digitalfreq Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 On a Saturday night after a few whiskys I felt the urge to buy something. So a few days later this is the result. What do you think? : ) Link to comment

digitalfreq Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Nice! Looks like yours faired better than mine with Fedex! I live less than 30 miles from them so thats probably why.. Link to comment

FlCandy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I love to drink.. Anything except Tequila.... Same here! I like that tank! So what are you plans and hopes for this baby! Link to comment
digitalfreq Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Same here! I like that tank! So what are you plans and hopes for this baby! I have an VidaRock Bonsai on order. I plan to put only cherry nano corals in this tank and let it grow out. I have a 125G reef tank and it constantly looks like just a collection of corals albeit nice corals and not a true reef tank. I'm hoping this pico will mature and look filled in like that Picotope on this site. I forget his name, but he has a bad ass picotope.. That tank is what got me back into reefing after 20 years.

Jai1985 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I like tequila :-) but I usually end up naked by the end of the night lol Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Have you tested the PAR from those lights? Idk if CAD stepped up their game, but the last time I saw a tank with original CAD lighting, it couldn't even grow softies. Link to comment

Idk if CAD stepped up their game, but the last time I saw a tank with original CAD lighting, it couldn't even grow softies. I bought this tank thinking the light was good enough and that I wouldn't needt to buy a Par38. But now I regret it. It looks nice but you're right, i dont think it's going to cut it. Anyone want to buy this fixture?? $50! haha but honestly it's a good light for a small fish only or invert tank. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Could just add some stunner strips to it .... That would add more Spectrum and Par. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Could just add some stunner strips to it .... That would add more Spectrum and Par. Stunner strips are just for color. IIRC they don't produce any par, and if they do, it's insignificant. Link to comment

Galaxea being the most needy. I only recently upgraded due to my dislike of the colors. Link to comment
digitalfreq Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just placed an order for the LEDtric Full Spectrum. Does anybody else have this bulb? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Naw, but I'm going to have a your fixture! Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The par readings on the original Cadlights light are actually pretty good. They are 50 PAR at the bottom of the tank. That is 4inches above the water. That is a pretty high level for a 9watt light. You should be able to grow most anything but SPS. Link to comment
mblackburn Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 looking at getting a cadlight myself. Link to comment
