Requality Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If it was hung only about 6 inches above the surface and dimmed to a very low setting, would this be a viable option? Link to comment
Hexadron Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well hey why not, it's ridiculously overkill though. As long as it's not melting your corals.. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I have the 350n on a 5g cube. I can turn it up about half way without killing everything. I'm working on getting it powered all the way up. It's about 8 inches off the water. My corals are doing aight Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This is gotta see. Is this something you're going to buy or already have ? Link to comment
Requality Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 This is gotta see. Is this something you're going to buy or already have ? Planning to buy one very soon! My journal can be found here http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/347422-requalitys-ada-75g-cube/ Link to comment
MikeTR Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm still lookin for a good light for mine. I don't want rainbows. https://www.flickr.com/photos/109332561@N02/14416599535/'> Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Have you thought about the new Maxspect light ? Looks to be pretty good for softies and lps and has 4 channels which are adjustable. Also a lot cheaper than the Kessil. http://www.marinedepot.com/Maxspect_Celestial_LED_Spotlight_Flexible_Mount_LED_Light_Fixtures_for_Aquariums-Maxspect-0M30033-FILTFILDFX-vi.html Link to comment
Reefwiser Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 A 150 would work well. half the price. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm rather fond of the 150 as well. its nowhere as flexible but way cuter Link to comment
fishnlou Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Have you looked into a nano box? Those lights look really nice. Link to comment
4x5 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It would work yes, but it's serious overkill. Link to comment
Requality Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Alright so I just did the math and in order to keep the light spread only within my tank and not outside of it, It would have to be hung 2.18 inches above the tank line. Guess I'ma just bite the bullet and go for it. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Either way,light is going to spill out of the tank and light up the room,walls,ceiling,floors all that. Link to comment
Requality Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Either way,light is going to spill out of the tank and light up the room,walls,ceiling,floors all that. Its perfect. No spillage whatsoever. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 you're going to burn everything! Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 technically he has nothing to burn yet... Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That's just ridiculous !! Should have just spent half of that and got a NB light man !! Hopefully you don't turn everything to skeleton once you get stuff in there. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 why do you think nano box is half the price? or wouldn't be overpowered as well? Link to comment
4x5 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You can turn the Kessil down - nothing is going to burn if it's at the correct power. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 seeing as how I have the 350n over a 5g, I probably know better than you on this. or in general, that's likely Link to comment
MikeTR Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 nano box cost me $315 shipped w/controller to dim. Is it overkill.. I think not for what it does. It's sleek looking and the color is awesome. Who runs leds at 100% on a tank anyways.. unless they just suck. Link to comment
4x5 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 seeing as how I have the 350n over a 5g, I probably know better than you on this. or in general, that's likely Seeing as though he owns the 350w which I also own and have it over a 12" deep tank (the same depth as his tank), I probably know a little bit about it's power. But you're right, you own a different light and know more. Link to comment
