Resurrection!

Cool light choice, I've been reading on those pendants for a bigger project I'm working on. They look nice!

Thanks so much for updating! The new lights are massive!

2000 gallons isn't even fathomable in a home to me, love the rockwork!

I think there's more reefers than me who would love to see some new pictures

Here are some new pictures. I recently did a big cleanup and broke down some large corals that had grown up to the surface and were casting shadows so some have been reset.

I took these to see the 'before' pictures when I finish installing the new LED's. I will do closeups soon after

Very nice. The clean up looks great.

I cant wait to see those lights and compare before and after, too. Major power difference should help out quite a bit.

Arnar · 11/30/2016, 03:23 PM

Here are a few more from today. I took out two MH's, 6 T5's and attached the new lights to the aluminum frame that was used for the old lights.

They are looking good already.

iced98lx · 11/30/2016, 05:09 PM

Looking forward to your impressions of any shadowing etc you see for sure. What a big change in the power bill!

Finished installing the last two LED lamps today and I took some pictures.

I really like how strong the actinic light is and everything pops much more than ever with the T5's.

worm5406 · 12/07/2016, 01:07 PM

I really like the coloring.

SO... What mode is that on? As in what lights were on? It seems a bit blue for the view. Granted that might be the mode when you get home.

I ended up changing my mode to NOT match the local time light cycle. Since I have 100% light control I set it up for twilight/dawn at 1p and final lights off at 11p. I am home during the best viewing times of full sun to dusk to lights off. Best change I did for light timing.
