PopBloom 240W Light on Amazon
« on: October 30, 2018, 11:26:03 »
Hello everyone, trying to figure out if this light is worth the investment.  I don't have unlimited funds and I'm working on setting up a 65G tank (36x24x18) to move away from my nano's.  I'be been looking at lighting and trying to find something both programmable and powerful enough to allow me to continue to explore corals and other mysteries of the deep.  I think this link will work, http://a.co/d/6Fb1ngK.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

So I am not familiar with that light and no expert on lighting but I would guess for $250 there are some better options out there! You could look at getting used AI’s or maybe some SBReeflight’s. Just my .02!

Thank you for the reply.  I haven't looked into SBReeflight's, that may be an option.  I've been trying to get the best bang for my money since I have a lot that needs to be set up and added.  The wife doesn't like the idea of dropping another $1K into a tank after I just spent several hundred earlier this year setting up one of my Nano tanks.  What she doesn't know is I have another 50G tank that I want to set up after I get this one done.  I see myself quickly becoming aquarium poor..lol

Have you looked into the ocean revive artic 247 lights. Brian(lazylivin) sells them locally or you can order them online. Highly recommend them and a lot of guys are running them with great success.

Ocean revive would would be my vote.  You can grow anything.  They are cheap.  They only down side is that they do not have a sunrise sunset cycle.
