Thanks yes in the evening ramp down period.

chadfarmer · 10/22/2012, 04:33 PM

is there a mod yet for the fans to turn on at lower temps?

At this time there isn't a MOD to turn on the fans at a lower temperature. The fans currently turn on around 125F. I have never seen the fans turn on when in open air. The fans were added to the Razors for situations where users install them in a canopy.

mafia · 10/22/2012, 07:03 PM

look big. and not cheaply made like this dude was telling me.. thanks for the pic

mtlreeffreak · 10/22/2012, 07:07 PM

its actually really not that "big"

trust me go with the Maxspect you wont be disappointing! im so happy I bought 3 of them

bayoupr · 10/22/2012, 07:13 PM

I had the AI sol blues and really like them. I got the Razor 16k's and the color is somewhat different, a good different IMO. When I go back up with my new build I will be using these again, just don't know yet how many I will be able to keep depending on my new tank size but they are really nice fixtures.

Could you explain a bit more on how the Razor color was different? Thanks.

bayoupr · 10/22/2012, 07:43 PM

Greens were about the same and my purple monti cap, nice and bright. Made my orange monti cap and orange mushrooms pop more color wise. All and all, nice coloring for me. I can't compare to a Vega, Radion or Mitrus, only the SOL Blue.

Here are some pics of my Cadlights 50 with a 16K 20.5" Razor. I've got a Kessil a150 12K on the back because I didn't feel the maxspect alone was enough coverage. I was getting shadows without it and kept it even though the plan was to sell the Kessil once I got the Razor.

AquaAngel · 10/24/2012, 01:02 PM

I am really looking into these fixtures for my new 90g (two 120w fixtures). How did you guys sync more than 1 fixture? Did setting them separately bug you?

Thanks

mafia · 10/24/2012, 03:07 PM

just ordered a 10k 160w.. all i need is to find a place online that sell rimless tank.

chadfarmer · 10/24/2012, 09:38 PM

Ran mine for 15 mins and fans turned on, very quiet but the thing gets really warm

I had them running 100%

Mine never turned on. Did you have yours in a canopy?

no in open room

Mike de Leon · 10/25/2012, 03:57 PM

Strange. Mine hangs off the ceiling. Fans have never turned on. Could it be defective??

heat sink hardly feels warm. You should check with Chris at Coralvue. Are you using the supplied stand or is it hanging?

I am also blasting my tank with the light now. I have 100% for both blue and white for four hours.

I found, once acclimated, the corals that lost their colour regains it back as the light gets ramped up to higher settings.

chadfarmer · 10/25/2012, 06:13 PM

Supplied stand anything over 80% gets warm

Whats everyones temps on there units

Nice tank!!

Mike de Leon · 10/26/2012, 05:48 PM

So hows about some picture folks!?? They say it's worth a thousand words!

Pom Herder · 10/27/2012, 10:04 AM

Anybody got these mounted inside a canopy? The legs they come with won't work over a glass tank with glass tops if inside a canopy. How are folks mounting these inside canopies? Pictures would be great. Thanks.
