The all new 2023 model year ReefBreeders Pico LED has been overhauled from the bottom up- making it one of the best options for small aquariums out there!
One major change is the new controller- we developed an advanced yet simple to use interface. The original Pico had a simple on and off switch. The ReefBreeders Pico has an 8, 10, 0r 12 hour timer that ramps up and down throughout the day for a sunrise and sunset effect. You can set the maximum intensity in 10% increments, and moonlights can be toggled on or off. If you want to use your own timer for even more advanced settings, the controller can be removed from the light and bypassed by plugging the light directly into the power supply for use with a 3rd party timer system.
In addition to an upgraded controller with a whole suite of features, the 2023 Pico comes with a 28.5% power boost from 7watts to 9watts of power. The new onboard heat sink allows the LEDs to be run at a significantly higher intensity without overheating for an extended LED lifespan. The 2023 Pico is available in 3 color spectrums:
Saltwater Reef: Designed with corals in mind! 1 x 6500K Cool White, 3 x 450nm Royal Blue, 1 x 420nm Violet, 1 x 480nm Cool Blue. Covers SPS up to 10" x 10", LPS up to 14" x 14", and Soft Corals up to 16" x 16".
Refugium: Well suited for all types of algae- from macro-algae like chaeto, red dragon, etc. to phytoplankton. This color spectrum was first pioneered by ReefBreeders in 2013. 1 x 450nm Royal Blue, 5 x 660nm Deep Red. Covers refugiums up to 18"x18"
Freshwater/Display Refugium: Purpose made for growing both saltwater and freshwater macro-algae. The color is much easier on the eyes, so if you plan on using your refugium as a display or growing freshwater plants- this is the color for you! 3 x 6500K Cool White, 2 x 3500K Warm White, 1 x 450nm Royal Blue. Covers tanks up to 18" x 18"
The heat sink is 2.9" in diameter, with a 3.45" diameter light shield. The light is 1.25" tall and has a 10" long gooseneck mount.
Main Features:
- Dimmable sunrise, sunset, and moonlight controller included
- The power output has been increased by 23% from 7watts to 9watts
- Onboard heat sink reduces running temp and increase LED life
- Integrated light shade reduces light spill outside the aquarium
- Corrosion resistant matte black hardware

The size and power of this lights is great for more than one application. It's prefect for my refugium in my sump but it would make a amazing pico or nano tank light highly highly recommended.
We do not have the appropriate sized tank yet for this light (that is in the works). However, we did test it out on our 32 gallon reef and we were very impressed with both the ease of use and the quality of your mix of LEDs. The coloration was great and we are now looking at setting up a 10 gallon underneath it.
Excellent product
Only improvement would be some type of clock setting but otherwise, this is an amazing little light. Much more sturdy than I was expecting.
For this price point it is difficult to include a clock- so the controller simply needs to be set at your desired start time. We do have plans for an add on that allows for app programming in the future. We developed the ligths with a removable controller in order to provide an upgrade path down the road. Thank you for your feedback and for being a valued ReefBreeders customer! Stay tuned for updates on this in the new year.
Pretty happy with the light and controls. Only improvement i would suggest is the mount. My sump has a rim brace (CR44) So i just used a screw through the hole already in the bracket!
