Sfiligoi Infinity XR4 w/ ACLS controller

[naka]

Let me begin by thanking Will (Aquarium Obsessed) for setting me up w/ these monster lights. Light fixture alone will steal the show for your aquarium setup, but with the ACLS controlling the MH dimmers. It's the cherry on the cake.

My tank dimensions are 60 x 30 x 24 and this Infinity XR4 is 48". It lights up my tank super bright, but only when you look up into it b/c of the Italian reflectors only concentrates the lights on my tank. The lights don't bother your eyes at all when look at the tank.

I have my halides coming on around 9 am w/ right one coming on gradually until the left one coming on to join in on the mornign sunrise. Really cool to see. Same look in the evening when it mimics the sunset effect. Don't even get me started about the cloud similation and the lunar cycle. Super cool toy!

Enjoy the pictures.

Looks really nice.... how much did the ballast and fixture run you if you dont mind me asking ?

Absolutely beautiful setup! Would love to see more pics as things progress.

I seriously considered the 72" version of these, but ultimately went with an Aqua Medic fixture due to cost. I'm happy with my lights...but man, those are awesome. Other than the cool dimmers and the fact that it looks like a UFO is descending on your tank (that's a good thing btw ) I like the fact that it has 2 rows of T5s on each side. On my lights, I have one row, and they're a bit overpowered by the HQI, and I have no real flexibility to change up some of the lighting color if I want. Very cool.

:lol:

 

[moonpod]

no...three....hah, hah

 

[Tremelle]

Can the ACLS be used with any mh ballast. or will they only work on the Sfiligoi fixtures?

 

[loweryster]

The ACLS is a ballast and yes they are universal.
James,
who made the tank????

 

[moonpod]

I use mine hooked up to LAIIIs

 

[loweryster]

I would like someone to put a video together showing what these things will really do.

 

[moonpod]

Hmmm...the thing is mine dim over 2 hrs the way I have it setup.....check my webcam out starting at like 3pm PST up to 5pm. link is on my website.

 

[loweryster]

thats very cool

 

[catastrofe]

So are there any ballasts in the fixture or is everything handled by the ACLS units?

 

[EnFuego]

My question is pretty much the same as catastrofe. So, these are the ballast?...So other than this unit, all you would need is a pendant? Thanks.

doesn't dimming tear up the bulb? though i guess replacement bulb costs is nothing once you pony up this kind of dough...
