Thank you! They are Xen-lux 50w LED grow panels that I got off eBay. They use BridgeLux LED's. I bought all three panels for $270! Here's a link-

Nice find. Awesome, thank you. I'd be real curious to see some PAR numbers on these things...
Oceanus
Jun 2 2010, 12:53 PM
I am too, so far my maxima clam is really happy, and he's 16 inches away from the lights. Unfortunately, I don't have a lux meter or a PAR meter.

3 for 270? So those are $90 LED fixtures. How's that for competitive pricing?

She has been known to sneak up on you in the middle of the night. The rg is the BSB. (Brine Shrimp Burglar).

Nice, love Rhodactis.
Also grats on the MJ1200.
Oceanus
Jun 4 2010, 10:36 PM
I love those rhodactis. I love the mj. I have a nice shimmer effect from the LED's now.

Got four fuzzy green rhodactis on a 1/2 lb chunk o lr for $10. Can't beat that. Got to get a second mj 1200. I will wind up with 2 mj 1200's, and a couple of assorted koralia's.

Totally selling the product I bought here, but look at a Tunze DOC skimmer if you're still looking for a new one (and if you were the guy needing one). You can find a used one at a great price and they really pull tons of crap out of the water. The first day I had my tank set back up, the skimmer pulled probably 3 cups of junk out of the water (I soft-cycle).
Oceanus
Jun 7 2010, 09:11 PM
I would love a Tunze, but I'm afraid I can't spare the cash for something in the $300+ range. On a side note, I might a a SPS frag or to to observe growth, I hope that they'd like the LEDs, but after all, these are really low powered ones.

Mine too.

I went to the museum today, and they had two 75g aquariums, each with a cbb. I'm hooked. P.S. I had them put a mandarin on hold for me.

Jun 11 2010, 03:14 PM
A little late coming to this but if you're patient and do want a Tunze, they'll show up in the $150 to $250 range. Good luck with the CBB. Mine did not end well (nasty infection) but it was an awesome fish until that point and I'm tempted to try again.
Oceanus
Jun 11 2010, 09:11 PM
Thanks! I think that I may be patient, but BM NAC-7's for $170, well.
The cbb is happy and eating well. He seems to be a healthy fish.

Very nice. Like I said, awesome fish if they do well. You have me thinking of picking up a navarchus and ditching my trimac idea. How is your nav doing?
