3*Apollo Reef LED SolarBlast Dimable fixture

I'm selling my 3*Apollo Reef LED SolarBlast Dimable fixture for $150 each.

The fixture is made up of 55 X 3 Watt BridgeLux LEDs with 90 degree optics and 2 blue LEDs on ON/OFF switch for moonlights and power consumption comes out to ~120 Watts as the LEDs are driven at ~2 watts each. LEDs are made up of a blend of Royal Blues (453 NM), UVs (405 NM), and “high noon whites” at 6500K. The fixture has three power cords and two dimable ports that you use a straight through network cable to tie into the controller of your choice. Channel one covers the whites and channel two covers the RBs/UVs and separate power and toggle switch for the moonlights. The fixtures are between 2 to 3 years old. Originall paid $290 each.

I need at least one fixture

I have five of these lights and one controller. Two I bought used with a 150 tank. I bought three more used/partially working light fixtures for parts. I am down to one fully operational fixture and would be interested in getting one more working fixture (I need two on the tank). Send me a message directly if you would like to sell one. Thanks!

If one of these is enough for a 40b (36x18x17) and will work well for corals and anemones I'm interested in one. Oh does this come with a controller or is one needed to use it?

You would need Apex VDM or a variable 0 to 10 V voltage source for controlling this fixture.

Thanks for the photo!! I have the Apollo uv 6000 lb. 2 of them over my 120 long. I'm worried that I'm not getting enough light over my center brace. Saw that you have mostly SPS. You grew all that with these lights? Very impressive. Gives me hope lol. Are you firm with price? I'm interested in 1 possibly 2

Thank you! Yes the corals grew under these lights for 2 years! Sorry I am firm on the price. But I can give you 2 for $275.

Question

Do you by chance have a controller for them? IF so do you happen to have the manual or can direct me to a pdf for the controller manual. I’ve got 5 fixtures over a 500gallon and I don’t have the manual for the controller.

You can control them using the Apex VDM unit. Thats how I used them.
