Hey Larry- I'm pretty sure thats the one that was supposed to come to my house - let me know when is a good time to come pick it up. Appreciate you checking it out to make sure it works for me hehehe that is one awesome light!

 

[LarryW]

:lol: ok....... setup was pretty simple, I am not sure where I am going to put the ballasts, I might leave them on this side like in the pics....

 

[Deuce67]

Cool feature! I have to resort to not turning on my MH on Thursday to simulate cloud cover.

How did you glue up your hose on the bottom of the tank. I never had any luck with those they just pop right back out?

 

[murfman]

Very nice, Larry. I can't wait till the price comes down, then I will seriously consider one for my 125. You and ROBERT need to hurry up and get your tanks set up so you can influence our decisions to get these high speed light set ups and become more green in the process.

Wow sweet just what I wanted. Well that is one high speed light you've got there. I like picture #11 right before the shot of the ballasts.

I wonder if the difference in the LED colors in the reflection is the natural difference for full spectrum or if its the Starphire glass. Either way I've done some research on these and they are highly programmable enough to keep a systems engineer busy and the fishies happy?

Nice going!

 

[LarryW]

It's not glued in there yet, just form fitted.
The moon lights are sweet, and setup is real easy, but you can tweek everything...

 

[Huhhhhh]

How do you plan to glue them in there. I never found anything that would stick to the plastic those tubes are made of. I think they might have some kind of Teflon or UHMW in the mix of plastic. Let me know if you have something that works. I have a few of those tubes I would like to use if I could get them to glue properly.

I was going to try PVC cleaner, then glue. I will ask Jim how he glued his into the sump on him softy frag tank.

That's what I originally tried and with a mild twist and turn it popped right out. If that's what you're going to use I would try and pull it out after you glue it up before putting water in it. If you can't pull it out then you should be safe. I was shocked how easily mine came apart.

 

[LarryW]

hmm, cool Thanks.

I will try it before I water test.

I need to stop by guitar center and get a couple of those DJ power strips. I also need to figure out where I am going to mount these power supplies.......

I am hoping to have this thing running by september.... Probably water tested in a month or so.
