SALE, 32" and 24" Units, Up For Pre-Order!!!

[LukeG]

I'm building a 20 gallon tall mixed reef (24" wide). Which fixture would you recommend? What percent would you run it at and what height would you mount it? I'd prefer full spectrum as I don't like the 20k look.

I would reccomend the 16" fixture, it would cover your tank well, and have plenty of power for whatever corals you want to keep. There is no correct percentage, just start off at 25% power, and add 5% power every few days to acclimate your corals. From their, simply adjust the color to your liking. The fixtures are about a 14k with both channels at the same intensity.

Should I use optics?

I would use the 90 degree optics the units come with, 120 degree optics would also work just fine.

Nice!

what would you suggest for a standard 225 gallon with sps in the middle? I originally ordered the controllable 32 inch fixture about 6 weeks ago for my 90 but that tank started to leak so i'm sticking with the 225. figuring since the lights haven't shipped its not too late to change my order.

Your lights shipped, I would simply add another unit.

I also have a 40 breeder and was wondering if there is any other way to mount these other then from the ceiling.

Using conduit pipe. Like an upside down "L" or "7" with it being straight down not at an angle. The flat part would attach to the back of your stand and you could hand the lights for the poles crossing the top of your tank.

Someone got pics of it, hopefully they will post one. I don't have a setup like this but I've seen them done b4

I built my own Conduit hanger with 1/2" emt pipes from Lowes. Inexpensive and strong. I don't have pics on me but will take one once I get home.

Here's the picture. I used the smallest corner attachments they had.

How did you mount it to the back of the stand.

 

[jtgordon20]

This is a metal stand and I am upgrading soon so I just used lot's of electrical tape and put an L shape metal piece then the pipes rest on that then wrap and wrap in electrical tape. With wood there is emt straps that can be used or you can go fancier and get something that you can adjust heights.
