Horerczy Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 For some reason Christmas lights made me imagine Ben lighting his tank with The Star of Bethlehem. Link to comment
fredfish01 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Anyone have any guesses what's above the tank right now? Shop light. You've finally come to your senses and ditched all this new fangled LED stuff. Link to comment

HM3105 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Looks like its a single source pendant of some sort. I'm guessing 200w CFL? Link to comment

A single 200w CFL wouldn't do this, though, without a massive reflector like a metal halide would have. And it would be nearly a foot long lol Link to comment
Horerczy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Some sort of hybrid lighting solution. Link to comment

gus6464 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Cuz Mars Aqua is sexy when you gut it and take out half the LEDs. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 If you have a good supplier for the replacements. I do want to do that to my evergrow eventually. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Cuz Mars Aqua is sexy when you gut it and take out half the LEDs. I took out four of them If you have a good supplier for the replacements. I do want to do that to my evergrow eventually. Reefbreeders has them and they will at least guarantee you're getting what you ordered. Link to comment
HM3105 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Details? I have 2 of those Mars Aqua type LED rigs and I don't love the color. and I was joking about the CFL Ben, jeesh! Link to comment
Horerczy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Reefbreeders has them and they will at least guarantee you're getting what you ordered. Yeah but they don't have any cyans. Though I did find what may be a reliable source once. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Details? I have 2 of those Mars Aqua type LED rigs and I don't love the color. and I was joking about the CFL Ben, jeesh! I know you were, it gave me a laugh to think about how massive one would need to be to get that wattage lol. Would be a like a duck penis at that point! The fixture is mostly stock. I just swapped out the green and red LEDs for violets from Reefbreeders, and attached a Bluefish to the dimming controls, they use 0-10v analog. I have some quieter fans for it, but I haven't had the chance yet to connect them up. I also put some of the peel n stick 'sand' diffuser on the splash shield. It doesn't help a whole lot, but it takes the sting out when you look at it, which is what I need with a munchkin around now, don't want to blind her Yeah but they don't have any cyans. Though I did find what may be a reliable source once. LEDgroupbuy still has a thousand or so cyan. http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/turquoise-495nm/ Link to comment
gus6464 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Benny you still need some ballasts? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 That would be FANTASTIC! I got another 'ICN-2S39' in yesterday. It was supposed to be new. It was a well-used ICN-2S54. Grrrr. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Benny you still need some ballasts? that's a lot of ballasts. O.O What size lamps do those run? LEDgroupbuy still has a thousand or so cyan. http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/turquoise-495nm/ The last time I tried one of theirs I snapped the shell off and left the thermal slug stuck to the star.
