Very cool Todd

Junior, Let us know what kind of readings you get with the par meter.

 

[Poseidon]

THis thing looks so cool! Due to the bulb size the applications are endless, you could use 1 bulb over a 4 ft tank, and reflect the light in at an angle, this would give you a variable intensity across the tank, great for SPS near the bulb, and then Acan and Chalice type corals at the far end.

That retro fit unit Todd has right now would be perfect for my 60g cube, especially if I could dim it to a 14k or 20k spectrum.

wow that is really cool. Cant wait to see how it works out

Very cool or "HOT" I guess
I would love to see a pic of it on your tank :)

 

[Paintguru]

Perhaps I missed it, but what kind of power do these things draw? Is there any improvement over MHs?

 

[bheld1]

Can't wait to check that thing out!

How much did you pay for this?

 

[CherryCorals Verified Sponsor]

I haven't paid anything for it. Its not mine to keep :(

Uses about 250 watts. Check out the glassbox write up, it has some good info.

Possession is 9/10th of the law though right??? LOL!!!! I am ONLY KIDDING!

Is it over a tank yet?

 

[CherryCorals Verified Sponsor]

Its not over a tank yet. I may briefly put it on a 36" x 60" prop tank.

 

[sly fox]

very exciting..

 

[GSELLERS]

what kind of PAR #'s are we going to expect to see out of this bulb and what would be the range? 20" 24" before the PAR significantly drops....?

 

[CherryCorals Verified Sponsor]

We will measure the PAR with our cheap little PAR meter in 10 days when the tank is up. After we do this rudimentary testing we will take it to Sanjay for a detailed analysis.

 

[Elan]

cant wait to see the results

 

[GSELLERS]

me too :)

 

[oceaninabox]

Me too Rev, I would roll the dice on this one.....

Very Cool! Where do we buy stock at?

 

[Chris22582]
