MetaTank Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I hate those. No. Haha...damn! Whats wrong with GU10's? Besides the crazy spotlight effect...? I found these yesterday, the standard E27 version, with 2 RB and 1 CW 1 watt Epistars...They're 5 dollars shipped, and screw into a regular US socket. Cheap eBay LED bulbs...E27 I have this bulb with 3 RB and no white, and I gotta say it's INTENSE...Besides the 30 degree optics, it's crazy powerful for my Picotopes, so much that I actually have it pointing up towards my T5 reflector, and just the reflection is bright!

iball1804 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 If my CADLights things falls through, I'll look at those. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Nothing major to report on. Tank is cycling(ed). I'm seriously considering the CADLights fixture. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Just get a used par38 or par30. Or just get an LED wholesalers par38. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 No, no and no. I know what I'm doing. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sorry but I've already gone through all my options. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Because it's relatively cheap, sleek, and should do the job. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 You should get some mangroves. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'll get there some day. I just need a light. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I need to order my ledtric. Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This tank would've been so cool drilled Oh well still looks like awesome sauce. GU10s are nice only with optics off. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah GU10's, although they work, just look lame to me. Link to comment
MetaTank Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Haha, seems like everyone wants to set your tank up for you!! I'm sure you'll find the best solution for you. I'm at the dentist right now waiting for the novacaine to take effect, partial crown today I think. Good luck with your light, almost April 1st!!! Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks bro. You've got to brush your teeth! Cavities = no, no! Link to comment
Psychosis Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah, Par38's are a pain in the ass any way. My mounting sollution is about as elegant as it gets, and it still looks...well, not great. With a 5" deep tank you could probably mount SPS under an old PC fixture, so it would be really tough to mess up the lighting. Lookin' good, bro. I won't say you've got my vote, but I will say I'm easily bribed. << Easily bribed. Link to comment

Psychosis Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 On the other hand, you could go T5. More par in more places, as they say. Fine, you don't think about votes. Just remember, Bush was elected twice. Dun dun duuuun. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 No, LED's this time. Would you please vote for me? Pweease? Link to comment
Psychosis Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 All right, just make sure it doesn't suck and you've got a deal. Ha. They all ways fall for Bush. Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Interesting build dude! Cant wait to see you stock this thing! I'll be following. Link to comment
