DaveFason Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I like keeping you guys in the loop of what is going on over here. I have been working my tail off to get new product, better LEDs and more improvements to help better NBR. HYBRID : I will have the pre-order up this weekend along with the first of the photos. Prices will range from $795-1250 depending on amount of arrays and and T5 bulb count. They look sexy and will be a hit among the nano world. The best part, everything will be 100% made and built in USA. WEBSITE : IT WILL FINALLY BE UP! I went back to the drawing board, picked up an incredible lens for product shoots. This will list out all upgrades, new photos and accurate info. Here are a few teasers.

He is now able to help boost my stock of heatsinks, caps and other small items that my local machinist had to juggle. Now this are MUCH more streamlined and will be a huge asset to NBR. As well I have hired a local kid that works for a SMD plant here in town. He will now be building my drivers, Storm cables, etc. This will help so much as these were things that killed me! WHOLESALE : Starting in March I will be cold calling local stores and some of the larger ones. This was something that has been in the works but I needed to finish crunching numbers. This is now a reality and I am SO excited. If you have a local store that you want me to call, shoot me a message. FACEBOOK & IG : With the help of Brad I am nearing 12K in followers in FB and reaching 500 on IG. If you are on either platform please follow and share. @NanoBoxReef SHOWS : I will be attending MACNA, Reefstock and one Reefapoloza. Stay tuned! As always thanks NR members. It all started here! -Dave Link to comment

You should have no problem with the wholesale market. Look forward to seeing your continuing and growing success. On a side note this weekend can't get here soon enough haha, John Link to comment

JavaJacketOC Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Have you considered a larger square shaped housing and array? I ask selfishly because I have a 18" cube with euro bracing and I've had a lot of difficulty finding lighting upgrade options that can be centered over the opening. If the fixture overhangs the euro bracing I'm sure there is significant loss of PAR when the light is forced through glass or acrylic. I'm currently using a MaxSpect Razor Nano, which I like, but other than a EcoTech Radions and Kessils I don't have a lot of direct upgrade (shape wise) options. For those that have a rimless tank my size and square, the suggestion would probably be a duo but personally I like the look for a square fixture over a square tank. Link to comment

I currently love the look of the units. As for the array, the size is very similar to the Ecotech/Kessil. They are just inside a different body. The Duo would work fine with your current tank. -Dave Link to comment
