I saw this light in person today for the first time.  Very impressive!  I love the clean sleek design, and the lighting looked great in the tank.

@danlu_gt Have you published any documentation for this light?  I'm really curious to see the user interface, programming instructions, and all the features.

Cuttlefish doesn't have it's own WiFi network yet, so the ReeFi LED is running in AP mode, which means it create it's own WiFi SSID:  ReeFiLED2-xxxxx. 

1. You can connect to that ReeFiLED2-xxxxx WiFI SSID.
2. Load web browser (best with Chrome) and enter the IP Address (displayed on the OLED screen), usually 192.168.4.1 when in AP mode.

I will try to help Jeff setup WiFi network at Cuttlefish when I'm back from Atlanta.  I think adding a WiFi bridge to XfinityWiFi, then LAN connect that to a regular WiFI router should do the trick.

I've made a youtube video that goes over the features.  It's on an slightly older firmware and user interface.  Newer version have some visual improvements and a couple new features.

If you don't like mounting high and ok with some high spill, you can remove the ReeFlectors.

No SPS here. Leathers, LPS, Euphyllias, etc...easy stuff lol. Light looks promising

What are the dimensions on this WB tank? 3x2? Is that the max spread Daniel?

Was bummed that this wasn't quite setup when I was there on Friday 😂  I did see the light however and it looks just a slick in person as it does in the pics - nice job Daniel!

I can't wait for the display tank to be ready for corals and really show off what the ReeFi Extreme can do for coral coloration.  

Saw these 2 photos on FB reef group with Radion individual optical lenses which are perfect example of disco ball effects. Compare that to ReeFi's ReeFlectors which cast pleasing uniform blend of light. ReeFi's ReeFlectors is an example of one of some innovation I made over the competition.

Stop by Cuttlefish & Corals to see ReeFi LED Duo Extreme on Waterbox display.

Is it a female filefish? I currently have a male and would like to get a female. Mine is pretty easy to catch with a cup as he's always eager to get fed.

I did a little write-up on myth about LED spread and optical lenses.

We got some love from Reef Builders:

I've emailed Jake Adams at Reef Builders to see if he's willing to review my LED unit in person. From paper, he's not 100% convinced about the individual reflectors (ReeFlectors™) but I'm certain he would love the color blend when he tries it in person.
 

Sorry for your lost... Sometimes we have to be a total pessimist and think of all possible worst case scenarios when programming fail-safes.

I can give you some red Monti cap, grape monti, and unknown green Monti to help you restock if you like.

Fishes look very healthy!

Just tested another prototype mount with extandable parts for tanks 18"-36" front to back. This seems to work pretty well but put a lot of torque on the tank. I estimate tank need to have at least 10mm glass thickness.

I like the filefish option. I had "carpets" of aiptisa on my rocks. Drop a filefish in and all seems gone in a week. Filefish is not colorful but is very willing to eat flakes and any meaty food off my hand. When I'm gone for extended period, it has a hard time competing for pellets so got kinda skinny. I don't keep softies so I don't know they will munch on zoas or not, but they do love acans.

Wow, looks great!

ReeFi LED Duo Extreme firmware update to V2.14

1) Fixed DST calculation.
2) HTML5 Time input with Date/Time picker (Supported in Chrome and Edge. iOS Safari still do not support HTML5 time input).
3) Date and Time sync to NTP and fallback to Google.
4) Added Thunder to Lightning demo mode.

With thunder, it's hard to sync up the timing as network (router) delays various a bit, but I got it pretty close.

@Optimusprime3605 and @Lexinverts let me know what you think. 

Nice clean setup! Now is the fun phase, stocking up on corals and fishes.

What you really want are the jumbo Trochus'.  I've had two for years now and they're bigger than any turbo I've had.  They are very gentle. 

Very nice indeed! Amazed by the coraline coverage.

Good to hear!  This would open up some options for placement (although front to back depth would still be a trick).

Yes, front to back depth would be a problem for 3D continuous print since my printer bed is 10"x8"x8".  I tried printing it hanging in 3D space to get more length from diagonal xyz but need to print with supports, otherwise, the overhangs becomes stringy.  Any case, I think I have an idea for how I want to make an universal mount.

Curious, how many of you would buy tank mount vs using included wire hanging kit?  BRS has various mounts ranging from $80 and upward.  The actually material for the mount is very inexpensive but initial tooling will cost a lot.  Also, shipping will be a big factor since these will not stack easily and will have to pay for dimensional weight vs actual weight.  I estimate I would need to sell 300 mounts to break even at $50 if I sell directly to customer.  Maybe 500+ units if I sell wholesale to local stores and online stores.

Below is the what the include wiring kit looks like:

Here are some PAR readings...

Right now, my lights came with wire hanging kits.

The prototype mounting is limited to my 3D printer bed size. For my tank size, I can't do different orientation with single continuous printed leg. I'm playing with different designs and will test out how sturdy multiple part expandable legs/mount before mass production. Because plastic injection tooling will cost over $15K, I may start with just an adapter to fit on existing mounts in the market. One of the problem with adaptor to existing 3rd party mount is that my lights are much heavier built from large mirror glass panel, higher performance cooling system, to stainless steel frame. I'm also considering extruded aluminum mounts.
