Vertex Illumina Club

[olemiss reb]

I got mine from J&L but Premium Aquatics already has these in stock.
They have a sponsor forum here you can ask them there.

illumilux =/= Illimina

 

[Luxo]

[pk-sd]

No they don't, not illumina.

 

[Luxo]

Yes they do, you can call and ask, they just got them I guess not listed yet.

Bud,
With an exwife, newly married and 3 kids Luxo is used to being accused of being wrong :uhoh3:
After all these years of being wrong, it wouldn't even feel normal if that wasn't the case anymore!

Is there a way to mount an Illuminux strip on to an Illumina?

I want to add another strip of lighting, but don't want another hanging kit dangling from the ceiling.

 

[Animadverto]

I'd second that question. Are there mounting brackets available for the Vertex Illumina so it can be mounted on the edges of a rimless tank instead of mounting the fixture from the ceiling?

 

[Animadverto]

studentdriver,

Here you go. They do make brackets for the illuminux led strip. http://************.com/2011/07/14/vertex-illumilux-led/

Does any know if Vertex makes one for the Illumina?

 

[Jeremy B.]

There are no mounting legs available for the Illumina yet, however I'm looking into possibly getting this done by a local shop.

Burnt tips on Acros

Burnt tips on Acros

Has anyone else had burnt tips on Aros after switching to the Illumina?

I have a Elos 70 that had a Geisman fixture over it. 24" 250mh with 4 T5 actinics in it. I run a DE 20k bulb

I hung the light and set it to 50% 50% 50%. Everything looked great for a week so I set it to 65% white 65% Royal Blue and 50% Blue on Friday.
When I came in Monday I had burnt tips on most SPS and all have gone deeper colour but not all have gone brown.

No other changes, ALK is steady at 8 (API kit) so its not alk burn. This tank is usually my beta tester, everything lives because I dont mess with it. Fish dont even get fed sat sun as I am at home and away from the tank.

So I have the light back down to 25% across the board and it isnt getting worse, hopefully everything bounces back

Algae was starting to grow on the tips (up to 1/2 dead on every tip) so I trimmed most of them off to try and get everything to heal up

Anyone else out there? Have a similar problem? How did you go about fixing the isssue?

 

[Flagswipe]

I should add what I hung up

24" Illumina 260

 

[Animadverto]

Jeremy B.,

Please keep us updated with the mounting legs for the Illumina. I don't want to do ceiling mounting because of recessed lighting above the aquarium.

Thanks.

David

I recently got the 24" illumina for my 36" 30 gallon tank. I'm considering upgrading to a 75 or 90 gallon tank that is 48" long. Do you think I'd still be able to use the 24" Illumina adequately over this new tank?

 

[Animadverto]

If you upgrade your tank to a 75 gallon with the following dimension of 36" w x 24" d x 20" h or 90 gallon tank that is 36" w x 24" d x 24"h, you should be able to use the same fixture with no problems unless you are set on getting a 48" long tank.

 

[leporinus]

wow those are nice.

Is any body running the red supp's yet. I have mine on order but would be interested in seeing a b4 and after shot with the red panels
