Test subjects come in :)

looking good! keep us posted!

 

For all of you who want to see my tank.



it's the only one that counts in my book

 

LOL- just in time for the cold weather! Love the lights- look forward to your "pros" list

 

I'll put the Pro's list up tomorrow a little under the weather, rain rain rain.... at 42-33 outside man the cold is getting to me as I get older.

 

OK for the pros. CMA's are on so wife stole the tv from me

1. Integrated timer. I like the fact that you can set up each light set individually. Big pro

2. Ease of use. I plugged her in and was up and running in the matter of min.

3. Comes with the wire hangers, most lights you have to buy them extra. The cables came in the box with nice end caps for the ceiling so you don’t see the hook.

4. One plug. Cuts down on the wire mess behind the tank. One plug powers the whole unit.

5. Quality. This is a first run unit from a new company, damn good quality for a first run. Solid nothing rattles and was shipped like a tank.

6. Able to point the HID lamps. You can point the HID lamps to get more lighting to a specific portion of your tank. For all of us who like softies to.

7. Heat. I never noticed a heck of a lot of heat build up. Everything is electronic ballast and the lamps reflector design is so the heat can escape ( I’ll see if I can’t get a shot of it tomorrow)

8. The big one YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I would like to see it a little cheaper but for the ease of use and setup it's worth the money.

If anyone is from my area feel free to stop by and mess with it a bit if you want. I expect to see great thing from them (Aquatic Life). I don’t expect a lot of manufactures due to the fact I know most of them and well 90% are junk (I'll be nice and not name any names). The bulbs seem good (Still waiting on the PAR Brett) But all in all I would give it a 7 out of 10. I still would like to see another set of T-5’s in there and some minor tweaks. Not bad for the new guys on the block.

Next week I'll test the powered RO unit (if Greg lets me aquire it for a week) I hope to get the Par and Lux done before we get the ZE setup at the shop (this light is the display light for it and the display for the shop)

 

Thought I saw a Aquatic Life Banner if so Hi Mike. Still working on B.P. to use ya.

 

Here are some shots of one of the HID's vents on top

 

When you think about it, having top vents makes more sense than side vents.

 

Well tonight we will do the Par and Lux even if I need to drive to ZE and get the dang meter myself lol.

 

Thanks for the infor on the setup!
