Pulled the trigger...LED installed / Light Skirt DIY

I am just showing how happy I am for you.

 

Boys and their toys! It's fun feeling like a kid on Xmas eve again! Congrats bro

 

Will just one of these cover you entire tank?

Oh and if you worried how your corals will adjust to the new light, I'd be happy to babysit them for you, I'd even pay shipong, just to help you out

 

Well...I was going to get 2 of them...but I have seen a few 90s with one that seem to be doing nice..I will see....I think two would be a bit much...so, your saying I should have you watch my corals and then introduce them slowly...as you send them back....hmmmmm..you berry berry funny;D
lol...but hey..thanx for the offer...what are friends for ? right? ; )

 

i have a feelin you will be very pleased.

 

So this is where you buy another tank because you have an extra fixture right? No wait that is why you set up a frag tank.

Congrats.

 

I'm thinking it will be fine....I already have my T5 hood and 6 bulb sold for 200.00 (400.00 invested) NOT SAVING IT FOR A NEW TANK !!!(Corailline) LOL : )
... but that about covers the LED..so I'm cool with that.8)

Ohhhhh Corailline...If you only knew how close you are to the truth here !
..self control..self control...self control....dang..

 

Wow those LEDs look nice LG! Good buy! Not afraid to barter... I like that!! Haha

 

Well they arrived the other day and I installed them and waited for everything to acclimate before I discussed my opinion with you all.
I am glad I did not go with two..I do have some shady spots in the far corners, but I am going to rearrange some rock work and that will be solved. No light blocking issue with the brace support..I had planned on making it narrower..but not required. I am also very pleased with the one cord and the built in timer for the blue / white and moon-lite respectively...Got rid of a bunch of "stuff" around my plug ins.. : )(cable management coming soon). It was easy to set up given the simple instructions... only problem was the white setup was for the blue and visa verse..no biggie..figured that out soon enough..: )
All the corals are happy, bar none...it looks like even doing better..we will see. color is much better for SURE..love the way the colors pop out...insane ..completely insane..love it love it love it....and another bonus that I must mention, is that when I installed these I cleaned the glass..that irritating "green" haze that occurred every other day..well since I cleaned the glass, and these have been running..ABSOLUTELY CLEAN as when I cleaned it 3 days ago !!! not a trace of bloom. THAT, is worth a bunch.imo ; ) I guess those T5s were pushing a bit too much for my needs.? ..And it is also nice to not run a fan and to be able to access the whole tank with out the hood..simple pleasures ! ; ) But, overall..so far so good. I am very pleased with the performance, value and quality of this unit...I may add just one more thing..that the 3 moon-lites are a bit bright for me..but I am watching the corals..may just have them on for a couple hours and go dark a couple hours....still observing. : ) Now go get your LEDs !! : )

 

Congrats LG, tank looks great. I kinda like the look with the darker edges, kinda makes it look more like the ocean that way. I may not even fix my other strand of whites on my tank, because I'm getting a similar look as that, and well, like it.

Congrats on the purchase, the energy savings, and the lack of having to buy bulbs Show all those savings to the old lady and see if that can get the frag tank up and running!
