Vertex Illumina LED Fixture - My New Toy Is Here!

[Jeremy B.]

I had to post photos of my new toy that just arrived today via UPS. I plan on putting this fixture over a small nano tank, 24" x 24" x 12" mixed reef. I will keep this thread updated with photos as I go....

That is one nice light Jeremy, looking foreward to hearing your thoughts after a full evaluation. I didn't think these were being shipped to the US thanks to Orbitec. Anyway congrats on the new light, the vertex line has been growing on me alot lately, anxious for the cerebra unit to come to market.

[Jeremy B.]

They are not available in the US yet, you would have to order it out of Canada.

Congrats! You'll love this fixture, I have the four footer...

Tip: Dial it down to 50% White, 70% Blue 70% RoyalBlue initially to avoid bleaching your corals! This puppy is a PAR Monster!

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip! I have already scorched out some softies, have made the adjustment already. I believe I'm going to restart the tank with this light as an sps dominated system. I'm hoping to accomplish this over the weekend, time will tell. I'll keep this thread updated as I go through this. So far though, this light ROCKS!

Nice Canada only fixture~~

Blame Orbitec's patent on LED lighting for reef aquaria in the U.S. Thankfully that silly patent does not apply to Canada and rest of the World...

 

[Jeremy B.]

In my opinion they will eventually be available in the US, although it could be a year down the road.

Hey J, where did you get yours at? I just received some pricing information from Sea U Marine, but would like to price a few reputable places.

 

[Jeremy B.]

I had to pull some strings to get mine, it didn't come from a reseller, just out of Canada.
