I ended up going with a cebu sun. Maybe in a future tank build I'll do a 6foot tank and buy the spectra.

Gondore · 02/14/2015, 10:19 PM

If any of you with the 48'' Specta unit want to sell it please let me know.

On your particular light do you have the large white piece of plastic clip that clips into the old ballast?

Or do you have a single ballast with one cord coming out of it? Kinda of long like a loaf of bread.

Yes It's large white piece of plastic clip (long cord) that clips into white piece clip of ballast. Thanks

Agreed.

If anyone has one, please post pics!

I just ordered two new Reef Brite 250 W ballasts ( solid state with LED indicators ) for my 48" Infiniti fixture. This also affirms my commitment to halides for the next 5 years. I will post up information when I install them this weekend.

Yes, you can use any MH ballast with the Giesemann fixtures. Feel free to email me with any questions concerning the Giesemann product line.

The big white clip goes into the Giesemann ballast. Not sure if they have an adapter Coralvue has one for their ballast but I am not sure about a SS ballast. It should be three wires just match the colors, you can remove the screws and look into the clip to see which color the wires are.

Another question, so m any choice for the SE (single mogul) bulbs like Radiumand more but not many for the DE, anyway I can change the Reflector and DE sockets to SE reflector and socket in the Geisemann Infinity?

Thanks

I don't believe there is enough space in the fixture to convert from DE to Mogul.

Finally got my Infiniti running today (Thanks to Chris from Coralvue!). I have the megachrome coral and find it somewhat yellow. How long is the burn time? Will it turn more blue??

I just dont want to roast the room up like crazy thank you very much

I've used the Megachrome Coral in the past but felt it was slightly too yellow and had to use a couple of Actinic+ to get the look I was after. I'm hoping that the Crystal with its 17000K colour temp means that I don't need the extra blues on permanently.

SYDaze4 · 03/22/2015, 08:41 AM

I just got myself a used 8mo old geissman Infiniti. Original owner changed out the t5s for reefbrites blue LEDs. Thoughts?

jackson6745 · 03/22/2015, 08:57 AM

I don't like that move. The t5's add to the overall coverage of the giesemann, The original should have added the reefbrites to the outside of the fixture, along with the t5's. If possible I would put t5 back in there.
