Amazing PAR numbers from such a low wattage light. Great for adding extra power!

 

6" - $100

12" - $150

24" - $225

Mounts : You can also DIY mounts using the 10-24 taped holes on the side caps.

Gooseneck - $24.95 - Great for fresh water set ups, FUGE, etc

Acrylic Legs - 24.95 - Great for fresh water set ups, FUGE, Actinic add ons ( Pictures coming this week )

Hanging Kit - 19.95 - Great for fresh water set ups, FUGE, Actinic add ons ( Pictures coming this week )

The 6" model will work great on small fresh water aquariums ( 12" -14" Length ) using the gooseneck or acrylic legs.

P.S. Those PAR values are HUGE.

None for reef tanks?

If only there was a reef one for your new Fluval Spec 3!

Nice!

Hey Man, what kind of seeds are those in the 1st pic??!! lol. Nevermind, I can imagine!! Sweet setup!

[Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

which of these should I get for a 20 high?

It's actually substrate.

I was kinda looking forward to a long/slim model just like this beam for peninsula type reef tanks.

That sounds like the quad.

[Luffy]

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.

[Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Ah thought you meant a larger tank

[jedimasterben]

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.

Any possibility of a 18" model? This would be for a 20x20x20 (not square though, bullet shaped) vivarium.

[bdevillier19]

would the 12" be enough for a display macro refugium that measeures 18L x 14W x 12H?

That's a totally different light. Pretty sure he's talking about this light, the beam.

LOL, can tell I'm not a planted tank guy!

[Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The first time I ever saw it I thought what the h*ll is that!

[DaveFason]

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.

LOL Do it Dave!

 

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!

[pgrVII]

Dave will these support regular potted plants? Might be a good alternative to another tube fixture in my chameleon cage.

A 12" fixture should be able to cover an 18" tank without much difficulty, and multiples will surely do it.

I don't see why not. There are very few differences in the light requirements between terrestrial and aquatic plants.

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.

Shhhhhhh, I need the 12" for my 20" tank.
