New NICREW HyperReef Gen 2 available on Amazon.

[Skep18]

I had been waiting for them to release on Amazon for a couple of weeks. Bought mine. FYI to anyone else waiting.

Note, I had to checkout multiple times with 1 unit at each checkout to get the $112 off coupon to apply to each light. If you buy multiple lights in one checkout, you will only redeem one coupon.

Amazon product

Looks like that $112 includes the extra 10% off for the "early bird special". 10% applies to the $319 price but still a good discount.

Following hoping that you post a review! That $112 coupon makes it a very tempting impulse buy lol

I just bought 3 with the controller will I need any extra wires to daisy chain them?

The 112$ coupon make these lights way more appealing and they have the power to deliver

I think they connect together with USBC cables so you may need some for that

I emailed them asking the same. I dont think the lights come with a USB cable but thinking the controller will. Im expecting to buy 2 3ft cables for my 3 lights.

EDIT: Per @rtparty above, the Gen2 connect via USB C. They're 5 channel so no hope of Apex control.

Just ordered 2 to dabble with lol

Just got the below reply from Nicrew Support...

Thank you for reaching out and for ordering the HyperReef Gen 2 and its controller.

Please note that the light does not include a USB-C cable, while the controller does come with a 2-meter USB-C cable. You will need two additional USB-C cables for full connection and control.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I don't see the mounting rails available yet. Anyone find them? If I like the 2 HyperReef 200w I bought with the controller, I will probably buy 2 more and would need the rail to mount them over my 200 gallon Innovative Marine mixed Reef. For now I am going to test them on my SR 120 PRO

Hum I am just getting a $79 coupon.

When my gen4 radions all die, I may have to replace them with these. 3 of these is still less than one radion....

The discount is a percentage of the price. The HyperReef 100 is only $79 off. The $112 applies to the 200's.

My lights showed up last night. One in a very mangled Amazon box but the product box looked fine. Guessing a corner got ripped up or something. Gonna build some mounting system maybe today and work towards installing them. From what I see though the hardware looks nice. Packaging is nicer than what I've gotten in other lights. I'm really pretty surprised at the price being so low considering what the other options are priced at. Here's to hoping they perform well, though I have little doubt they will.

I'm interested in these lights too. Do you think two 100 watts will be good enough for a 48 inch 83 gallon tank?

just curious why you're selling the Noopsyches. I'm actually between those and this light, but most likely I'm going to get the nicrews because I've heard Noopsyche has bad customer service and it takes a long time for them to ship.

i had two 100w gen 1s and it was perfect. Just got the new 100w gen 2s and it has an even better spread. I have an 48” 80 gallon tank also
