My new toy from Aqua Illuminations

[jackson6745]

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the light on a stocked thank. Thanks for posting this thread.
I think this should be moved to the GD forum so more people can see.

 

[Cherrycorals]

I can start a thread there if its o.k. with the mods.

 

[cali_reef]

Where are the mod gods? I think this belongs in the general thread.

This will be the end of MH and LED if all the claims proofed to be true, still need my super VHO or T5 actinics for night mode viewing:lol2:.

Do you have a tank thread for the monster tank built? That's a real "dream come true tank"..

 

[ClosetFishGeek]

This is very interesting....Get a move on.....:splitspin

 

[Cherrycorals]

PAR readings thus far are:

Just below the surface ~ 300-350
8" below the surface ~ 200-250
at the bottom of the 26" tank 75-100

The water could have been a little cleaner(gravel) but these numbers should work quite well.

Thanks again to Seachem and Marco Rocks!!! I really love the Kona Coast substrate.

Marco Rocks hooked me up with some of the nicest rock I have ever seen!!! Great shapes and easy to get a nice scape going.

The tank isn't online yet its all on its own right now with Vortechs for circulation. I will be on vaca for a week so I'll toss in a molly while I am gone.

Left side

Middle(hourglass shape rock is my fav!)

Right

 

[ecvernon]

is that the new type of rock that marc has advertised now?

 

[tomtoothdoc]

how energy efficient is it in the real world? would someone care to compare the plasma vs. 400mh, 250 mh, and led's.....say electricity cost per hour at specific par value at the same depth? any electrical engineers/mathematicians want to chime in?

 

[sjsoto]

if all goes well, performance wise, how much would it cost? (interested) .....

 

[Cherrycorals]

Its not the new smart start rock but it is very clean, I like it.

I will try to get some more data via my reefkeeper elite and I plan to order a killawatt meter.


Looks like some where in the $1000 area.

Any updates ??? Does anyone know if SANJAY checked out this light yet ?

 

[Cherrycorals]

No updates right now other than corals are doing just fine under this light.

I just put up a 8 tube 54 watt next to it so we can take some shots of that soon. Chris is going to walk me through wiring it for control by my ReefKeeper. I am a little nervous, I would hate to fry either!

 

[ecvernon]

still using this light?

 

[Bob 1000]

Yeah I wonder how it's going, hope all is well..

 

[Cherrycorals]

Sadly I have nothing new to report. Chris from AI hasn't sent me back a dimmable model.

Until he does its T5's for me.

 

[fish keeper 7]

Still using this light by any chance? or did you stick with the T5s?
