Features 5

  • The proven and enhanced violet and blue spectrum offers ideal wavelengths and intensity for better coral growth and fluorescence
  • A custom designed wide-angle optical system achieves extensive coverage, gets even PAR distribution, and eliminates hotspots

  • With 2 USB-C control ports, the HyperReef can be easily connected to an external controller (sold separately) for endless customization

Description

The custom designed lens blends the light in such a way that eliminates the hot spot directly beneath the LED cluster. Its wider output angle ensures optimal PAR across a broader range. Additionally, the lens has a frosted finish that enhances light mixing and prevents the disco-ball effect. The HyperReef Gen 2's optical system features an expanded 120-degree output, up from the 90 degrees in Gen 1, ensuring incredibly even PAR distribution across 3ft of coverage. This results in an extremely high average output, making it ideal for LPS and SPS corals. An all-new fan maximizes cooling while minimizing noise. Paired with this fan is a completely redesigned integrated CNC heatsink, which includes multiple channels to ensure unobstructed airflow and micro-fins designed to expand the surface area, allowing for superior heat dispersion. A complete kit for mounting a single light to your tank. Great for mounting multiple lights on one rail across your tank. Enable individual units to be suspended above your tank. An elegant solution to hang multiple HyperReefs over your tank. HyperReef Gen 2 Controller can control 5 independent light channels with stepless dimming and offers endless customization options for your lighting. By connecting to the NICREW converter box, the HyperReef Gen 2 can be linked to third-party controllers like Kessil, APEX, GHL, and Hydros control products. For higher output, the optional Narrow Angle Lens Kit provides a focused 90-degree beam angle, improving PAR and deeper light coverage. An elegant solution to hang the light over your tank. It is compatible with all models of the HyperReef Gen 2 LED light. The HyperReef Sliding Rail can be combined with two mount systems to create a multi-light mount setup, allowing flexible choice for different tank sizes and multiple lights. The HyperReef Mount System securely supports your aquarium light. It fits most rimless tanks and lets you adjust the height easily, offering a clean and stable setup.

Good light with some issues.
Size: HyperReef 200 Gen 2
This is an updated review after a bit of use. I've reduced the intensity and the reliability is solid. Good lights. Running three (now four) of these over a 180 and getting good par readings in the sand bed. (70% output on blue and violet, 3% white, 0% red and green. So, it is not at max.) These have a better spectrum than my halide and T5 setup. Good coverage/spread with ability to customize the color. Controller is wonky with the USB cord. Why not Bluetooth? Even a phone app would have been easier and looked better. You have to keep the controller plugged into the lights for the settings to 'stick'. If you unplug it and they revert to manual operations. So, I guess there is no memory in the actual light fixtures, only in the controller. The controller DOES NOT COME WITH THE FIXTURE. You have to buy it separately. These come with a lot of mounting gear. Awesome if you are setting up a new tank but an extra cost that is rolled into the item if you already have a mounting solution over your tank. I agree with other reviews, mounts should be sold separately. Now I have three mounts sitting in a box in the garage: a total waste of money. The fans are extremely LOUD. These do put out good light though and I'm happy with them overall. For all of the issues I listed, I'll likely buy a fourth fixture so I can replace 8 T5 bulbs over another tank. So, they are not perfect but a great budget selection for their price point. I'm not hating these at all, just there is definitely room for improvement. The form factor on these is way smaller than expected which is a plus. They are compact and can fit into a small space. Fix the fan noise and get a phone app and this would be a 5-star item. *2026 update* Reliability? My house was hit by lightning. My stove, oven, microwave, router, etc. were all fried. What lived? These lights and their power packs. Solid build and this alone made me upgrade my rating to 5* I'm buying another to add to the tank for coverage. They still need to work on fan noise though. ... show more

Outstanding Light and Even Better Customer Support
Size: HyperReef 200 Gen 2
I’ve been running the NICREW HyperReef 200 Gen 2 (200W) on my reef tank and overall I’m extremely impressed with both the performance of the light and, just as importantly, the company standing behind their product. The light itself delivers excellent coverage and intensity for SPS and LPS corals, with strong color pop, good shimmer, and plenty of power. Coral response and growth have been exactly what I was hoping for. I experienced an issue where one of the three LED clusters failed, which was obviously disappointing. However, what really sets NICREW apart is how they handled it. After emailing their support team and sending a photo of the non-working LED, they responded quickly and professionally, without the usual runaround often associated with warranties. They approved the warranty replacement almost immediately and shipped out a brand-new light via FedEx. From the time I first reached out to the time the replacement arrived was about 5 days total, which honestly exceeded my expectations. Mistakes or failures can happen with any product — what matters is how a company responds, and NICREW absolutely nailed it. Fast communication, easy warranty process, and quick shipping. Because of the excellent customer service and the strong performance of the HyperReef 200 Gen 2, I would confidently recommend this light to other reef keepers. It’s reassuring to know the company truly stands behind its gear. Highly recommended. ... show more

i bought 2 of these lights to cover my 90 gallon reef, i am honestly amazed with them. i bought the controller so i could sync them up and they’ve been running for half a year now and i couldn’t be happier, the color they put off looks high quality looking at the tank, and my corals love them. i would recommend! they are also pretty good quality as well, everything is made from aluminum so there’s no plastic except for the c clamps that go on the back of the tank ... show more

Unbelievable value for unbelievable quality.
Size: HyperReef 200 Gen 2
FOR CONTEXT: I have been using a 24 inch ReefBreeder Photon V2+ for a few years now on my 50 galloon lagoon reef with great success but their BOT mounting arms just weren't easy to deal with and always sagged. So I wanted to look into different options and found the Nicrew lights in my hunt. Having used EcoTech in the past, I was considering Radion XR30s, the new Hydras and AI Blades, but the cost just seemed extortionate. But these Nicrew lights...the price seemed incredible, and I was skeptical of the performance. I decided to purchase 1x 200w Gen 2 to test out on my 50 gallon lagoon with the idea of potentially buying a second to suspend over a 112 gallon lagoon cube I have in the works. If it wasn't great I would simply return the light. Since I received the light a couple days ago, I've been blown away. The packaging is top tier with everything protected and organized flawlessly. The first noticeable thing was the build quality of the light itself- exceptional. The claims that they rival EcoTech Radions is 100% true. The light pucks are ideally spaced with great LED distribution. The real unsung hero of the kit is the mounting arm system. Seriously, this is the best engineered mounting arm of any aquarium lighting fixture I've ever used, hard stop, no contest. The fact that it's heavy, sturdy metal while having great aesthetics is a huge plus. No flimsy gooseneck, no sagging 90 degree arm. They use basic physics to their benefit with a curved semi-circle arm that cuts down on bulk while being incredible strong and resistant to sag- it's a no brainer! They put a perfectly placed hole in the arm to snake wiring through which sits PERFECTLY in the back curve of the arm and remains clean and out of sight for easy cable management right out of the box. The crown jewel of the mounting arm is that actual mounting bracket is adjustable with only a small set of 2 screws that makes it compatible with rimmed, rimless, and Euro Braced aquariums all without having to buy a completely different mounting system. For me this is a LIFE SAVER as I have both rimmless and euro braced tanks that I can swap these lights between to test without needing to change to a new mounting kit. This is a HUGE deal for me because so many of my past lights often had completely different mounting systems depending on the tank design which was added cost. Cons are minor. Yes, the early batches of these things have loud fans but I've been told that the new ones should be shipping with a new board to reduce noise within the next couple of months. In the meantime, Nicrew got back to me within a day and will be sending me new control boards for free for a DIY fix with guided support. TOP NOTCH customer service. The only minor complain I have is that the controller is an absolute must and must also remain PLUGGED IN at all times to utilize any lighting schedules you set up. To be clear, I don't mind the USB-C daisy chaining at all or using a controller (My ReefBreeders uses a bluetooth but far less intuitive controller and it's never been a problem) but I wish that the controller was bluetooth at the very least. For the price and quality this is absolutely NOT a deal breaker, but definitely something Nicrew could upgrade in the future. PAR is exceptional. On my 50 gallon lagoon I'm running an AB+ clone reduced to 30% and I'm getting even 100 par across the sandbed and 250+ around the top most of my aquascape with the light mounted roughly 10 inches off the water. There are some hot spots near the middle-top, but this light is also wildly overkill for the 50 lagoon and was only meant to be a proving ground for the larger lagoon build. Seriously, you're not going to find a better value light than this. Their sleek, effective, and have top tier build quality all for a fraction of the price of the upper-crust brands we all have been gaslit into believing are worth the $1k+ price tags. I'm so happy to see a newer brand shaking up the industry in this way as I believe the lighting solutions for a home reef are becoming cost-prohibitive and producing diminishing returns when it comes to price and generational improvements. You will NOT be disappointed. ... show more

Cheap alternative to Radions

I bought two of these for my 150 gallon aquarium. Very easy to use and setup. Great par. You'll definitely want the controller though for sechduling and colors.

Save your money
Size: HyperReef 200 Gen 2
Bought them just for a QT tank before putting coral in my display. Both lights have an issue with the light on the left and the center light on each unit. They are half the par as the light on the right of each unit. So I had to put two units on one side of the tank to have 300 par 14 inches deep. Basically paid the price of a radion for a 24 inch spread of consistent par. I bought the 90 degree lenses as well. Then to top it off, if you need different settings for each light, you need a controller for each light. The controllers are a pain to program especially if you make more complex schedules . It took hours to do. Needless to say I ordered radions , this is what I get for trying to save money on a qt tank. When the radions show up I’ll smash these and make a video. Screw wasting anymore time with these for a return. I currently run 2 400s and a 120 and this 90qt. If you’re a serious reefer just buy radions. These lights are for beginners grown gsp and trumpet corals . ... show more

Buy it!
Size: HyperReef 200 Gen 2
I’ve been using this light for about 6 weeks now and it is a great coral light. I used this to replace Radion xr15 pro G5’s and my corals are growing way faster now! I can’t believe it. I got the 200 watt light, the controller, and the narrow lenses and I’m probably running about 70% max right now and I’m getting 300- 350 par about 6” below the water surface. My SPS corals are loving the light this thing puts out and are growing like crazy! Buy it! - $1000 for Radions or $400 for this light - it’s up to you! ... show more
