Nuked my LEDs

[knap_123]

While moving I blew my Steve's LEDs by plugging them in backwards. So I freaked out since I have a 12 gallon mixed tank. Steve's is going to fix Them for me and I love these guys. There lights grow all corals sps included. But for a temp solution I bought a solor flare 115 clip on. Guys this light is awesome! The shimmer is more intense and great color. You can also use them on rimless or rimed. I'll see if I can get a vid or pics sometime. And the price is awesome as Well. This light will be a great back up light after I get my Others fixed. Or maybe vise versa. I will keep you updated how my sps, Lps, and softies all do. I have been watching 2 other tanks at 2 different stores with these lights and asked alot about them. Lots of good feedback but they are in the selling business. I just want to keep my pets alive and happy.

what size area do you think that light would illuminate well?

Well I have a 12 I'm trying to figure out my wife's iPhone for a vid I took. But all my corals open and look well so far.

Just a little update. Still waiting on my LEDs to get fixed and returned. But thankfully the 115s are keeping everything alive and growing! I found 2 new zoa buds and my montiporas and birdnest have new growth as well.

Emailed Jeff from Steve's today. Asked when my lights will be fixed but got no Reply. Its been over a week now so I hope they hurry up. I added 4 6700k to my lights. To take some of the yellow out of the standard kit. My solars are still keeping my corals alive. Actually had to move my Duncan's to a shady area do to them closing up. They are on the sandbed but were getting to much light I guess.

If you want to take out yellow, add royal blue.

The lights come with 9 r.b. and 5 n.
w. standard with seperate dimmers.

Well after 3 weeks and $ 84 more dollars! Parts , $40 for labor, $13 for shipping, and upgrading to full spectrum. I received my lights in the mail. But after openining the box I discovered there was no power pack. I sent one to them but they failed , forgot, got busy, something to box it with my lights. So I'll. wait some more I guess. These lights burnt there fan motor 60 days or so after I dropped over $200 on them. Still loving my cheap $60 clip on with good growth on my montiporas.

Man I'm so pi$!ed off! It's been nearly 5 weeks $84 and my lights don't work! There's Noway to call these guys and that just makes me more frustrated. Now I got to send the lights back so that's another $20 ill have invested in them. But my clip on is still going good and I have huge growth on my Mountie and birdnest. Rastas and zoas all looking fat and happy!

Got my lights and they work. But I paid to change the leds to full spectrum. And they did so when I got them back last time. But this time there back to originals? I don't no guys, soooooo I emailed Jeff to see what happened. On a positive note my clip on solars are still looking and growing my corals well. Might digis have really grown.

I have had very good experiences with Steves. If you have any questions or are wondering why something is taking so long, just email him and he'll answer.

I admitted he has been good with helping me. But it is frustrating none the less returning for the third time my lights. And its not cheap for either of us as well.
