something a little different

[oblio]

Neighbor got a cell phone that goes underwater, so of course I asked if I could put it in my tank. Different perspective anyway. And it isn't easy to hold a cell phone by the edges and move it around inside the tank. :spin1:
And that sound I have never heard till this video.

Pretty cool. Nice test for the water proof phone too.

its simply to white/bright for my eyes at 100% color. I contacted Kessil because it seems to me if I use their lights and their controller they should be able to tell me what my kelvin is at a given setting.
They responded back and said the lights have the capability to go from 10k -> 20k. and that for the most part its linear. So 100% = 10k, 90% = 11k and so on. So using there information my lights move from 20k to 15k and back to 20k during the cycle.

But yes, at 100% on a 24" deep tank these lights are too strong. I personally like not running devices at 100% duty cycle so it suits me just fine. My DC9000 return only runs at the 3rd setting. 39watt draw, dead quiet. hopefully that equates to it lasting awhile.
