I don't have a geisemann fixture but just switched from 4 t5 true lumen bulbs to 4 t5 48" geisemann bulbs and I LOVE them. the difference is unbelievable. I love the way they look but the difference it has made for my corals colors is great. I went with two actinic plus one 15000k blue plus and one pink plus. I couldn't be happier. one day ill have the extra income to buy one of their fixtures but until then ill never use a bulb not made by geisemann

Beautiful tank Hungaro Reef I have never seen that light.

vadimber · 04/01/2013, 12:17 PM

Hello!

Could please anybody help me? Several days ago I bought Giesemann Spectra with built-in moonlight blue. How its works? Is it socket for it (See red circle on photo)?

Thank you!

Vadim

Great idea!

E.intheC · 04/20/2013, 08:25 PM

Anyone else still running an Infiniti or Spectra?

loweryster · 04/20/2013, 08:31 PM

Yep, 24" Spectra with a Lumatek ballast and 400 watt Radium. Pretty happy with it. Although my next tank will be much larger and will consider T5/Led hybrid.

moondoggy4 · 04/20/2013, 09:04 PM

Infinity here 150 watt 4 x24'' on my future 40 breeder.

E.intheC · 04/20/2013, 09:15 PM

How do you like them so far? I'm looking at an Infiniti but not sure if I'm going with the 150 or 250 watt bulb. Probably 150

moondoggy4 · 04/20/2013, 10:17 PM

It is a great light the T-5 are powerful enough for just softies, for a shallow tank 20 and under I believe that a 150 is enough. I will try my hand at SPS this time a round.

poidog81 · 04/21/2013, 12:43 PM

Get the 250. You'll regret the 150 quickly.

I use my 250 infiniti over an SPS dominated tank. Amazing fixture.

I am loving my Spectra's. Never giving them up.

dowtish · 08/03/2013, 08:16 PM

I just purchased a 48" 400W Spectra for my soon to be upgrade to a 4x2x2. I am pretty stoked about it. Anybody have suggestions on their favorite T5 combos and what MH bulbs?

I sent a few emails to Xenia Inc with no replies so far. Calling them is hard since I'm working while they're working, and can't make the call until I'm done =(

No surprise my friend...I've had MANY issue's trying to get giesemann products fixed back awhile and NO HELP whatsever from xenia.
I hope they have smartened up these days for your sake !

I know you meant radiums and I am currently trying 2blue+2purple+. Really liking it so far.

moondoggy4 · 11/02/2013, 10:29 AM

Yeah Sorry LOL no spell check at work, plus stupid brain. I also have a Maristar dual 250 DE with 4 T-5's, so maybe I will try your combo with the T-5s but will have to go with Phoenix 14 K's.
Did you buy the light new? I bought a used Infinity 24'' model.

If you are running 14k I would only run one purple plus and the rest blue. Yes, I got the fixture from a friend who was getting out.

moondoggy4 · 11/03/2013, 10:26 AM

You know what would have made the Spectra even better removing the 4 T-5's and installing 2 VHO's 454 that would have made it the mack daddy.
I have 6 new bulbs to chose from 3 blue +'s 1 Purple + and 1 Coral +.
How long is the light? Have you looked into BML for that Actinic pop?

dowtish · 11/03/2013, 06:45 PM

I actually like the option of 4 t5s because of the color options. The fixture is 48" and I actually have a truelumen blue LED strip sitting on top of the tank.

Markemark · 11/06/2013, 12:18 PM

No one here wants to sell me there 72" gisesmann or know of anyone looking to get rid of it. I have the 48" spectra and love it. Just bought a new tank and need the 72" one> PLEASE HELP!
