I tried calling twice. Left a message the second time but I got it sorted out. Should have my light soon!Just call the store.
I would start them off real low. Like 50blues and 25whites and go up 5% a week until your corals tell you to stop. They are strong lights for sure. How high is up to you. Mine are around 9" but some people keep them much higher. Mike (the owner) has his at least a foot off the top of his 560g.I have the JBJ 45 Rimless and I just purchased the 16" WIFI version. I have for the past 4 years been using the Kessil. I am completely unhappy with the Kessil. The only thing I liked was the natural look of the tank under it and the clean look of the mounting and light. I am going to re-purpose the mount for the SB. I never had any luck with colors, everything turned to poop brown under these lights. I called Kessil and asked for advice, gave them specs, and no one had the same answer and none of their answers worked. It would seem not even Kessil knows anything about the dang times and schedules of these lights. It wasn't until I borrowed a friends black box LED that I saw magic. Montis got color back, growth, blues came back. So I tried one last time with Kessil for advice, this time through Facebook, got told to email again. Got no response, so I bought the SB reef light.
I emailed SB Reef before I bought the light for advice on which one to get, but this thread answered the question. Now I just need to know how high the light should be and what the white and blue channels should be on. I'm sure I'll sort it out. Their website was very difficult to check out on. I ran into that same issue as the others. It kept knocking me out. Finally got it sorted after fiddling with it for a bit.
No in general. I have one fan that gets a bit squeaky.Just one thing I need to know before dropping some coin on a SB, Are the fans noisy?
Thanks, can they be easily replaced ?No in general. I have one fan that gets a bit squeaky.
Yes, they are a standard size and its easy to open the case. there's several you tube vids on it as well as some from SBreeflights.Thanks, can they be easily replaced ?
yup. I have a 16in over my 20x20x18 cube @12in. ITS VERY POWERFULLLLL. Look into a Par or lux meter to set it.Thanks Salty, going to order the 16" Elite Ramping if that's a good choice for a BC29??
Here is my only compliant. I work in a business where we ship and receive, A LOT. On their (SB Reef) website they give EXACT numbers on when the light will finish processing, and when it will be shipped. We never do that because there is too many variables. Weather, accidents, production errors, and so on. Based on this I thought, dang these folks have their crap on lock. So I gave back the black box I borrowed back so my buddies 55 is not without it's left light, and sold the Kessil to pay off the amount of this light on my credit card. I figured I'll be without a light for a day going off their websites numbers giving them a few extra even. Nope. It's been 7 days and I just got a shipping notice, tracking number has it on the slow boat from China. I get LOTS of crap from China. It will be another week and a half I suppose. So I borrowed my buddies black box again so my reef won't be without a light.
My suggestion to this very new company. DONT GIVE NUMBERS. Of course, let people know it's going to be a while. Leave it at that. Or if you HAVE to throw out numbers say hey, a month or more. That way you don't lose right off. I know nitpicking but it's just friendly advice. I am very excited to get my light and know it will be wonderful!
Mine are not noisy at all.Just one thing I need to know before dropping some coin on a SB, Are the fans noisy?
I have had the 32" extreme on a 85 gallon rimless tank about 5 weeks. Have used Reef Radiance in the past and this light blows them away. I have mine mounted 14 inches above the tank. My corals are really starting to color up real well.Anybody have the 32" extreme wifi? I'm looking at it for my 90 gallon.
