ReefBreeders Manufacturer Warranty
The ReefBreeders Meridian Original is a low-profile reef LED fixture with an extended violet range (400–440 nm, including true 440 nm indigo), interchangeable OHM optics, and six-channel control from the ReefBreeders app. This page is for the Original LED layout stocked under ReefH2O SKUs RB17631, RB17632, and RB17633. Choose 24, 35, or 45. Ships via UPS.
Each size ships with OHM Balance optics installed and a power supply. Mounting hardware—side legs, back-of-tank mounts, and hanging wires—is sold separately, as supplied by ReefBreeders. Recommended mounting height is 10–14 inches (25–35 cm) above the waterline with the included Balance optics. Pair a Meridian 35 with a 48-inch TRUVU saltwater aquarium, or a Meridian 45 with a 60-inch TRUVU saltwater aquarium. Browse all saltwater aquariums.
Features
- Original LED layout: a 20K blue look with all channels equal, a high white-to-blue ratio, and four 440 nm indigo LEDs on a dedicated channel.
- Six-channel app control: schedules, sunrise and sunset ramps, and moon-phase simulation in the ReefBreeders app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (separate modes chosen at setup). Programs are saved on the light.
- OHM Balance optics included: 90° spread for most reef tanks. OHM Focus and OHM Encompass lenses are sold separately and can be mixed across matrices.
- Independent sections: Meridian 24 and larger sizes offer independent control of two sections of the fixture.
- Aluminum body with isolated cooling: mostly passive cooling, plus variable-speed, temperature-controlled fans that ReefBreeders rates IP67 and isolates from the internals.
- ICS link rails: connect multiple Meridians end to end. Daisy-chain power up to 600 watts total with a larger power supply and cables, sold separately.
- Optional manual controller: sold separately; two knobs for white and blue, plus built-in timing. No app required.
- Edge bar ready: front and rear tracks accept Meridian Edge bars and articulating mounts, sold separately.

Specs from ReefBreeders’ official Meridian 24, 35, and 45 product pages (Original layout). ReefBreeders also makes Meridian 11 and 63 sizes and a Shallow Reef LED layout that we do not currently stock. Fixture weights are ReefBreeders’ published figures. ReefH2O listed an 11 lb weight on the Meridian 24 page, which does not match the official 5.9 lb fixture weight. ReefBreeders may update parts and ratings between production runs.

Shipping
Ships via UPS. This is an aquarium light, not an aquarium, so it does not ship freight.
Warranty
The ReefBreeders Meridian is covered by ReefBreeders’ manufacturer warranty only. ReefBreeders warrants the light for two years and the external power supply for one year from the original purchase date. For products bought from a third-party retailer, ReefBreeders requires registration within 90 days of purchase. See the ReefBreeders packaging, manual, and warranty policy for terms. TRUVU does not provide a separate warranty on ReefBreeders products.
FAQ
Are mounting legs or hanging kits included?
No. ReefBreeders sells side legs, back-of-tank mounts, and hanging wires separately. The fixture includes adjustable M6 mounting bolts on top of the case.
Which size should I choose?
Use ReefBreeders’ coverage figures in the chart above with the included OHM Balance optics. The Meridian 24 is built around a 24-inch class footprint (36 × 24 in mixed reef). The Meridian 35 covers a 48 × 24 in mixed reef, a good match for a 48-inch TRUVU saltwater tank. The Meridian 45 covers a 60 × 24 in mixed reef, a good match for a 60-inch TRUVU saltwater tank. Shop all saltwater aquariums.
Is this the Shallow Reef layout?
No. These SKUs are the Original layout. Shallow Reef is a separate LED arrangement that ReefBreeders also sells; we do not currently stock it.
What warranty does it have?
It is covered by ReefBreeders’ manufacturer warranty only (two years on the light, one year on the power supply, with registration required within 90 days for third-party purchases). TRUVU does not provide a separate warranty on ReefBreeders products.
