Does anyone have experience with the Kaspian pendant LED by Orphek? I absolutely love the look of this light and at 120Watt it may be able to over across 30-36 inch width SPS tanks whereas I see most people doubling up either radions, kessils or supplementing with T5s. Problem is, aside from a...

Greetings, I am building a reef tank after being out of the hobby for several years. I had a 75 gallon reef tank with 432 watts of T5 several years ago. I decided to use LEDs on my new tank . I have purchased 3x 48 inch Current Marine Pros for a 48x24x24 inch tank. I tried them tonight and they...

As I am planning the equipment for the new 120gal build, I thought I had my lighting solution all figured out. Two (2) Ecotech Marine Radion XR30W G4 PRO light fixtures. Supplemented with the two (2) ATI Blue+ T5 bulbs from the previous build. But as I started thinking about it (and adding up...

Hello friends and fellow reefers! We are very excited to announce the grand opening of Fiji Cube. We are a group of saltwater hobbyists just like you and prior to starting Fiji Cube, we were designing and making our own custom aquariums and sumps. We have been in this hobby for years and we...

I recently got a used RSM 130, the skimmer can skim (if water level is perfect) alright but is quite noisey. Many people have done the Tunze 9002 in the back with a media rack. The 9002 is discontinued and they now have the 9001 but i havent been able to find anyone who has it or if it fits...

Hello, I just switched from a 4 light twist CFL with clip reflectors (2 on each side, on 18 hours a day) on my ATS to 2x13 LED (1 heat sink on each side 12 deep red and 1 royal blue). They are a few inches (3-4) from the screen. I'm wondering what is the best way to make the transition...

So I have been considering this for a while and now that I am almost to the point of getting another light fixture I wanted to run something by you guys first. I have noticed that my coral, mainly my SPS, have some parts where the polyps are out and the coloration is just awesome, where other...

Hey, So I just ordered my first controller for my aquarium and am super excited to take my tank to this automated level. I bought a Digital Aquatics RKE Titanium edition, ALC Module (advanced light controller), 2 blue LED moonlight pods, and 2 float switches. Any input on making it easier to...

I picked up this 14g biocube ready to go from Jager, the price was great, but the included lighting needed some improvement. It had been retrofitted in the past with leds, but the previous owner decided to keep the leds, so it was re-retrofitted with 2 28w pc actinic bulbs. The actinics worked...

So I don't even have the tank setup yet, but I think I might replace my 28g nanocube's hqi hood for the pro led model(89w version, not the 27w basic). My main reasoning is that the 150$ spent on the led hood will prevent the need for a 300-400$ chiller down the road (yes, I'm a cheap bastard)...

I'm looking at upgrading my lighting on my 70 gal tall. Currently have 6x bulb TEK T5. I'm looking at a mixed reef: Softies, LPS, SPS, a couple clams (I've been ogling a maxima for a while) Any likes/dislikes on the Maxspect? It seems like a really reasonably priced LED, which undoubtedly...

Hey can anyone refer me to a suitable LED light for my 92g corner? My MH is a major energy sucker and my parents are a bit sick of it... Thanks! Also I'd probably be interested in selling my MH in a while too if anyone's interested maybe in a couple months or so.

Hey everyone, I'm still pretty new to the hobby (75 gal set up since 9-4-11), so I have been learning as I go for a while. Thank god for these forums, they have helped me a lot. I've also been upgrading quite a bit, but I haven't been getting as many hours, so money is tight. Recently I bought a...

Here is a brief review of the Orphek DIF-100, DIF-30 pendants and T8 bulb. I ran a single DIF-100 18k and a single DIF-30 Blue side by side with my Maxspect g2 160 for nearly 3 months. 2 weeks ago I hung the additional DIF-100 and DIF-30 plus added a 60" Orphek T8 UV\Blue for additional...

So after saying that I'm going to install LED lights on my Red Sea Max 34 for almost as long as I've had the tank, I finally have LEDs running on it. This is just version 1 - I'm going to be swapping out the royal blue leds for blues and the cool whites for warm whites. I also have to fix...

So I looked at my fixture and I had a bulb burnt out!! I took the fixture down and looked at it. It turns out I did solder the wire to the solder on the starboard BUT I guess I did not keep the solder on the starboard so the wire wiggles on and off of the starboard (it still touches but does not...

I finished my DIY for LED's and figured I'd post it here. http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f76/jerads-diy-led-build-170838.html

Well I built another pico. This time it is 5 gallons and it is triangle shaped so that it will sit on my desk at work. Special thanks to Flounder for helping me cut acrylic! The lighting is made from 3 Watt LEDs from Jimmy. I programmed them to simulate sun rise/set, and moon...

I got a 4 bulb HO T5 light for my 46 bow front for christmas. I have just acclimated the corals to the new lights and was trying out the bluemoon lights and it seems pretty bright in the tank at night. There are a total of 8 led's in 4 clusters of two each. The led's are positioned with 2...
