Просмотров 1,9 тыс.19 часов назад
Sorry I haven’t posted a video in awhile. My life has been crazy personally and in the reefing hobby. Some of my favorite fish died recently and I reflect on their losses and the losses of some of my favorite corals over the years.

Hygger Saltwater Aquarium Light HG-107 50W Unboxing, Par Testing, and Initial Review
Просмотров 5974 месяца назад
Hygger sent me an amazing LED light to review. I will be honest, I was not expecting much from the light as a 502w light isn't that powerful, but this little light packs a punch and has an amazing spread! They kept the light simple to reduce costs to the consumer. I think Hygger overdelivered on the product. Definitely worth a look. www.hygger-online.com/product/hygger-saltwater-aquarium-light/...

    My experience: Have 2 small Hygger wave makers; 4years old and 3 years old. The basic Controller options are where they fall short compared to the higher end stuff that I lm using. They have more than adequate control options, nonetheless. Another issue is they don’t offer very many larger tank device options. Hopefully, they will one day. Regardless, mine were worth every absolute penny I spent on them. If one of my Hygger flow mules breaks down I won’t think twice to replace it with a newer Hygger model. After watching this, without hesitation it will be a part of my newest 60g build. Should be perfect for my needs. Thank you for the great content!

    I do wonder about long term reliability and power use-35 watts is quite high. How does that compare to your varios pump at the same flow rate? How’s the noise and vibration?

    • @shallowreefing
      @shallowreefing 27 дней назад

      Varios goes up to 98 watts. It was drawing roughly 42 watts at step 3. I have silicone tubing on the pumps so it is definitely quiet for both pumps. Obviously the $450 pump is better. But this budget option is great. The prices in the hobby have gotten out of control and I appreciate companies trying to deliver entry level products to help newer reefers.

So I dug around and thought I'd give it a try. I've been doing freshwater aquariums for over 30+ years. I know what I like and want. Seems like a solid purchase It has so many settings and that can be intimidating. We'll see how it goes.
