Sk8n Reefer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Tanks looking great- really like the FTS's and that pic of the loan clown over the sps ? 1 Quote Link to comment
Newtybar Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 beautiful colors! that light is amazing. Also, did you put it next to the wall mounted air conditioner by design? 1 Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks. The tanks location wasn't by design. We are renting this house at the moment and just so happens the only logical place to place the tank is right under the ac unit. I'm not running the ac to reduce the temps, I have a chiller to do most of the work. It does cool down my light considerbally from 45c to 25c. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So you used two Lumina pucks and a few DIY pucks from 3ws? That's pretty awesome! Love the tank Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 That's correct. I cheaped out and upgraded my existing light instead of completely redoing it with lumia. I'm very happy with the lumia and might get a few more down the line....or try the nanobox array. Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 as long as it looks good and grows my SPS...im happy with whatever. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 as long as it looks good and grows my SPS...im happy with whatever. Someone told me that the V3 chips have half the power of the Lumina. Not sure, but factor that in (or look into it) if you are considering switching. Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thats correct, the nanobox array only have 13 LEDs on their array where as the Lumia has 25. I would need double the amount of the V3 vs the lumia if I ever decide to upgrade. The extra arrays might give me a better spread, 5 x Lumia vs 10 x V3 but the V3 would be more expensive. Anyways, right now Im happy with my light so far and it produces an very even spread at the moment so I probably wouldnt be upgrading anytime soon. Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Lol does Maxspect even make anything besides the Gyre?Is that a trick question? Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Is that a trick question? Dunno. Razor and Gyre? Quote Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Turns out they make other LEDs other than the Razor http://www.maxspectusa.com/ Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I guess this was a no brainer, I just finished my light not too long ago. I wouldnt be getting a new light 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Pair of 130 or 150? Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 pair of 150s. The only reason I wanted new pumps was because my Jebao WP40 died after a 2 months. I thought about buying the Tunze, but been reading up on the Gyre an thought they would suit my tank better. Need to find time to install the pumps tho. Im not looking forward to digging up old wires from my cable management trays and making everything neat again. Stay tuned for a review. Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Installed 1 on my tank. Excuse the unsightly brown algae in my tank, but it helps to show the flow of the Gyre. One 150 Gyre was enough to stir up any debris my 4 pumps couldnt. 3 Quote Link to comment

What is that gigantic coral on the left? Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thats a frogspawn coral I had for a long time. Its not quite how it used to be but I hope it would recover. the polyp SHOULD extend even more than that. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The Gyre is pretty incredible. Keep us updated on how you like it Quote Link to comment
