youcallmenny Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Haha sorry. I made a decision. I didn't realize ReefBreeder had released a whole new line of lights. The V2's have been awesome but these new ones look sick. Now hopefully someone buys my old ones and takes some of the hurt out of my wallet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I’m excited to see that light! Are you going to hang it or use the mounting legs?

youcallmenny Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 I did not specify but the legs. Ceiling is really high so probably would be too difficult. I'm excited too. Just couldn't justify 3x g4 radion pro's. The biggest difference is this one has wifi and app control. It also has UV diodes which the photon lines do not. I think I might need the par meter again lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know... just is always kind of annoying when you are all excited for a new build and then they go crazy. Part of the process but still frustrating. At least you are taking it in stride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Eh, it's all good. The coral are so happy with the new light it's hard to even really pay attention to stuff I can't control like that lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the difference is between this and the old light? overall intensity/spread or spectrum? Sounded like they were using similarly high quality LEDs.

youcallmenny Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 These LED's are actually quite a bit better. The upgrade to 7500K whites really makes a huge difference. Spread is the other big thing. The old ones were more direct lenses but these new ones leave no shadows. It's crazy. These new ones come with some preprogrammed options . It's on a slightly modified 'SPS' setting now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Tesch Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Gorgonians are looking great, the overall tank is looking even greater. What are you feeding your gorgonians? They are looking very healthy and polyps are super extended. Those are all from Gulf Coast Ecosystems right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you feeding your gorgonians? They are looking very healthy and polyps are super extended. Those are all from Gulf Coast Ecosystems right? Thanks Brian! I was just looking at your thread and right back at you, it's looking awesome. I feed Red Sea Coral Care or whatever it is parts A & B once a week. Other than that I just autofeed high quality pellets twice a day and good frozen food a couple times a week by hand and that's it. The longer I do this, the less I concern myself with feeding coral directly and the more I worry about having big fat fish that poop all my coral food out. 2 of those are from GCE but the most of them are from @Lexinverts.
