saltwatercoral Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 WOW! How many bulbs is that 50? How much did you your lighting sys cost you and does it have a dimmer and is it programable? Link to comment
Monsieur Kam Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 WOW! How many bulbs is that 50? How much did you your lighting sys cost you and does it have a dimmer and is it programable? I believe they are the GU10 LED lights. Thread all about them here Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I believe they are the GU10 LED lights.Thread all about them here Just seeamed like 2 Sol Blues from AI would have been a better choice for a few $ more... Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just seeamed like 2 Sol Blues from AI would have been a better choice for a few $ more... Why would that have been a better choice? GU10s are not expensive AT ALL. 2 Sol blues and controller would have been around $900. #### that if you can get it done for less cost, go for it. Link to comment

You can get a used set to save more money. Im only saying that because I have the SOL Blues on my tank now and have them on 9 different light programs and can simulate thunder(lightning) storms. The GU10's are still good choice but I have personly never used them... Link to comment
Boggers Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 there are 60 GU10, and entire build cost $320. I have 5 rows and can turn off each row independatly via timer or mannually, but they do not have a dimmer/controler. I am not one to use a lot of "effects" with my lights. for the most part I just want to be able to turn on/off to get a good light for corals. Link to comment

urbaneks Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Great build thus far. Your plumbing job is top notch. You do have some serious LEDs on this tank, no one can say you don't have enough light. Good luck as your tank progresses. Link to comment
Boggers Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks urbaneks, it was my first attempt at plumping and I also knew it was better to get more lights than not enough. I can always pull out an LED if it is too much for the coral I get. Link to comment

Boggers Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Got a few snails working on the alge. Also got this guy to give my tank some color and let the filters build up more. Forgive the lighting as all my lights weren't on yet. Link to comment
