I've tried a few things to limit it so my skimmer wouldn't get too much light. This lens shade fits on it without blocking the vents and can at least block in one direction:Anyone build a canopy around this cannon to limit the light spread (5x5)?
Good plan...starting slowly and monitoring and measuring. Shouldn't be any issues running short, other than less PH stability effect.I am new to the h380 experiment, I started with new chaeto (2-golf ball size) with light on only 5 hrs. Will monitor growth rate and determine how long before the nutrition crash will occur. May have to go with less time eventually. Any negative issues with low light runtime?
There is a middle of the road, the H150. But unfortunately it looks like they're discontinuing it. There is residual stock available from what I understand.Good plan...starting slowly and monitoring and measuring. Shouldn't be any issues running short, other than less PH stability effect.
I'm waiting for them to come out with an adjustable version, since most of their lights have that feature. And with a 10v control line so a controller could adjust the ramp of light. Even the H80 has those features. And/or a medium (H180???) version for smaller fuges.
It is an intense light for small sumps and can be overly efficient in stripping nutrients so some may opt for something less powerful. I also think it could be a Christmas echo effect.I just bought this light 2 weeks ago and it grows cheato really fast and before I bought it i couldn't find nobody selling it on here and now I've seen 3 in the past week and I'm wondering why there selling them??
Like drtrash said, as high as possible. May need to limit light incursion to other parts of the sump depending on the layout.What's the best height to keep it at off of the water because I don't have alot of room above my sump
Nevermind about this because I just thought about something I have a nail up higher then the gooseneck will allow me to go so I'm just gonna hang the light on the nail and then I'll be atleast 10 inches off of the water would this be enough because I'm gonna put a pump in with the chaeto to keep it tumbling because it's gotten so big that it stopped tumbling after a week of growing. But will 10 inches off of the water be high enough because that's about as high as I can go I'm pretty sureHere's a picture of my sump and the light what do you think in the way of the height and stuff
H150 has been discontinued for almost a year. Kessil won't comment on a replacement, but as I've noted earlier, you can pretty much bet they'll come out with a H160 that's fully adjustable. They wouldn't even need to do anything other than subbing out the diode pcb on the A160 line.There is a middle of the road, the H150. But unfortunately it looks like they're discontinuing it.
