Thunderstorms

Aquaray from TMC, there 8 way controller runs the storm effect, a bit pricey for what you get but they cut down on the amount of PSU's needed.

 

Yeah ReefAngel does thunderstorms. You can do anything with it really. I don't think I'll ever run a T-Storm on my radions but when I get my 410nm bar up Ill have my ReefAngel use them for moonlights to match the lunar cycle. Because thats really cool!

 

I don't understand it all yet but this reef angel looks pretty sweet, decent price as well

 

The Reef Angel is very cool. I hop to get it when I have money for a controller.

I know the NanoBox comes pre-programmed with storms/cloud cover/lunar cycles, and I think sunrise/sunset as well.

 

the thunderstorm feature is pretty neat all the fish swim around like its feeding time. As for lights that have it there are many. Pacific Sun, Reef tech LED and Vertex so of the more high-end fixtures there are many more but cant get the lights in the US. My vertex is the easiest to program for sunrise and sunset i can make it come from the right, left or all at once.
The reef angel would be a good option i thought many times about selling my RKL and getting one. You need to know something about programming or know someone that does to take advantage of reef angel though.

 

Which vertex model and how much was it?

 

The Reef Angel is very cool but it's not plug and play for anything. You have to download code. The nicest thing about it is when you have problems Roberto will give you all the help you need to get it going. I said "when" because you will have problems. I hope you have good eyes because I can cover the display screen with my pinky. I sent mine back but for those that have patience and time and the desire to write code this is definitely the way to go.

 

yes, not for everyone, but that's what is cool about open source, it is forever improving...code makes the GUI you-ee !! crunch crunch crunch.. lol ; )
oh, almost forgot...jmo. lmao. : )

 

I have the Vertex SR260 1200mm its the 48" fixture and it cost about $3K including the red modules and vlink.

 

..and next year it will be 1500.00.. ; ) wooowho ! ;D
