Growing algae in a refugium setting can help manage and combat reef tank nutrient issues, like phosphates and nitrates. One of the biggest keys to a successful refugium is having the proper light. Zetlight's E200S LED Panel Light is designed for refugiums, with light spectrums peaking in the 450-480nm to 580-650nm range with over 55W of power almost any refugium will benefit from upgrading to this light. There are a couple of better lights for growing macroalgae on the market, most notably the Kessil H380, but when comparing pricing the Zetlight E200 is a great option.
With the Horizon App, or with your home's router you can control the E200 LED light through your smartphone. Controlling the light allows you to set multiple points throughout the day with ramping and spectrum changes. The Horizon App lets you access their cloud technology that can communicate to the light from anywhere there is an internet connection. Horizon does require that your light is connected to the internet through a WiFi connection for the app to access it.
