New pics as promised

That purple looks great. I had a question about your circulation. I see that you have a fan setup pointing from the back to the front of the tank. How does that work for the circulation? I assume that the flow bounces off the front of the tank and splits in two different currents.

 

yeah it works pretty good spreads all around its a Hydor 1050 and I think the other one is a Hydor 400

 

more pics;D

 

and a few more....lol;D

 

Looks really blue, that just the phone camera? I am either getting 1 of these fixtures or the 72 W cree. Not sure though. It would be for my 40 breeder.

 

its blue because the blue's are turned up more than the whites i'm still acclimating the corals it all evens out if both percents are the same for the price you cant beat this one its 2 of the $200 dollar fixtures in one you only have to hang one this thing weighs i'll make a guess atleast 10lbs or so its got a one peice solid heatsink its very well made you just have to wait awhile on it thats the only draw back it took me about 3 weeks to get it its a special order or atleast when I got mine it was;D

 

Yea I would only need 1 of these fixtures. It looks pretty bulky ( i may consider to not use a canopy eventually.) But it looks like a great bang for the buck. I saw someones tanks with the 72W Crees though and they color was AMAZING. I am wondering if the color is generally better with the Crees over the Bridgelux. I was told by reefbreeders that a 72 W fixture wont be very strong for my 40 breeder. However... i probably wont ever go into SPS. Just softies and a few lps.

What you all think?

 

they say the only difference in the Cree's is the power bill is just a hair cheaper they burn just a little less power they told me with this light you can keep anything;D

 

I am not too worried about the power bill. Plus I guess 96W would be better than 72W. I was always informed that Crees are far stronger than each bridgelux. I actually was running a DIY bridgelux fixture (from Aquastyle online). But i want more colors and a real professional fixture. I am going to modify my DIY old fixture for a planted freshwater tank ;D.

So what you all think, the 72W Cree or the 96W bridgelux? I do like the fact it is a very nice professional setup with 4 clusters of multi colored LED's.

 

bump!
