Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
they are using 1W cree bulbs - but I made request to make some changes - for example I wanted Philips UVA to be added with blue/green - yes, I will lose on PAR but I want the pop of my corals.
Also debating if I should change atinic led bulbs from cree to Epistar since I like the blue color...
I live in Clifton NJ 07013 - the leds will come around Nov 15th.
After finishing the upgrade I was left with lighting problem for 210g tank. so I wanted something that would not break the bank and work in reality.
I have based my decision about LEDs on following criterias:
a) price - I got...
so why not just DIY your own with 5 Philips LED with 80 focus lenses? than you can pick your own LED bulbs and focus lenses and pick what you want. Profilux has LEDS simulating sunrise and sunset and thunderstorms etc - not sure how strong they are but worth taking look at them.
in 2-3 weeks my...
Absolutely Fish - fish store up north - Clifton NJ 07013 - on one their tanks they have solaris LED plus some additional LED for shimmer effect. i bet you can get the name of the product and find it for much less on the internet.
ok, here is the dilema I have by looking at your question - if...
a few things: stop by Absolutely Fish and ask for their new moonlights - not telling you to buy them, but see them in action and find cheaper on the net.
second - what do you mean by reaching the depth? PAR? light? visual effect? I mean what LED will overpower T5s? I mean you put any LED next...

ohhh.... so evoIX tough luck - mistake ;D ;D ;D next time double check PM, internet advertising etc for mistakes before you go to a vendor and drive for 1hr on prkwy.
I dont spend big money and I dont get the feeling that I am unnoticed even though I am a short ;D
There are a lot of stores you can visit, vendors from NJ Reefs and if you feel like you get better deal somewhere else - what can i say? it is free country and you can spend your money anywhere...
lights are coming around Nov 15th. One of the cool features they added in the new software that you can simulate sun/moon movment from right to left if you have two modules. I cant wait to see that. I ordered 2 120w for the display tank, but I may get one more.
[edited] Stop by when you will be visiting Absolutely Fish on the weekend. I dont have any frags at the present time, trying to set up the display tank first. I am closing on my first zeo rock exchange and once I get closer to second plus the new lights. edited[i] :-)
