flobees Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi, I am doing some research for new lights. I came across Build MY Led and was wondering what people think about the lights for those who use them. I will be setting up a seahorse tank and the tank is 24 x 12 x 24. So it's a deep tank gonna have lots of Macro algae and gorganias and a few zoes I think. Any suggestion will be grateful. thanks Link to comment
zooman72 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Nice lights, although a bit pricey, with a very narrow form factor (look nice when hung), and are powerful enough that one might do it for you in the tank you propose. My personal "reef" favorite is the 20K. Link to comment
flobees Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 thank you for you reply. I was looking at other lights and they all seem expensive. I was comparing to Kessil 360we at 400 and Nanobox Duo for 450 so at around 260 for the BML is reasonable to me anyway. Thanks again if anyone have any other options I can go with it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment
zooman72 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The price for the BML strip does not include any control - just on or off, and there is no ability to "tweak"/ adjust the color either. You don't really need any of that honestly, but those other fixtures do allow for it, hence the added cost... Link to comment
markalot Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The new 20k multi channel is out and i love it. With a controller anbd dimming cables you can completely control all 3 channels now. I have a 72 inch 20k mc on the front of my 150 gallon. I own 5 bml fixtures, all great quality. Link to comment
flobees Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 do you know anything about the controller? I am not using an Apex and hence need a controller . I was wondering it it will work with a Bluefish as i like the wifi ability of the bluefish. From what i could see with the controller offered on the BML site it doesn't allow a non wired controls. Thanks for your input Link to comment
