Product Description

HyperReef Controller

Best Light Schedule for Your Corals

AB+ Spectrum

Use the Popular & Proven AB+ Spectrum

The AB+ spectrum closely emulates the mix of ATI Aquablue Special and ATI Blue Plus, offering ideal wavelengths and intensity for coral growth and vibrant color, making it a reliable choice for keeping live corals. For your reef tank, we recommend the following which closely mimics the AB+ spectrum.

Recommended Photoperiods

Recommended Photoperiods

Typically, aquariums need 8-12 hours of light daily. We recommend the 1-8-1 ratio: 1 hour of ramp-up, followed by 8 hours of steady light, and 1 hour of ramp-down, totaling a 10-hour lighting schedule.

  • 1. Check the time in "Setting".You can choose between a 12-hour or 24-hour time format, so make sure it is set correctly.

    2. If you want the light to stay off at night, make sure that the brightness is set to 0 at both the first and last time points.

  • 1. Make sure that the unit is receiving power properly.

    2. You can connect the unit with a 5V/1A USB power adapter to check if the controller works properly.

  • No, this controller cannot simultaneously control both Gen 1 and Gen 2 lights.

Don’t be scared off by the whole “Black Box” terminology. Nicrew nailed it with these! I previously had the Gen 1’s and the Gen 2’s are a great upgrade. The spectrum is ideal right out of the box and can be further adjusted with the remote. The picture had some spill over, but was later adjusted to 10” as recommended by Nicrew and that problem faded. They provide a slight shimmer and more par values are great and able to adjust for my mixed reef (LPS/SPS). Would highly recommend to anyone and will continue to buy. Plus, their customer service is great!

It works, but it is super Overpriced for something that should have been a feature in a 300 dollar light to begin with.

I wasn’t planning to buy the remote, but I’m so glad I did! It’s amazing how it lets you control the lighting.

Good controller of the lights. Wish it better explained the process of connecting the gen 1 lights and also coming with the wire necessary to use with gen 1 lights. I like the holder of the controller it's well made. It's definitely more user friendly than version 1.
