What kind of blues are they? I wonder if you could do a 25 white 25 blue and then 5 royal blue for the extra pop in the corals .... Don't know if that would make much of a diff ... Also if they would let you customize it that much... What brand leds are in your units?

That last pic did look very blue to me also but I thought it was just the pics

The NOVA style ones also have heatsinks, which is one of the reasons why I went with one. I believe the fans are 120mm now as well, but I'd have to check. I think I even got some "UV" True Violet actinic leds installed for my unit, which would be awesome because I wanted to add them in on my own anyway.
 
Yeah a bit bluer

Ian, your last photo appears extremely blue. Is that from the camera, or how it really looks? I am still trying to decide between 1:1 ratio and a 30:25 ratio. Thanks! Looks great!

Yeah my tank is a little blue... 2:1 would be way to blue... Unless its half royal blue and half blue with neutral whites...

So I went a little heavy not to much so I can dial the blue back a bit if I need to..

Sam has been great, and arranged the customized A4 for me. He also let me know that I was the first in the US to order this model, so I'm excited to try it out.

Seriously... This guy wants to build the lamps we want...
He knows ther is a market and he is tring to tap a knowledge base to figure out what to build.

He was on this site but they booted him... On one hand he really was only tring to get info for future products... But he does have commercial interest and this ain't really the place or that...
Regardless let Sam know what you want. He will make it happen...
:thumbsup:

What would be a good spec build for the A6 link below?
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/553622912/NOVA_A6_180W_Dimmable_55_gallon.html

Optical Lens? Also I don't see a 120 optical which would provide more spread... wonder why only 30, 60, 90?

White/Blue? I prefer a bit more blue, but I can always dim as needed.

LEDs without lenses are 120 degrees...
You don't need much...
Get a 55x3w from aliexpress.com....
$165 free shipping... Ask Sam for a 30 blue/25 white.

The nova is bad azz but it would be a MAJOR overkill

Ian do you run no lenses on a 24"tall 18"wide tank or 90s?

And can I come check out your units still sometime? If so get me an address so I can see how far you are from me thanks

And that light you suggested would be adequate for a 46 gallon or 55 gallon? Which build spec, do you have the link please Ian? I would also want the dimmable as well, but guessing you understood that from posts.

Well according to Sam they make 30,60,90,120degree LEDs "without lenses". With 90degree LEDs being 97% of there orders. Just what he told me.

Here is what he made up for me 30blue/25white no lens http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/511146/211493744-560675278/Dimmable-120W-led-aquarium-lights.html

Ok,,, my badd I thought you where talking about your 29 gal.

How long was the tank?
I'm using 2 on a 48"x24"x30"

If your tank is longer than that or shallower than that get 120 degree LEDs

Contact Sam and he can set it up for 30b/25w if you want

Ithink That nova has built in lens optics... Look at the bulb...
My fixture defiantly has lenses.

Yes,you have lenses, Im just saying you can get 90 degree LEDs without lenses that have more spread of light than the spotlight effect 90degree optics will have on a not as deep tank. optics will get you deeper penitration.


Are the optics on these lights like a magnifing glass or are they just a reflector that limits the spread of light?
 
I'm looking at a pair of dimmable Nova A4s for a 40g breeder SPS dominant tank.

Is this overkill, and would a pair of the $165 dimmable 3x55w be a better solution? I tend to like the LED cluster style better than the grid, I would imagine they give a little more punch and a stronger shimmer...
