New Lumen Bright Reflector. ... any info on them

[grandp10]

They are prob. about the same, one will be able to be hung higher, so if you make a canopy to put them in one canopy will need to be taller or have an open space in the middle to hang the pendants higher than the rest of the canopy. Look at the way JRaquatics did his canopy if you want to go with the LB's, they really are IMO the best way to go.

[JRaquatics]

Reeflux 12ks all the way. No other lighting used.

after searching back through ur thread, i found that i would be interested in getting the LB with deeper concentration, i was wondering, should i get the mini or the regular? what do u have JR?

 

[JRaquatics]

I have the minis. What size tank are you setting up? dimensions?

 

[Nickde123]

damn JR you became the unoffical LB guy !!!!!

 

[JRaquatics]

No kidding. It seems as if everyone else that was on this thread is watching their corals grow.

 

[IRISSERVICE]

JR thats the damm truth...seeing growt in front of my eyes..i had corals that have not moved in size in months, now i see differences every week..PS from same bulbs, can't wait till i change them in april

Interesting thread! I read the whole thread and I don't see many folks with narrower tanks like my 90. I am hooked on the iwasaki 175's, got the ballasts and the bulbs so that is what I will be running. I am considering these reflectors (anything has to be better then my spiders). I lack the equipment to test lighting at different heights. I would think that with a narrower tank and lower wattage bulbs you would want to go a bit lower to the water. I want to illuminate in the tank, not the area around it so the idea is to keep the light pattern relitively tight. With that being said, how high off the water would you go?

 

[psteeleb]

my tank is only 24" wide and the lights are about 12" above using the LB mini's. I hardly get any light spill over and gtreat penetration

The Minis would work well with your tank dimensions. I purchased my light set up from Reef Specialty. Since then I have bought all my reef items from Mike at RS. Best customer service by far IMO.

I will get you the pics you requested in a few.

 

[sirreal63]

There are plenty of RC sponsors who have them as well. I would support our sponsors as much as we can.

 

[IRISSERVICE]

Reef Specialty is a sponsor...
And one that is awesome
