nanoreef-R Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I own the fixture. Not half bad. I'm going to change the reflectors.
chucktdbm321 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 yea i see that i was not paying attention to what forum i put it in thanks for the correction... nanoreef-r it seems like a great fixture for the price and how are the bulbs
Marine1 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I just upgraded from my stock pc's in my BC29 to The 24" Wavepoint and I am very pleased with the performance. My wife loves the fact there are is no more noise from the fans. I paid $170 shipped, so that's a pretty good price. I also rigged two exocotic LED strips (actinic) on the sides for dusk/dawn lighting. That was the only downfall to this fixture all the colored bulbs come on at once. I say go for it they're no where near as hot as MH or enclosed PC's. Also, the color choices in bulbs are great: http://www.aquariumpart.com/WavePoint_Repl...HO_T5_s/115.htm
nanoreef-R Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Bulbs are pretty cool. Have a bit too much purple. But good PAR and great growth, especially on Zoas!
matt frizz Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Can you just hang the kit as is over a tank? I've been looking into some cheap lighting solutions for my 55 Breeder and this would be perfect.
Marine1 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 It doesn't come with a hanging kit or do I see anywhere for the screw/eyes to go in to hang it. That being said, there is always a way.
chucktdbm321 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 I see, so marine1 there is only one powerswitch im guessing then?
Marine1 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 I see, so marine1 there is only one powerswitch im guessing then? Unfortunately, yes. It doesn't bother me though. With the LED's I solved that problem. Plus I get an almost MH shimmer from them.
