Royal blue and white LEDs alone is an "old school" concept, new LEDs come out every 6 months or so, and the old series quickly falls behind. A...
That is about a sixth the power of 250watt mh, and not adjustable color wise.
Nice corals! Be sure you get 420nm violet, UV will harm your corals.
...And christmas should be the end of the week, lol. I really like the BRS chemicals, it is pure stuff, and cheaper than having someone mix it for...
Dosing equally is a myth. On one system, I use more alk than Ca, on another, more Ca than alk. My params are solid as a rock, and a heavy one at that.
Are you looking for LEDs, T-5, mh, etc.?
I prefer not to have a UV sterilizer, unless you have a FOWLR system. In a reef tank, it kills beneficial plankton and copepods that get pulled...
There are plugs in the back of the unit, I kinda would like to wire it myself, B/C then I could put the outlets anywhere, but outlets on the back...
IDK, I cna tell you that 30 watts of bridgelux will not come close to a 250 watt metal halide, it will be about a quarter power. His other post was...
For switching off pumps and stuff, I always have to go under my stand to unplug my skimmer, so it will make it a little easier
How about ca/alk? Stability is key
Thanks Mike, they will be in next week, they are in the USA right now. They were held a few days before shipping, I did not know this until they...
Just ordered one, hopefully it will be at my house monday!
A trip to walmart later, and we have a working camera!We will shoot some pics in HD of our new fixture
Yes it will work very well. I have moved more towards bridgelux fixtures, you lose some efficiency, but you have the ability to add 420nm violets,...
90, 60 degree optics are only reccomended for tanks 30" deep
I prefer these, as they have the heatsink, and come with optics, and they are cube shaped fixtures, so they are perfect for cube shaped tanks.
2 is better, as you get more spread than with just one. The 8 orb one will cover a 40 breeder sps heavy, the 4 orb would be more of sps in the...
Yes, 2 weeks from now, they will be in stock and ready to ship, we ordered a bunch!
I prefer 2 of the 4 orb ones, as you will get better coverage. The 8 orb ones will be special order for now, so 2 weeks lead time, at $399 each. The...
