Man that's a pretty short photoperiod.. makes me want to drop mine down a bit after seeing the color in your SPS!

It's pretty insane how bright it is when all the lights are on! The XHO's add the perfect amount of blue and a tiny bit of shimmer.

I recently modded my Aquactinics Constellation (T5 - 7 Bulbs) light fixture with two 48" ReefBrite XHO Actinic LEDs. My aquarium is 48x30x24 and the T5's alone were not quite enough to cover the 30" span. I chose these LEDs because they were a cheaper option than completely replacing my light fixture and didn't require heavy modification. I wanted something that looked clean, these were perfect because they are simple and low-profile.

I attached them with the stock brackets and used some hex screws from Ace Hardware. The entire modification from take-down to lights-on wasn't more than an hour. Overall I'm very happy with the look.

I've actually had these for a couple weeks now, but I didn't get around to installing them because the first set was only pulling about 41w (they would slowly trickle down from 50w or so over a 5 minute period). Reefbrite advertises these as 54w light fixtures. ReefBrite quickly replaced them, one bar runs a solid 57 w but the other still has the same problem and slowly trickles down to 44-45w. I plan on sending that one back, again, for replacement. So far they have been very responsive.

Here are some pictures:

great idea. I have the same fixture. I might do the mod too. thanks for the idea. :bigsmile:

It worked out amazingly well. I literally had them installed in under 30 minutes. Make sure you get Hex Screws, made life a bit easier on the install. It adds the perfect amount of shimmer and POP.

Beautiful tank bud!

Love your coral choices!

 

[J&O'sdad]

Is there a big enough difference to notice with the leds. I have been thinking about doing the same thing to my power module.

Your colonies are AMAZING, do you ever cut them?

 

[Stpatrick]

great build

I've cut them quite a bit actually! Something has been causing all of my SPS to STN and I can't seem to track it down, it's been occurring for over a year now :(

This results in me having to cut up colonies or super gluing over the bases of the coral to stop the STN. In some colonies they are making a great recovery but in others the STN is still present. I've checked and double checked everything imaginable. I've even compared water samples with WWC, Jason Fox, and Cherry Corals using my test equipment, my water levels are not the issue at hand, it seems. I've been hunting down stray voltage and copper contamination. Those are my last two leads. It's either that or something pathogenic that spreads from acro to acro and self perpetuates so long as one is infected.

So I just removed the majority of my sandbed. What a relief! The sandbed was driving me insane, 50% of it turned into concrete. I pulled out a hunk that was about 20" x 9"!

What's really cool is that on one side of the tank where I siphoned out the sand, a huge plate of solidified sand created a really cool over-hang/clif. Pics soon once I finish cleaning it up.
