DSUNY 36" full spectrum or white blue

[justyjust]

I brought myself a dsuny 36" led lighting unit for my innovative Marine nuvo 24, at the time I didn't realise there was two options. After realising I'm wondering you thoughts if to change it of to a full spectrum, I can easily change them as I have ordered the correct LED's but I'm in two minds whether to or not. I'm looking to keep mainly sps and lps, what do you think i have a couple of pictures of the layout and which ones I have to change. Thanks justin

What happened to them how long did they last?

they were good for about 4 months. then the first lost a channel. then it lost the other 3.

30 days later another burned out.
30-60 days later another.

the first one i replaced by talking to cindy and oliver and paying 110 to get the new unit in.

you also get the awesome 100% all channels randomly on with your purchase too.

Thanks for the offer, I live in the uk. Hopefully the lights will last but I have my doubts.. Have you got any pictures of your tank?

 

[Russ265]

havent cleaned it in a while but w/e. all corals grown from 1' frags so they still gotta grow in. ;)

good thing about a bigger tank is you dont run out of room in 3 months (unless you buy colonies)

What do you think about greens and reds leds, am I just wasting my time?

all about blues and whites. maybe violet at night

white is just all colors

I got the dsuny LEDs, I got them from the uk distributer as he will repair or replace all the components under warranty.

I'm just not sure what I should set the channels to and how powerful? I do like blue looking tanks. I don't have full spectrum

I've programmed mine now as the lunar was too bright and I've let the tank sleep, if you look in the manual there is a chart with the details of the percentage and time. I followed that and tanks seems OK, starts up like sunrise and ends in the evening dimming down to moon light off at nine. The chart was for the vivid setting but the percentages were about right when I entered the option apart from off time which I extended.
