Product Description
Neptune GRO Refugium Light - Flat Mount
Overview
The GRO 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 Design
Compact, flat, rectangular LED grow light measures 8.7" X 6.1" X 1.4" making it the perfect fit for the smaller refugium compartments in many modern aquariums - as well as those that wish to grow macroalgae in a separate refugium.84 LEDS With Optimum Spectrum
84 LEDs in four colors create an evenly distributed spectrum optimized for macroalgae growth. Two key wavelengths for algae photosynthesis are emphasized - 455-460nm and 620-670nm.Large Surface Area of Illumination with Less Spillage
Large, rectangular form promotes better algae growth, while reducing nuisance algae from light spillage, as intensity is evenly spread across a refugium area that is almost always rectangular. The GRO can effectively cover a refugium area up to 18"x24"Even Light Distribution With No Hot Spots
Round, spotlight style refugium lights, often create uneven spread of intensity. This causes hotspots that lead to algae burning or stunted growth. With the GRO, the 84 LED in a rectangular form factor create even light intensity and no hotspots.Less Nuisance Algae Due To Light Spillage
Nuisance algae on in our sumps and on our equipment is normally one of the downsides of using a refugium. Since most refugia are rectangular, the GRO projects light in a similar manner. Also, with its low-power, distributed LED design, the GRO can be placed very close to the water surface further limiting light spillage and therefore nuisance algae.IP64 Water Resistant Design
The GRO is IP64 rated which means splashes and salt spray will not take it down. This means it can safely be placed close to the water surface, maximizing light effectiveness, and reducing wasteful light spillage that often causes nuisance algae in other parts of a system.Easily Connects To A Free DC24 Port
Power the GRO using an available DC24 connection in your Apex ecosystem (on Energy Bar 832 or 1LINK module).Operates As A Standalone Light As Well
If you do not have an available DC24 port, or you wish to use the GRO without an Apex, a power supply is available so it will operate standalone.Two Mounting Options
An available gooseneck mount comes in two models: A traditional clamp style mount to attach it to the edge of your sump. And a unique pipe-clamp mount to attach it to your existing plumbing above or behind your sump.
Features
- 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
- Two focused wavelength bands (455-460nm and 620-670nm) for maximum algae photosynthesis
- Covers a refugium area up to 18"x24"
- Plugs directly into DC24 connection on an EnergyBar832 or a 1Link module.
- Dimensions: 8.7" x 6.1" x 1.4" (light panel itself less than 1" 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
What's Included
- GRO LED Light
- Flexible gooseneck mount
- Flat clamp mounting bracket
