I moved over to the Dark side 2 weeks ago after 10+ years keeping SPS under T5's :strooper:

A Reef In The Sky
Those who thought LEDs... you are correct!!
Introducing the ECO Lamps KR93SP
The first outside Japan and the first ever 60" model custom built
Unboxing... everything arrived safely
First glimpse
The controller interface
The sleek looking ballast. One of two
Can you say LED??

Look forward to how the corals react to the change of lighting.
Andrew: Can I ask that you select a sample of corals and take a few photos of them, then after a few months show if there are any diffrences. Of course the white balance will change, but along with your observations this will be a good record of a changeover from T5 to LED.
Thanks.

A Reef In The Sky
The LED unit is up!!
I have decided to keep the ATI PM hanging up for the time being but officially 'A Reef in the Sky' is illuminated by LEDs!!
You can see how much thinner the unit is compared to the ATI PM 8x80W.
What I am excited about is that I will not have to drill news holes in the ceiling to support this unit as the hanging dimensions/width is the same. It also uses the hanging wire which fits perfectly into the eco lamp unit.
I will be raising the KR93SP unit higher soon. For the mean time it will be at the height you see it.
A day time setting. The unit looks modern and stylish IMO
Coral colour look great when viewed from the top.
With all pumps turned off to get some pictures of corals and the LED reflections. What I love is that there is so much more room to view the corals from above.
More pictures soon :thumbsup:
I'm excited to see the sunset and evening settings tonight as I finished programing it this morning. There might even be a short lightning show...hehehe

It does look slick doesn't it. I like it a lot.
Thanks... I wanted a unit that was long and would cover the length of the tank. Too many other short units out there.
Sure Sahin. It will be interesting to see any colour changes and growth rates.
Sure will do. Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Looks like a really great choice. I'm excited to see that ya got it up n running
Ahhh you beat me...you got your SP's up n running before mine
The corals are truly looking great. But do take extreme care...intensity wise LEDs are powerful and the T5 illuminated corals should be light acclimatized slowly.
We need a FTS with the LEDs on

KR93SP Specs
Ok guys, There has already been some interest in the specs so I have put all the graphs together for ease. They are from the Japanese website and translated.
I am no expert and just have a basic understanding. So if you want to discuss finer details about wavelengths, PAR, etc... for this unit see the link below.
It is under the Lighting, Filtration & Other Equipment forum. Thank you
eco-Lamps KR93SP
What I like about this is that the developers have put together a table of figures for the dimming timer to help you achieve the desired depth appearance. IE: 0-1m or 15-30M. I'm using the 3-5M figures as recommended but have knocked off 30% to begin with.
I'll provide info on programing the unit soon. It was very straight forward and can be done on the unit itself or from what I have read, through various controllers such as GHL, Apex and Neptune.

Andrew: I am really impressed with the inclusion of the different LED's at the Violet/blue end of the spectrum. You should get some awesome colour and flourescent pop.
However, I would have liked a slightly higher level of output on the red end. It is most likely just fine; since I've never seen this unit.
I really like the look and specification of this LED unit. I am certain you will get as good or better colours. I think the inclusion of the 400, 420 and 450nm LED's will really pop those flourescent pigments.
But do let us know how your red and pink coloured SPS react over the coming weeks.
Thanks.

I literally just found this thread today and read almost every page and realized i just witnessed over a year and a halfs work documented with precision executed to perfection. I think I have to visit Hong Kong once in life. V1...Rotate, my man, you are kind of like a reef genius you know what I mean?
