could someone please explain how the series power plugs work on the Nova fixtures? im not sure i understand it fully. in my mind i understand it as you can have 2 power cords run all units vs 2 cords for each unit? is this right thanks.

Correct. They plug into each other then just one plug into wall socket

+1 on pvc, haha, i feel like i am the king of the pvc lighting stand build. I have three of them going right now. I like it as i can mod it super easy and it is dirt cheap to build one up really quick. made this one for my PAR38 lights...

so if you ran them in a series like that and used an apex you would only be able to have 2 controls right??? but if you choose not to run in a series and used all 4 plugs on the apex i could do somewhat of a sunset/sunrise (at least from left to right on the tank) right???

None of these lights work with the dimming module of an Apex. The fixture from Twilight group in this thread has a built in controller that can do it.
 
That too is correct. Bhazard, thank you for pointing that out. I didn't think to point that out I didn't think to add that!

yeah i know the apex thing has not been worked out yet but i figured i could at least run the 4 different plugs on 4 different outlets on my apex and stagier the time to kinda get a sunset/sunrise effect (directional not intensity).
 
Has anyone had problems getting alibaba. Aka alibaexpress accepting credit card payments. I have spent a week getting it to go through. I had to call my credit card company to authorize payment . Calle dthem four time and finally went trough. Now I just got email from twilight the seller tells me alibaba is going to reverse the charge back in 3 days. My credit card company has no idea why.

Bhazzard. You order a twilight fixture any issues. I was using a master card.
Help thanks

I really don't understand why it's taking so long to get the apex working.. I would be willing to pay extra for that feature..
 
Look at this thread still rolling like a train! Lol I see bhazard is holding the fort down like a champ ... been busy lately but came on to check things out ...

I got a d120 runnin on my 65 gallon just One lights the whole thing up but I also got 120degree less before they stop using them and no optics so my spread is good.... but due to no optics I dont crazy growth from anything other then from my orange plate coral but nothing has died still running the d120 with calms and open brains In the sand with no prob.... still love these lights will be buying more when I upgrade to my 120gal

I member when I was last here there was a few that were gonna try the d120s with 34 blues 17whites and 4 uvs ... I'm curious to know how they liked this ratio and if they posted pics On it I missed somewhere.

I saw some were worried there 32 blues 19 whites would be to blue which I would have said it wouldn't be too blue cause its too close to mine(30 blue 21 white) to be too blue and then I saw they got them and sure enough they weren't too blue...

I had an issue at first. When I placed my order Mastercard declined the charge. Within minutes both my house and cell phone were ringing. It was Mastercard confirming that it was me making the purchase. Once I confrimed with them they let the charge through.
 
I brought my one from twilight about 4 days ago but used Paypal as a safer option since I haven't brought from them before. Simon said they are making it and it will be sent out on 28th or 30th but will let me know.

Same here. Visa was worried it was over seas. I decided to stick with halides the nxt day so it worked out ok
 
I was looking into ordering one of the d120's for my 40 breeder. The product site says that only one is needed for a 36 inch tank. Is that true or will I end up needing two of them?
 
Can I get some opinions on this light fixture? Lyn from Twilight sent me a quote and I was wondering if the color ratio seems good to you.
