Fixture installed and running since a week now, Burn in Phase completed.
ATI Powermodule 8xT5 & 4 Cluster of LED.

Really happy with it so far.
I got impressed with the lights when I got my PAR meter out........;-))

Still playing with the GIESEMANN bulb arrangement and configuration.
Also working on the Light curves and schedule.

Looks like orange bam bams to me.
Your corals are looking great! Nice sun coral video.
Paul,
Thx, yes those are bam bams which a few Zoa freaks confirmed to me as well.
I never really hunt for Zoas, but they come in sometimes attached on colonies.

Some news on the PSX Reef is the trial of Nano-Bubbles on the system.

I made a few short videos in HD on the test run prior the first night.
At the time of this post I have already 2 nights of Nano bubbling done.

THX to @Diesel and @Cruz_Arias from Elegant Corals , for the valuable info provided.
I did not figure it out by myself but promised I will try this method, so I got plenty of Info for the required setup, visual appearance, rating and Co2 scrubbing info.

Here are the Videos:

Can't wait to see if/how it works for you!

Me too !!!! :)
I might need to build something to house the Airpumps in a sealed container connected to the Co2 Scrubber.
The Airpumps are simply from Walmart and don't have a real Air Inlet connection ;-(

Hey Reefer,

I thought to post a few pictures of my glowing Corals under my new light, I finally got a chance to play a bit !!!

These pictures are under an @ATI North America - ATI Powermodule Hybrid, with LED Clusters used only.
Still playing with the Colors and most Acros need to develop more fluorescence first before they can start glowing.........
I love the Giesemann Powerchrome T5, thx to @Diesel for the lessons on bulbs and his Bulb configuration is great.

LOL, I just got a email from Ecotech that they want me back on radions G4 this time :)
If the tank is still running by the end of October I might just as well jump on them, but it will be a first time that I won't have any SPS in there and it will the LPS Diesel tank

Well, imagine a tank full of Anemones, colorful zoas all over the place, shrooms, nice Hammers, scolys and plenty of Gorgonians...........can be truly a dream of fluorescent colors.
And then you can keep the tank easy dirty and higher nitrates to make em all happy as hell ;-)

Would be great if you do that.

It would be great to enjoy it but I can't as I'm every other weekend gone and if I'm home than I'm working.
Just bought another company and with two years good return will sell it for 100% more and you can't match that with any investment.
But it takes a lot of time out from myself.
Did you know that SPS won't play nice with three months of no WC and any care what so ever :(
