Miguel Roblero Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 If I building out a nano tank in my 10 gallon what type of light fixture is better: Fluval Sea Marine Nano Bluetooth LED (20 Watt) vs Hipargero. I have a nano tank in my livingroom that uses the Hipargero and it has done well. My only problem with it is that it is not programmable other than a simpler timer. I would be interested to know you guys experience and opinion on these two affordable nano reef lights. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Well, I'm not familiar with the Hipargero but reefs systems do just fine with on/off timers. Having a programable timer is a nice feature though, especially if it has two or more channels that can be programed individually. I would put more emphasis on getting the proper PAR level for the corals you plan on growing. Light distribution is important also. If both have the LEDs in roughly the same locations then the light field is going to be similar but if there are significant differences in thelocations then even if they have the same PAR the light field in the tank is going to be very different and it will be harder to say how a coral adapted to one fixture will do under the other.
