Which LED lightest will you use?

[brojj]

Btw, forking out $800 for a lightset or equipment is not uncommon in this hobbies, especially if we re talking about 'reliable, trusted, branded, proven' ones.

Don't understand why they still stuck on to cool whites (which are almost unless. Mainly for our eyes pleasures) warm whites and neutral whites should be used instead. Reef breeders led (AKA evergrow) from USA (China) are having the best spectrum now. With use of neutral and warm white as well as red, green, cyan, Blue, royal blue, true and hyper violets. One of the few cheap led fixtures with really good spectrum.

[brojj]

Bro, like what u said, cool white is only adjusted for our viewing pleasure. When there is demand, there will be supply. FYI, orphek altantik V2 cool white LED concentrate on giving out light spectrum from 400 - 460nm, so, their cool whites (apart from other colors, blues, hyperviolet, red) is actually important for PUR as well as for viewing pleasure. At least what they are doing now gives me the feeling that somebody is finally heading towards the right direction & not juz making a 'shotgun' LED that 'shot out' every single spectrum, which are mostly useless for corals & waste of our $$$.

[Evolutionz]

Indeed. The altanik v2 is a very interesting and new led. I guess they'll work since its from orphek. Would rather put my money on this.

[brojj]

What's more, the controller used to control the different intensity of different channels is wireless, a tablet using wifi running on andriod. Now, that is cool.

[brojj]

I still remember when using razor, i had to climb up & down to program the 2 channels. Tired. Old man like me cannot take it. Young man like u sure no problem.

[Evolutionz]

Ok la, mine not hanged so tall. Honestly the only led I will consider changing to is the reef breeders photon 32.the altanik is nice but one is not enough for my tank. I'm happy with my razors though!

[brojj]

Photon 32. I remember that time u re asking for anyone interested so can import in together & changed to more blueish at no extra cost for orders of a few units? Am i correct? They re using bridgelux not cree LEDs. Looks big & bulkly but performance wise will not lost to razor. Can swap & change out the LEDs too, based on what i have read. 200Watt monster. More than enough coverage for 3ft. 90cm length.

Woah... the colour is amazing...

I am also using vega but I have no idea how to configure it...

What is lunar cycle? What is weather effects? What is sunrise & sunset? Why must set the duration? What is the region(Fiji, Hawaii...etc)? CHIM!

At night still have blue light! Not sure if the corals will "overwork"... ha ha...

Can share your configurations?

me not set the lunar, weather etc ... just set the 1st auto mode at 100% for all led for 12hrs daily and ramp time is 1.5hrs so mean full 100% blast for 9hrs daily ... me no set night mode so after light off the tank totally darkness ... tats all ...

p/s: my led at 9" above water level and my tank is 30" high ...

Got it... Thank you for sharing. I will try that out...

Wow, nice growth n colouration. How is your routine like?

Hi bro don't ask me about tat my tank consider ultra high nutrient with poor water quality because of my lazy style of reefing without any carbon dosing & wc only done when found rtn or stn or salinity drop even skimmer cup never clean for months ... so my water parameter really paiseh to tell ...

a latest pic taken few days ago the tenuis grow a lot ... pic just taken with my samsung S3 ...

Wah u r the first sps tank I see without wc or carbon dosing and yet can achieve such nice colouration on the sps.

its because of "Vega" ... but still many type of sps cannot survive in my high nutrient tank so keep those easy one only ...

[james72]

What are those species that can take high nutrients? I think my tank also belong to the high nutrients type.

[sherman]

Interesting. I like to know also

[Sengreef]

my nutrient is very high site PO4 at 0.1~0.2 range highest can reach 0.77 & NO3 at 10~20 range highest can reach 80 suddenly due to heavy feeding many fishes but if I force PO4 drop below 0.1 or NO4 drop below 10 my magnifica anemone will melt away tats y maintain at tat level with only rowaphos & sulphur without others carbon dosing ... those thick type sps like humilis, gemifera, abro, samoensis etc will not survive in my tank they turn brown stop growing than suddenly rtn in few weeks ...

Another sps grow under Vega in 9 months time from tiny frag to big colony ...

Beautiful stuff guys. Let me ask a simple question. As I eventually need to return to the US where power is 120 60hz, are the high-end LED lights that you are buying dual voltage (eg, usable here and in the US)? Really want to avoid paying out now and then having to sell in Pasar Salam... haha....

Thanks.

i see that you have an RSM130d. not much post on this rsm. anyway most led lights will come with a seperate power unit or their switching power supplies. just need to make sure you get those running on dual voltages. most likely you will need to replace the plug if the voltage is workable. this is what indicated on my razor power supply: Input 90-132VAC/180-264VAC

Look like only ORPHEK and Vega has proven result
