Got two of Chinese I-Fi led lights for my new tank(72'' x 24'' x 24''),I-Fi meas I love Wi-Fi,Wifi control through Android App (No OIS yet) Up to 30 set points for each channel/ 90 per day,Mounting legs (32'' to 48") Hanging kit also included,full spectrum 119 x 3w diodes,I'm very impressed right now with them and for the technology i don't think they can be beat.

i ever see this before but not wifi version,,similar shape .

also in amazon site one guy sell 120w wifi, christ, just four intervals in 24hours!!!!!!!!!
i just thought that one could be same as 30minutes interval,accurately,it is not,
6 hours as one interval, the coral could be as good as dead.

how is this one?
how many intervals in 24hours. four?
how many channels?

Yes,I-Fi reef lights give more than improved spectrum, adding 20K whites to the 14K,True 395nm UV and 420nm violet and even some 490nm teal,corals growth so fast! I also get upgraded quieter fans with higher CFM, thicker heat sinks, better drivers, Epistar diodes instead of Bridgelux or worse, generic like MarsAqua, built in mounting legs plus hanging kit.

It works great so far,I am happy with it,I can set arbitrary intervals and intensity,but it has 30 set points for each of 3 channels.

Can you share some screen shots of the phone application?

Does your 180 gallon only have one center brace?

Just to be clear, you're not being compensated in some way for presenting your opinions of these lights, right?

Ok,when in manual mode you can control all Lights together as well. This is a huge improvement over competitor Lights that make you login and pair with each light one of the time in both manual mode and for programming. They also don't allow you to sync the timers up creating small gaps and ramping or on off times.

It would be nice to have a link to the lights. Not some Facebook link with some guy and his girl.
