added this light my plants where not looking well at all. I think the blue lights are meant to be an evening light. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. However, each brings a distinct look to the tank.

This light does a great job and grows plants in a rapid rate. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move. It's the best bang for your buck for a minimal reef light. Overall, this appears to be a good light for the price. I now own 2 of these lights and I love them. I am so in love with this lights and looking forward to start a new planted tank.

"Actual length of the 7."

The corals look beautiful and the color spectrum is great. My standard 10 gallon tank's hood finally crapped out on me. The adjustable brightness levels are awesome too. I really like that I can get a 24-hour effect with the timer. You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great. However, each brings a distinct look to the tank. I purchased three of these for my 240 gallon reef tank and they work incredibly well.

It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for. Compared to the original Classic, the Plus model is a very nice upgrade. I thought they were fairly easy to set up. Sadly I can't really use it yet because the glass canopy I ordered hasn’t arrived. So my ALL Blues run alone one hour before and an hour after. I contacted Nicrew support over the weekend and received a reply within hours. I purchased 2 of these lights for my 90 gal reef tank.
