heres the thread on the pc-Rs and t5 retrofits coming for AIO tanks
http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...=216671&st=120
and here is the information I'm suggesting for PC guys
Stock (Coralife (eww) Stock 36w 10000K + Stock 36w Actinic Blue) - Steady State PAR - 78 @ 12 in
UVL (UVL (sexy) internal reflector T5 PC 36w Actinic White + 36w 454 Actinic) - SSPAR - 123 @ 12 in
A WHOPPING 57% increase in PAR vs STOCK!!!
To be fair and unbaised, I plugged in our bulbs
Nanocustoms Brand PC bulbs (Nanocustoms 36w 10000K + Nanocustoms 36w Actinic Blue) - SSPAR - 96 @ 12 in
So in summary
Stock - 78 PAR
NC - 96 PAR
UVL - 122 PAR
Our bulbs are 23% more output than stock Oceanic, but not as much output as UVL (UVL has a 28% advantage over NC bulbs). Not bad for $9.95 (Nanocustoms bulbs)

Hey kat, i experimented with something on my koralia 1 today. I wasnt satisfied with the flow in my tank after the addition with more sps. I cut off every other fin on my k1 and it produced a hell of a lot more flow! you should try it on the nano's

Down side to that is.. you might see a fishhead in the sand;)
Everything can get into the blades easier now.
