The NW works equally as well as WW and CW IME. There is no amber, that is in the 3500K WW diodes. We do not offer cyan, however the WW have it, and...
Mark the wires going to the board with colored sharpies, for the wires going to the controller, they will be marked with wax. They are very easy to...
You lose a decent amount of light at 16", but not enough to make a huge difference on shallow tanks. On deeper tanks, you can go lower and still hit...
You can, as long as you do not break the fixture in the process, you are good to go. They come right off, they are on holders with no glue.
They covered it okay when we tested. 120 degree optics would make a huge difference, so no optics in the future. We will take your suggestions and...
10" would be plenty.
exactly
You are looking at $360 for 2 of the value fixtures with 120 degree optics, that should be plenty of light for any coral you want to keep.
Yes, you can put the plug on a timer, that is what most users do. There is a glass splash shield. Degree of optics is spread/depth penetration. The...
Yes, with sps on the bottom, the 2 units with 60 degree optics would be ideal. No, you would not need the taotronics unit. How high can you mount...
It won't work with bridgelux diodes, they are about 5 times bigger than crees, and you must use a stove, or soldering oven to remove the crees, then...
You would do well with 2 value fixtures, with 90 degree optics. If you have sps on the bottom, 60 degree optics would be a better fit.
None of our fixtures are apex compatable currently. The 24" fixture with our standard layout, and 90 degree optics would work well for your setup.
Don't worry Greg, we're working on a fixture for heavy sps reefers like you, and yes, it will use clusters, we are meeting with a programmer Sunday.
I'll make note of it :) Edit: why not swap the BL multichip for some tightly packed XMLs?
You would be fine. I would use 120 degree optics if you are concerned about sideway spread.
Thanks for the review bhazard, I am glad you like our fixtures!
Yup, be carefull with optics. My orange plate shrivelled on the sand bed at 40%, so stay low on the power, and go up 5% a week
No, that must be the picture. They are all 660.
