Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 which of these should I get for a 20 high? Hey Man, what kind of seeds are those in the 1st pic??!! lol. Nevermind, I can imagine!! Sweet setup! It's actually substrate. Link to comment
Luffy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/336782-nano-box-mini-series/ I was kinda looking forward to a long/slim model just like this beam for peninsula type reef tanks. Link to comment
Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was kinda looking forward to a long/slim model just like this beam for peninsula type reef tanks. That sounds like the quad. Link to comment
Luffy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 That sounds like the quad. Yeah not really looking to spend $700 for a quad just to use on a Mr. Aqua 6 gallon long. Link to comment
Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah not really looking to spend $700 for a quad just to use on a Mr. Aqua 6 gallon long. Ah thought you meant a larger tank Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah not really looking to spend $700 for a quad just to use on a Mr. Aqua 6 gallon long. I gotcha now. There isn't really much way to do it with the amount of colors needed for a reef, any spacing between the diodes will give color banding, even with a diffuser on the splash shield. On the current models, the diodes are similar enough for that not to matter. Link to comment
Mirya Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Any possibility of a 18" model? This would be for a 20x20x20 (not square though, bullet shaped) vivarium. Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 would the 12" be enough for a display macro refugium that measeures 18L x 14W x 12H? Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/336782-nano-box-mini-series/ That's a totally different light. Pretty sure he's talking about this light, the beam. Link to comment
Marc.The.Shark Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 It's actually substrate. LOL, can tell I'm not a planted tank guy! Link to comment
Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 LOL, can tell I'm not a planted tank guy! The first time I ever saw it I thought what the h*ll is that! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 For now, no. I have had a few requests but the design is hard to create a nice color that I would be ok with selling. None for reef tanks? Yes. Plenty. would the 12" be enough for a display macro refugium that measeures 18L x 14W x 12H? Honestly no. 18" has never been a size that has been request.

Honestly, there are a lot of people who use 18" ExoTerras for vivariums. Obviously this light doesn't have UVB for people keeping lizards, but for people doing a planted viv or dart frogs, there is a whole new market for you! Link to comment
pgrVII Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dave will these support regular potted plants? Might be a good alternative to another tube fixture in my chameleon cage. Link to comment

A 12" fixture should be able to cover an 18" tank without much difficulty, and multiples will surely do it. Dave will these support regular potted plants? Might be a good alternative to another tube fixture in my chameleon cage. I don't see why not. There are very few differences in the light requirements between terrestrial and aquatic plants.

Mirya Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dave will these support regular potted plants? Might be a good alternative to another tube fixture in my chameleon cage. I know a lot of people use 6500Kish lights for plant growth in terrariums. The Jungle Dawn is pretty popular which is a mix of 80% 6500K (cool white) and 20% 4500K (neutral white). But then, I hear people complain the 6500K lights do give a cool blue effect. Dave's planted beam uses neutral white and warm white. That will take the blue cast out of the light and provide some red wavelengths that peak some chlorophylls without having to add supplemental red lights. At least, I think so.

There are very few differences in the light requirements between terrestrial and aquatic plants. Shhhhhhh, I need the 12" for my 20" tank. Link to comment
