[Confuse]

I tried the android app on my tablet today, but I couldn't even work the color wheel. I guess it was designed for android phones and not so much tablets. But the iPhone app and the android app look practically the same.

I had 2 for a long while now. Added a 3rd and looks much better on a 300dd

How did you mount them? Front to back every 2 feet?

I have the major diffusion lenses and like them. But did they really bring the PAR down so dramatically? I have to say I am getting good color from red corals which is something LEDs lack sometimes. The reds on my fish are really deep and almost glow. And best of all, no disco effect!

My reds also have great color and glow.

How many AP 700 fixtures is everyone using on their 72" tanks?



According to Kessil:



Single AP700 Maximum Coverage:



"¢36"x 24" at 7" above water level

"¢48" x 24" at 18" above water level



So you would only need 2 for a typical 72" tank?

I have two and it is perfect coverage for my SPS tank. I measure over 200 PAR in each corner on the sand bed @ only 60%. My peak is not @ 75% for 4 hours. 7" about water. Two is plenty!

Depends on the tank. 72/30/30? 72/18/8?

I'll be starting with 2 on a 60/27/27 but I think I will end up with 3.

Couldn't tell you. I can look tomorrow.
Kessil said it would be compatible but that it might take a bit before they get it to be.
If not, I'll have 2 AP700 for sale.

The new Apex is wireless... does that change anything?

The software would have to be able to do API calls on the network. Which I doubt since there hasn't been any os changes in Apex. I preorder my cerrebra for this reason. Ready to jump ship.

LOL
that's what I was thinking but I don't have them here so I couldn't verify it.

Are they not able to make API calls due to the OS?
ABI calls?

 

[vhuang168]

I don't really need it to be Apex controllable. I do wish it was cloud based though.

No. I have a combo T5/ap700
I run 3 down the center. One for each section
And 2- 5 foot 4 bulb ati's on the front and back.

I used the hanging mounts. I have a sliding rack in the canopy to glide them out for service.

That is some serious lighting power!
If I had 3 I probably would have tried front to back in between each section without the t5's and seen how the coverage was.
