+A looking forward to seeing some pics cameraman.

thanks. i know it's not in complete detail but as long as people can understand the basic idea behind it...

i do not have, nor have i seen any uv leds on fixtures yet. i do understand that uv is important for coloring/keeping sps corals and other high light demanding corals. since 420nm has forever been an important wavelength for corals i had wondered if i should add 420nm actinics to supplement but...

i too have heard about ai having issues, but as 2quills has pointed out it is an easy repair. i have seen the sol blue model on a tank and it looks like a very simple clean unit. on the other hand acan lighting has really good customer service. acan lighting is technically an ecoray fixture...

okay so i talked to couple people and they are saying the amount of reds that are going on the pendants it should produce a 10k color temp. 6red 12blue 12white each color dimmable should be okay. i might have to strategically place them so that they don't have a focused point of red. as of...

i have built some and they get hot. i have felt mine after the day it burns my hand. i have felt acan lightings....my reef club meetings are held at their main office...and they get hot. i have a marineland reefbright and that burned me and those are 1w leds. i believe that you have seen and...

i am tired of removing 40gallons and then filling 40gallons every week. so i had done some research about making a auto water change system and there are not many posts about creating any system. i also had thought... the ocean stays stable constantly. so if i change a couple of gallons out a...

lois, i am not trying to piss you off.... i am just trying to help. and it still can be changed. the control center can be just moved and wires lengthened.

yes ACRYLIC57, i have a fan on each heatsink. as far the connection that i have redone.... solder and shrink tubed on the fixture. as far as the driver connections , fuses, and 120v feed they are mounted to a board 10 feet from the tank. they are hidden from plain site...they are an eye sore. i...
