There really is no misinformation. The Orphek Nilus (better version) is a decent light that is vastly overpriced by nearly $600. It doesn't even...
120w at around 2w per led is still pretty universal. ~9000 lumens as advertised means each led is only putting out around 160 lumens on average,...
Those are poor examples. a 10k halide is not a led, and someone who uses a $900 orphek light which can easily be emulated by a $199 led light leads...
I used green next to my cyan. I tested the cyan without the green and preferred the look. Adding green color shifts things a little too green if...
Green is pointless with Cyan and Neutral Whites. I'm removing the green in my light. Red 660 and Violet 420-430nm make the most visual difference....
The leds are soldered onto a pcb board made specifically for the fixture. Think of it as one giant led star. It allows them to be placed closer,...
I own the 48 led version over my nano. The 96 led version can easily cover 48" of tank length, and its pushing 180+ watts. They're excellent lights,...
How is it a hijack? Are we not talking about 120w Chinese fixtures?
You could get away with one, especially if it has a canopy. Add another later on if you feel it isn't enough. Green, mostly aesthetic. Too many...
They're basically 60, 80, or 90 degree optics. You lose a bit of spread, but gain the ability to increase PAR to the sandbed. Its a nice addition to...
The Dim4 is analog? Nice.
Don't get the stunner. Get this and save some money if you want something easy without going the DIY route. Aquarium Reef LED Strip Violet Purple...
+1 This would be great. Any chances of an eventual update on these with a Typhon like board for auto dimming and built from the factory with PWM...
Very easy if they have the holders, no glue needed. Disassembling the unit is easy too.
Ramp it up about 5-10% a day and you shouldn't have a problem. Back off a bit if you start to see stress.
I basically had a Taotronics myself at first. You're right, they do look good, and will grow thriving coral. Eventually though, you'll end up...
Reefbreeders or any 55x3w chinese light with multiple color whites, royal blues, some reds, and some violets are all you need. Get 2 of them. Or you...
The lights on ebay are nothing more than chinese fixtures being resold for a higher price. I put a list of all the companies these come from in the...
Yeah, I can't wait to see the Supernova once its ready. It will easily best a Vega or Radion in output. I have my own proof that it will.
My DIY is actually very close to what your supernova will be outputting. I was surprised at how similar once you announced it. 180 watts....
