Maintaining low nutrient levels is key to a healthy and algae-free marine aquarium
Some of the most successful reef aquariums employ the use of a macroalgae-filled growth area or refugium for the purpose of nutrient control.
The Neptune Systems GRO MacroAlgae Light is a specialized, 20W LED light designed to grow many types of common macroalgaes (i.e. Chaetomorpha) using a specialized light spectrum which maximizes photosynthesis. It plugs directly into any available DC24 port in your Apex ecosystem, or alternatively, it can also be run completely standalone.
Compact LED grow light with 84 LEDs in four colors, two key spectrum ranges for optimal macroalgae growth
Large, flat area of illumination promotes better growth as it creates a much more even spread than single, spotlight-style lights.
Distributed LED design means no light hotspots that can burn the macroalgae
Less light spillage — IP64 water resistance means it can be placed very close to water "” reducing the growth of nuisance algae elsewhere
Covers a refugium area up to 18"x24"
Plugs directly into DC24 connection on an EnergyBar832 or a 1Link module.
Dimensions: 8.7"³ x 6.1"³ x 1.4"³ (light panel itself less than 1"³ high)
Works with any Apex model, including the Apex Classic family.
Operates standalone, without an Apex, with the purchase of an optionally available power supply.
Mounts using the optionally available, flexible gooseneck, with one of two clamp styles
