Who uses reef breeders led

[ruppertb]

It is on page 5 of my 180build.
Not the best pic but you can see. I drilled 1/2in hole in the aluminum so if fit over the hanger mount. Then washer and a acorn nut. Then I used a screw washer threw the aluminum and then a spacer into the canopy.

Yeah looks nice man you did a stellar job. Still the fundamental issue is if you don't have a canopy or anything else above to augment or drill into then therein the issue lies.
Very nice work though, looks sweet.

I'm also trying to decide now wether I buy this or the hydra, the hydra looks amazing though. For some reason I can't find any reviews of the hydra.

It was just released.

These will have more PAR and be stronger than the Hydra, but the Hydra does have some nice features. The director might be nice when it is released as well.

Great looking tank! What intensity to you have your lights set?

I just got my photon32 today. Does anyone have any program suggestions so that I don't shock my corals when I change it out with my 150w halide in the morning?

I have 2 IT2080's over my 180g and I had 1300W of MH, t5 and led stunners before I switched. After 7 months I'm doing a 4 hour sunrise, 5 hours of peak and 5 hours of sunset. The peak is now 90% blue and 50% white. I started with the same length of sunrise, peak and sunset, but the peak was 40% on each channel. I bumped up one channel or the other by 10% every week or two. Reprogramming 48 setting in all 3 fixtures (I have an IT2040 over an anemone tank too) is just brutal! But it all worked just fine. You have had less light (assuming it is just 1 150W MH?) so you may even want to start at lower settings.

**** that's insane! Did u get a custom layout or just what they come with? How long have u been running them?

 

[kchristensen8064]

Well just got my photon32 on Wednesday. Have it all set up and only running up to 30% max for now as to not shock my corals. I'm loving the colors compared to my halide. 2 days in and very impressed so far.

i got the photon 16s recently & they are stock, but i had another brand growing my corals for about 2 yrs. so it's not all of a sudden look what popped up.
The new photons are much brighter & more colorful then my previous setup as they are controllable & the old setup was just blue & white.

Reef Breeders has said they found an issue with the 30 minute schedule resetting itself. No fix yet, just suggested using the 1-Hour schedule.

Hi, we heard from other customers that it is only the half hour steps that have issues saving settings. Switch to one hour for now, we are working on a solution.

Here it is

Would 3 of the value fixtures work in a 7'x2'x2' 210g
Mainly sps. Would be replacing 3 250 radiums

3 EverGrow D120's (or RB 'Value Fixtures') is a bit iffy for a 7' long tank, especially if you are doing sps corals. If you are doing lower light corals and can hang the 3 fixtures a bit higher (for more than a 2' x 2' spread) they could be OK. You'd be fine with 4 of them. IMHO, 2 EverGrow IT2080's would be a better option, but they are $449 each. Look at OceanRevive (a new sponsor here) as they sell EG fixtures.
