I just replaced my metal halide fixtures with two IT2060. I got both at a great price for $520.00 total off eBay from aqua2goled which appears to be ocean revive as that was the name on PayPal account when I paid.
The lights came well packaged and look great. I like the sleek look of them and control panel is easy to use. For more specific information on the lights go to this site http://www.oceanrevivellc.com/goods.php?id=15
I hope to use this thread to express my experience with them as time goes on.
I am starting with a short white photo period to see how the corals adjust. here is my settings to start off.
No lights - midnight to 0600am
Moonlights (1% to 9%) 0600am to 0830
Blues only (10% to 25%) 0830 to 1100
Whites on at 1100 at 5%, blues at 25%
1130am - blues 30% whites 15%
At 1200 blues are at max of 40% and remain 40% until 2000 (8pm) but whites change throughout this time
1200pm - whites 20%
1300- whites 30% (max for 1 hour)
1400 whites 30%
1430 whites 20%
1630 whites 15% and every half hour go down 5% til off at 1800.
I am hoping this is a good starting point.
Pics of fixtures. Wish I would have taking some of them in packaging and before hanging.
