These results were on an aqueon 29 gallon aquarium. The PAR test was done through a normal versa glass top. The aquarium was 19 inches tall with 1 inch of substrate. Here is a link the light on Amazon that we bought for the test. http://amzn.to/2BxKORu

This might be a dumb question but with the Nicrew led fixtures the longer the fixture with more led’s would the par go up or stay the same?
Hey Cory, I was wondering if I ran a Finnex planted plus 24/7 on max setting for about 10 hours a day to grow some java fern and an amazon sword, could I use easy carbon to prevent massive amounts of algae with dosing easy green and easy iron?
Where did you get your fish artwork from like the ones in your office?
Great video Cory
I will say I’ve been using this on my uncovered 20 long and it’s been fine, I think it’s mostly to avoid replacements lol love this light! Was planning on getting a stingray for my 2 ft tall, worth it or stick with nicrew? (Easy plants like java and anubias)
I run this on my low tech 20 long. I use regular gravel and simply add some excel from a bottle. My tank grows swords and subulata just fine. Light is durable as well.
I own 4 of these lights, 1 on a 20 gal long, 1 on a 30 gal and 2 24″ on a 55 gal. with a flor. 4 ft. After two years I have no problems with any part.
Good morning, I am from Colombia and I have one exactly the same light for my 10 gallon Nano Aquarium, do you think that that PAR is good for any type of plants? My Aquarium is 27 x 10 x 9.
whats the best light for a 75gal mbuna tank with plants?
I have had the 20 inch Nicrew on my 10 gallon for three months. The java moss, Hornwort and anubius have been doing great on it. I just put a 27 inch Nicrew (50% more lights than the 20 inch) on my 20 long. I wonder what the par is on a 20 long with about 2/3rds the height and 50% more LEDs.
I ALMOST got that one
I bought this light a few months ago on amazon. It is hideous. The light is a hazard. Thanks for the video showcasing this light. Maybe people will not waste their money.
Perfect timing for the review. I bought this about a month ago, and so far my low light plants are doing great. My crypts are growing great and dwarf sag blew up in my 20g with easy green. Just flourishing! Great cheap light for beginners.
Grow a beard bro
Could you please recommend a small-sized mouth brooding cichlid for a 30 gallon tank. Thanks.
I’ve had one of these on a 29 gallon for about a year and a half now, running it 10 hours daily. Great light no issues with performance or brackets. I would recommend it at this point.
Pretty cool !
Just got one of these 2 weeks ago!
I have been running that light now for a year in my 38 tall and am very happy with it for the price i paid but feel i could use 2 on the same tank
Can you please do a par measurements on chirohis A series lights. They are on eBay but not sure if it is worth.
What do you think the par would be on a 55g tank? Thoughts on it being able to grow Madagascar lace, crinum calamistratum and various swords and crypts? Thanks!
Got that light going on my 20 long and it has been very effective for a low tech setup. My plants grow well and I remove tons of dwarf water lettuce each week because of how fast it multiplies.
I was just about to buy this and here you are reviewing it!
I have the 11″-19″ LED Nicrew light on my planted 5.5 gallon. Super impressed with the light output and plant growth. Cant go wrong with this light. Only downsides are what Cory already addressed, i.e Not water proof and the mounting arms are not the best out there. But for the price and output id go with this light every time. Awesome review!
I have had mine for six months now and it even grows dwarf hairgrass with ease on a 12’ tall tank. Things are beast
I just recently bought the 46″ light bar and it started flickering after 3 days and won’t stop nicrew won’t respond to any of my messages about this problem. I’m definitely not happy with this company
You never got to do the video on growing fish and plants for profit! (buying them up while small and growing them out) which are the best species? discus? fancy goldfish?
Good info there bro-ham. May consider a 48″ to replace the Aqueon light on my nonplanted 210.
Thanks
I bought this light 6 months ago. I have a 45 gallon tank with a mesh on top, while the box says it’s not waterproof I have use it on top of the mesh without any issues. It’s bright and affordable.
I was just about to get this for my planted 20gal long but they sold out in the size I needed ☹️
i use one on my 5.5g, its carpeting Monte Carlo 😀 cool video! and a 20L with baby tears (not dwarf) and crypts
Mine has done wonders growing crypts!
Nicrews are VERY bright. I’ve been running them on my 20 longs for 3 years no issues
I’ve been asking you for the par on this forever. So I thank you! 35 par on a 29g. Must be like 45 on a ten gallon. Maybe more?
Try the chihiros a series next, they are said to have one of the highest par, but very budget friendly
I have had all 4 of my nicrew lights for over a year now. All work great and will grow any plant you have. The constitution of it is actually really good just don’t get it wet which is standard for most light.
Can some one explain what par is please lol
thank you for the review
I have a tiny nicrew on my 10g tank and I have to have it sitting above the rubber on my glass canope so that it blocks some of the light because it’s INSANELY good.
No one talks about beams work
