New lights soon. Nems and corals, here I come!

After getting the bug for lps and nems, and maybe some sps, I can't decide, and after seeing what my tax return will be wof, I've ordered a pair of Ecoxotic Panorama 24" fixtures.

Looking forward to learning more about nems and getting back into lps.

Nice.

 

[yogoshio]

I would assume since sps is good under these a clam would be too?

 

[Cubbies]

You got it

 

[Smitty]

Yes sir...

 

[yogoshio]

Lights came in today!! Made a box frame for the lights in design with my hood. Here are some pics. THESE THINGS COULD LIGHT MY WHOLE #)*(#(&)(#*+#@!!! HOUSE!!!

Each color is on a dimmer, and it came with an extra plug in to add another module to each fixture already.

nice they look good hopefully I'll get home and my goodies will be there too ...the extra power chord is nice if I read right you can continue to add strips until fixture fills up right

 

[yogoshio]

Yeah. You can fit all squeezed in another 3 modules per fixture screwed in, and then you can still add stunners outside of it as much as you want. In the future I'm gonna get some magenta and RGB stunners.

does it look like you could put one 24" unit on a 36" tank and add a couple of modules to support sps's and clams?

 

[Aabjones888]

they look sweet on your tank by the way

From reading both, I'd say yes. One fixture with additional strips would be plenty.

Actually, it depends on the depth of your tank too. They have a very accurate planning guide on their too....

And you can ask them any question and they'll answer honestly. I've read a few where they advised not buying too many of their products, which made me feel good about it.

When just one light is on, it's not full strength, but the light extends halfway to the other side. It's amazing.

pretty sweet, this just moved up on my led list, keep us posted on how urs is doing

Just finished building the canopy for it.

Painted the stand black to match.

Lights are running strong, it actually burned out my film algae problem, lol. Clowns and Flame Angel are brighter than ever, and the white stripes on the clowns are almost luminescent.

I think you are harnessing the power of the sun in your canopy lol!! looks great!!
