Why does BRS recommend this?
We have used many different LED lights and the Vervve is by far one of the nicest looking and easiest to use LED units on the market. The onboard interface allows you to fully control and program the light without any need for an additional controller, if you want to have an external controller and you have a smartphone you can download the free app and have full control of the Vervve Plus. Another feature that we really like is instead of taking a plain, off the shelf housing and heat-sink Giesemann custom produced their own heat-sink that doubles as the housing allowing the LED's to stay cool and lasting much longer.
The Vervve Plus comes with built in Bluetooth for easy programming without any wireless bridges or external stand-alone controllers. If multiple VerVve LED units are needed the Vervve Plus can control up to 99 Vervve One units completely wireless.
Giesemann takes their lighting units very seriously and to the next step, with high quality components and super thick outer casings to make the light last a lifetime.

Owners Manual.pdfProduct Questions
As this is a Giesemann fixture, and the Blue Plus is an ATI brand bulb, as well as the fact that the Blue Plus isn't typically a stand-alone bulb option, I don't foresee them creating a preset around this bulb, but it's fairly easy to emulate the spectral curve by running the three blue channels and UV at max intensity, the white channel at about half that, and the reds turned down to zero output.
Hope this helps!
In order to control multiple fixtures, you will need at least one Vervve Plus fixture to control the Vervve One fixtures, as this provides the programming/control interface.
Have a great day!

A lot of your lighting needs will be dictated by your rock work, and coral placement. You could easily get away with just 3 Vervve LED lights and if you can suspend them a bit higher than normal you should be just fine. Running the lights front to back, instead of side to side will really help too since the longer dimension each light has to cover will be the front to back dimension anyways.
Thanks for the questions and if you have anymore, just let us know.
While the Bluetooth signal should not be interfered with by the canopy you may still need some access to the buttons. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
You can get by with one unit and some less penetration on the edges. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
These will have a designed spread to work great over 30" x 24" tank. While one could work with less corals towards the edges for ev en coverage 2 would be best.
We recommend 3 for best spread and penetration., While two could work well with lower light corals. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
We do not currently have a comparison side by side of the lights however will consider looking into this! We do have some great photos of the layout par on each product photos
Thanks,
This will require somewhere in the range of 4 lights for best spread.
