Coming from ati t5's, had to get the uv's!

Just emailed Sam, I hope it was him. I am looking for a light for a 30 gallon half round tank. It is 27"tall deep. I am not looking to grow sps in this tank so I don't need a bunk of light. It looks like I will be trying one of these black boxes as well.

I think the pix with the chinese ones look great. What do you think? How do you like the look compared to your other lights?

Chromey316 · 05/14/2012, 06:55 PM

I love the look, But damn they are bright. The are 15" Above the water.

My tank is 24" deep and everything at the bottom is still very happy after 3 days.

Im not going to bash Reefbrites at all, They are great lights,The grew everything in my tank, But these are just WOW.

Travis1787 · 05/14/2012, 06:58 PM

Travis1787 · 05/14/2012, 06:59 PM

those look good..... what unit did you go with????

Travis1787 · 05/14/2012, 08:07 PM

If you get violets on these units wouldn't you want the on the blue power supply so when your day and night lights are on your violets are on? Cause aren't that for adding extra pop and more specific colors to the coral? Or maybe half the violets on blues side and other half on whites?

Chromey316 · 05/14/2012, 08:14 PM

30 blue to 25 white.
I didnt not buy a BRAND name.

I can buy these And put a sticker on them, Then these would be my Brand right...?

This is what i was saying in a past post, Thats all that these retailers are doing, Buying No name, WELL made led lights and putting thier sticker on it and charging 2-3X more, as thier own brand.

Dont fall for the hype.

Travis1787 · 05/14/2012, 08:23 PM

And what size tank are they running on? 2 units? Or 3?

Chromey316 · 05/14/2012, 08:30 PM

sorry Its a 72" tank 3 units 120' optics.

Travis1787 · 05/14/2012, 09:10 PM

Chromey would you say your ratio is super blue or could be a tad bluer?

biecacka · 05/14/2012, 10:12 PM

Chromey tank dimensions please
I have a 72/24/30 tank and I'm thinking about theses lights
Corey

Chromey316 · 05/15/2012, 06:01 AM

Travis, Im used to more blue, coming from Reef brites, But these lights make the tank look like a picture frame, DO not go less the 30Blue 25 White, I think it would be too white.

biecacka, My tank is 72"x24"x18".
If you got 3 units, you would be happy, choose the right unit, (good LEDs) No epistars,and the right optics. optics(120')

Travis1787 · 05/15/2012, 06:13 AM

Chromey if anything I was thinking of going with more blues and some violets something like

30 blue
20 white
5 violets

I'm trying to copy the boost led unit which is 119 leds at

65 blues
42 whites
12 violets

My ratio x2 unit would be

60 blues
40 whites
10 violets

Clos to the boost unit that I like the color of being short 5 blues 2 whites and 2 violets not sure if it will be the same though I'm trying to do my research

Chromey316 · 05/15/2012, 06:22 AM

the boost LEDs are 1 watt each right?
My reef brites were 1 W each and I have More leds witht he reefbrites.

Yet the china LEDS are brighter in everyway with less LEDs being 3W, driven at 630Ma.

Travis1787 · 05/15/2012, 06:45 AM

Yea there 1 watt each I just like there color its sxactly what I want so I'm trying to mirror there colors and ratios on a 55 led unit....

And I have one reef brite on my tank for adding some blue and for my day and night lights and I loooooooooooove it

Travis1787 · 05/15/2012, 06:51 AM

I like this kinda crisp look. And ill post another also

Chromey316 · 05/15/2012, 06:56 AM

If i didnt suck so bad with pictures, Id like to show you really what these lights looks like... Ill try again today.

WHat size is that tank travis?

Travis1787 · 05/15/2012, 07:05 AM

I like this too but maybe a little more whiteness to this look ... I stole both these pics from this thread lol

Travis1787 · 05/15/2012, 07:09 AM

Right now its a 65 but I'm gonna be setuping up a 60 long 18 wide and 24 tall 120 gallon tank

I am almost postive after my research I can get away with two cause its not gonna be an sps heavy tank cause I may do agressive fish and do just softies but if I did 3 it would be tons of light to grow anything I just don't need that much
