I just started a pico and running a AquaClear 50 on the back glass, can you suggest a solid stand or something I can use the gooseneck clamp on? Quote Link to comment
coral reefer tx Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dave, I’m trying to estimate rough Par figures of the Mini Tide in my IM 10 gallon cube. Your website shows Par estimates ... http://nanoboxreef.com/mini.html But are those Par readings taken with all channels at 100%? Any chance you have a rough estimate of what your LPS preset PAR would be compared to the website PAR readings? (Since the mid-day portion of the Pre-set has most channels at about 70% would Par readings be about 70% of what’s posted on your website?). Final question, I’ve got the light about as close to the water as I can with the 9 inch gooseneck — 5 inches over the water maybe. To replicate those par readings at say 12 inches - I should be measuring from the light, and not water depth, right? Difference between your 12 inch Par reading and 18 inch par reading at the center is double, so want to make sure I’m measuring right. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

I will take a quick PAR reading for the 70% for you if you like. With the tank that small I would not get to wrapped up in PAR unless you are running 100% SPS. 1 Quote Link to comment
coral reefer tx Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks Dave. I’m actually trying to get by with as minimal of light as possible (for algae control) but run enough for various softies and leathers. Just now adding a couple LPS micromussa just off center of the light. Didn’t want to complicate the post above, but since I’ve been trying to not run more light than my softies actually need, I basically used your LPS presets and backed off each channel by 1/4 or so and shortened the total duration by an hour. I was just wanting to make sure I’m not cutting back too much and being below 50 par or so during midday period on the sand bed. Just let me know if I’m not on the right track. Quote Link to comment

The %'s will be fine but keep the overall light schedule. You will be just fine. Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I am considering ordering one of these again, this time for mums tank. (or take the new one myself and give her my old one - either or. Any chance I could do the payment thing (2 - 3 parts) again if I do? 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, does the gooseneck come with any equipment for mounting to a wall or stand rather than on the tank? I'm going to be using it on the AquaMaxx 9.1 Gallon(23.7" x 9.5" x 9.5"), not sure what size gooseneck I should be shooting for but I would imagine the 15" being too tall for my tank if mounted on the glass. What would you recommend? Sorry for the delay... Edit: woops didn’t see the date 1 1 Quote Link to comment
