What are the main features of this TMC AquaRay Connect?

This TMC AquaRay Connect is packed with great features that sets it apart from other alternatives:

• Ultra-clear glass optics provide excellent colour blending and consistent light spread
• WiFi connectivity and compatibility with TMC Favia
• Built-in timings and dimming with a range of effects, including storm, cloud, sunrise, and more
• Acclimation function reduces light shock for new tank additions
• Minimalist design with sleek head unit and adjustable mounting bracket
• Whisper-quiet fan
• Three adjustable lighting channels that have been spectrally tuned by independent coral researchers.

It's this light's three adjustable lighting channels that make it really stand out.

Channel A, or Reef Daylight mode, provides light between 9000-10000k. This white light mimics the intense sunlight of the tropics.

Channel B, or Coral Violet mode, provides 440nm and 390nm light. This spectrum has been proven by independent coral research labs to positively affect coral pigmentation and fluorescence.

Channel C, or Fiji Blue mode, provides 450nm light. This perfectly blue light helps to stimulate fantastic fluorescent displays in your corals.

Why is smart lighting important for my reef tank?

All marine aquariums require dedicated lighting, and the more it can be adjusted to simulate natural conditions the better. Insufficient lighting can result in coral bleaching or, in some cases, even coral death. It can also stunt the growth of fish who need a significant amount of lighting to stimulate their metabolisms.

A smart lighting system, like this one from TMC, not only gives you the spectrum of light you need for a beautiful and healthy reef tank, but the flexibility to change your settings on the go too. This WiFi connectivity and partnership with TMC Favia means that you can always keep an eye on your reef tanks lighting, no matter where you are in the world.
