eodmike Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hey Dave, Just wondering when you think the next batch is going out? Super excited! Can't wait. I'm going top notch on all the equipment on this build. Hopefully I can make something 1/2 as polished looking in my tank as you have done with your lights. Quote Link to comment
makokak Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Unfortunely I moved and this tank came down. But just started a new tank and using the same nanobox Is this DUO on a 24" frame? If it is , i would like to know more about this light for my CAD34g. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Is this DUO on a 24" frame? If it is , i would like to know more about this light for my CAD34g. It's a super old school Quad. Quote Link to comment
makokak Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's a super old school Quad. Ah ok. Can i get a suggestion from you? for my CAD34g, what nanobox should i get? Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ah ok. Can i get a suggestion from you? for my CAD34g, what nanobox should i get? Hmm. The tank is 30x16x16, a bit long for the Duo, so you'd probably want the quad. Quote Link to comment
makokak Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hmm. The tank is 30x16x16, a bit long for the Duo, so you'd probably want the quad. do you by any chance if dave accepted order for a duo in 24" in the past? Quote Link to comment
Muraki Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 do you by any chance if dave accepted order for a duo in 24" in the past? You won't be disappointing if you went with the Quad. Figure I would post this here. Will update once I have the conduit painted. Custom 36" Nanobox over a 36" tank. 6 Quote Link to comment
Mirya Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ah so that is where the 36" ended up! Looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment

Custom 36" Nanobox over a 36" tank. Woah... Thats awesome!!! Does the fixture heat up at your maximum intensity? Or do the heatsink/fans keep it cool? 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 do you by any chance if dave accepted order for a duo in 24" in the past? That was the most confusing product name Dave's ever had It was called the 'Duo 24' or '24" Duo' but it had four arrays in a 24" housing. This is why I kept pushing him to call it a Quad Woah... Thats awesome!!! Does the fixture heat up at your maximum intensity? Or do the heatsink/fans keep it cool? He's not the only one to have a 36" enclosure... But mine was a little bit custom Had roughly 275w of LEDs in it, and the housing was very warm to the touch. Dave limits his arrays to ~26w each, so six of them is right around 150-160w total at full tilt, so it will get warm to the touch, but this is the design (the enclosure is aluminum and acts as a part of the heatsink), 1 Quote Link to comment
Muraki Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Woah... Thats awesome!!! Does the fixture heat up at your maximum intensity? Or do the heatsink/fans keep it cool? As Jedi said, if I have everything at 100% it does get warm to the touch, but at the current max/midday settings for the tank, it stays cold to the touch. I absolutely love the light though. Fits the tank perfectly. I need to get an updated picture, waiting on a part before I take the pipe down to paint them, along with the wait for the diatom bloom to settle down. Quote Link to comment
makokak Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 i just checked the quad ive noticed that its only available in 2 channel and the duo is available in 2 and 4 channel. or you have to ask dave for 4 channel on quad? Quote Link to comment

I remember seeing the picture of the 36" enclosure of your thread, but never got to the point of the actual build process for it. I need to go search for it again. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just shoot Dave a PM, you can get anything extra that you want just about. Just costs a little more. He is great to work with! Quote Link to comment

All of the Nanobox fixtures are available in 2, 4, or 5 channel (the fifth being a dedicated moonlight). That LED layout looks like artwork. I remember seeing the picture of the 36" enclosure of your thread, but never got to the point of the actual build process for it. I need to go search for it again. It was super sexy, and while I love my Nanobox arrays, there was just a little something extra I got from that setup, so I'm going back to something similar. Here is a gif of how that array turned out 2 Quote Link to comment
