Bye Bye Powermodule,Hello LED's

[luke33]

There s lots of those fixture's out there, all 1w's i've seen. They are all made in china, some at good manu's, some not so good. Some of them use USA led's in them. Some don't. But if they keep your corals growing well and last a long time why argue!

Truth!

I'll tell you what though... this reef box poops all over the reef brites I'm using... However, given the design and what not.. The reef brite is more like a T5 as far as spread and intensity.. as opposed to this reef box emulating concentrated MH lighting. LEDs got me by the ^(%$ right now. :D

 

[TopNotchCorals]

Awesome, the only reason I haven't made the switch is money. LOL

Awesome lights bro

I got very lucky and found somebody who trusted to pay for my T5 fixture up front (NaClCrocodile)knowing he wouldnt get it for a few weeks.$700 for the Powermodule compared to $370 for the LED fixture I would consider much more affordable:wink:

I really like this fixture and having the whole MH look back without the cons that come with running MH's heat,cost,topoff,etcetc....:D

No stress, I got skimmates every where I go... sometimes they get brave and make mistakes.

Interesting. I'm doing the complete opposite, running the two outer panels from noon to 11pm and the middle panel from 1-7pm.

hmmmmm interesting.......I am gonna throw a 24" reef brite on it soon to do the whole dusk/dawn thing anyways:tongue:My question to you is should I do a all blue or 50/50??

All blue like a depressed cartoon hound dog.

 

[thewackyreefer]

Well, I noticed Neptune has the Powerbrites in addition to the PAR38 I'm gonna use in the sump. I'm going to go with the 30" all blue over mine.
