Going topless has never been more rewarding!
We are proud to launch our new K-2 Viper HQI Clamp on Lamp Series. The K-2 Viper offers a streamline design to fit on virtually any small reef tank (eg. Nano-Cube) or use it in series for larger aquariums. All models include one 14,000K (Double-Ended) metal halide lamp which casts the most intense amount of light for SPS, Clams and Hard Corals.
Versatility keeps you in control
The K-2 Viper will virtually fit on any size aquarium! Our unique design allows you to angle the light right where you need it most. With 3 separate adjustment knobs, you can configure the way you deem most fitting for you live inhabitants` lighting needs.
Replicating Mother Nature
There is nothing more intense or spectacular than the vibrant rays the sun can produce. But, we sure came close to emulating the power of the sun enclosed in a compact design for the next best thing. The K-2 Viper is guaranteed to instantly transform aquariums with fluorescent lighting into showroom display tanks with rhythmic shimmering throughout the tank and intensified light output. Your live inhabitants won`t know the difference, we guarantee it!
All models are pre-installed with our 14,000K Double-Ended HQI lamp that produces a crisp, ice-white color with a tint of blue to accent corals and fish. Your unit also includes our “Hammertone” reflector for maximum reflective efficiency surrounded by a UV Glass Shield to protect you and livestock from harmful UV output.
Plug-N-Play Operation
The K-2 Viper is so EASY to install you`ll be on your way to the most spectacular lighting display you`ve ever seen within minutes!
- Clamp mounting bracket on back of aquarium & tighten screws
- Configure adjustment knobs to your desired positions
- Plug in power cord into remote ballast and simply turn ON
- High performance with virtually NO EFFORT!
Keep it Remote
Your K-2 Viper comes equipped with a remote UL recognized metal halide ballast with male/female disconnects to safely position it away from moisture and salt build up. All ballasts are housed in an aluminum vented exterior for heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.

Comments: THIS THING IS FREAKIN' HUGE! It dwarfs the regular K2 fixture. The build quality seems pretty comparable to the original K2. Not great but not horrible. There is more plastic now, which houses the fan assembly.
The fan and HQI share the the same power, so the fan can not be timed with a timer separate from the light, although they are on separate switches so one can be on while the other is off. Good for emergencies when air conditioners fail! The Blue LEDs have a nice look, not too bright, and a little more purplish than the original integrated hood LEDs. The LEDs are on a separate power cord, so they can be run on a timer for lunar light cycles, which is recommended because there is no switch.
The fan cools very well! At low, it dropped my tank 2 degrees in about 10 minutes, at which point my heater kicked in, keeping my tank a PERFECT 78 degrees! Awesome.
THE FAN ON HIGH IS A FREAKIN' JET ENGINE! Really loud, and blowing a TON of air. I bet you it would cool any tank down very quickly, and very low. At low, the noise is not what I'd describe as low. Not loud enough to be annoying, but you can it hear it's hum. When I first powered it up, it emitted a high pitched whine, but it subsided. I guess it was the bearings loosening up or something.
The fixture installed at a perfect 90 degree angle (pictured) leaves the light over a foot off the water, so you're not going to get all the light out of the unit you might like. I found it a little too dim for my tastes that high. I think a 250w would be more appropriate for a 24 gallon if installed that high off of the water. I adjusted the lamp so it was closer to the water but then the LEDs are angled back to the fan, not the water. Kinda sucks. There will probably be some bounce in to the tank, so better than nothing, but far from ideal.
I would recommend one of these for those without a chiller. This product keeps my tank cool, and I love the 14K Bulbs look.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Lamp works great. I love the shimmer that it puts off. The fan I run on high when the light is on not as much noise on high as to low speed. My critters seem to love the lighting they are now starting to spread. It is an overall great product. I am a beginner with a bio cube but I have been doing very well. I did the T5's and don't like them as well. I would recommend this to anyone.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
