Expert Tips

Understanding the REEF-SPEC® Spectrum

Red Sea’s ReefLED G2 lights are designed around their REEF-SPEC® standard — a scientifically backed spectrum that supports both photosynthesis and vibrant coral coloration. The combination of deep blue, violet, and a carefully tuned white channel enhances coral fluorescence while reducing unwanted algae growth. The G2 models also include a dedicated moonlight channel to simulate natural lunar cycles without interrupting coral rest phases.

Maximizing PAR and Light Spread

Each ReefLED G2 light features an optical glass lens and a new generation of LEDs that provide even light distribution without hotspots or dead zones. Mount the ReefLED 60 G2 around 8–10 inches above water for nano tanks, and 10–12 inches for the 115 G2 and 170 G2 in larger tanks. Red Sea’s RMS mounting arms are designed for secure placement and allow for simple height and angle adjustments to fine-tune your light spread.

Smart Control with ReefBeat

The ReefBeat app is central to the Red Sea Lighting ecosystem. With it, you can set photoperiod schedules, monitor energy output, and create acclimation programs to help new corals transition into your lighting environment. The app also alerts you if power is disrupted or if your lights fall out of sync — giving you peace of mind even when you're away.

Pairing with Red Sea Tanks

ReefLED G2 lights are specifically designed to complement Red Sea's aquarium systems, both in performance and form. If you’re using a Red Sea Reefer or MAX tank, the RMS mounting kits integrate seamlessly, keeping cables tidy and the display clean. These lights maintain the same sleek aesthetic Red Sea is known for, without compromising coral health or spectrum accuracy.

Installation & Maintenance

Installing Your Red Sea ReefLED Lights

Red Sea’s ReefLED G2 fixtures are designed for straightforward setup with a clean, modern look. These lights can be mounted directly using their respective mounting arms. Each model has a mounting solution tailored to its size and intended coverage area, making installation quick and seamless whether you're setting up a nano tank or a full reef display.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Lights

To keep your Red Sea Lights performing at their best:

Wipe the lens every 2–4 weeks using a soft microfiber cloth and RO/DI water to remove salt creep and surface dust.
Check the cooling vents regularly for buildup. Dust or salt can reduce airflow and increase fixture temperature, so a quick visual inspection helps prevent performance issues.
Update via ReefBeat: Red Sea occasionally releases firmware updates to improve light control and app functionality. The ReefBeat app will notify you when updates are available — just tap to install.

Using a PAR Meter with ReefLED G2

For serious reefers, using a PAR meter helps dial in ideal light zones:

Soft corals and zoanthids: 75–150 PAR
LPS corals: 100–200 PAR
SPS corals: 200–350+ PAR

The G2 series produces uniform PAR output across its coverage area, but tank layout and mounting height can still affect how much light reaches specific coral colonies. Testing your tank's light zones allows you to adjust placement and intensity for optimal coral health.

Red Sea Lighting FAQs

What makes Red Sea Lighting different from other aquarium lights?

Red Sea Lighting is built around their proprietary REEF-SPEC® spectrum, optimized for coral growth, coloration, and long-term health. The ReefLED G2 series delivers uniform PAR, deep penetration, and a natural shimmer — all controlled through the ReefBeat app.

Which Red Sea light is best for my tank?

- ReefLED 60 G2 is great for nano tanks and smaller reef systems.

- ReefLED 115 G2 is ideal for medium-sized tanks with mixed corals.

- ReefLED 170 G2 is best for larger tanks or SPS-focused aquascapes needing high output and broad coverage.

How do I control Red Sea ReefLED lights?

All Red Sea Lights connect via the ReefBeat app, giving you control over spectrum, intensity, photoperiods, acclimation modes, and alerts — including power loss or sync issues.

Can I hang or mount the ReefLED G2 lights?

Yes, but it’s important to note that mounting arms and hanging kits are sold separately. Red Sea offers dedicated accessories for both mounting styles, allowing you to choose the setup that best fits your aquarium layout.

How often should I clean my Red Sea Lighting fixtures?

Wipe the lens every 2–4 weeks with RO/DI water and a soft cloth to remove salt creep. Check vents periodically to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating, especially in high-humidity environments.
