Bye Bye Powermodule,Hello LED's

[TopNotchCorals]

I must say I was definitely 2nd guessing my actions on selling my ATI Powermodule and going with this LED fixture from Luke at reeffiltration but boy am I proud of myself after firing this bad boy up.I wasn't sure if a 15 3/4"x8 1/2 LED fixture would light up my 24x24x20 tank up but boy was I wrong.It definitely lights the whole tank up with no problem at all.

Here is a picture of Mike's sexy super green favia with the T5's

And here it is with the LED's and yes they are all on not just the blues:wink:

Here is a sps shot,I noticed that the polyps have more extension within half an hour of putting the LED's on the tank.I can definitely say that if there was a such thing as a 275-300w MH this would be comparable.The tort in the backround polyp's have extended a bit more also but hard to see in the pic.More pics to come.......:bigsmile:

I went with the GEN 1 fixture luke33 is selling.I can't beleive I didn't mention that in the opening....sorry Luke

How many bulb PM did you switch from?

I was running the 24" 6x24w ATI Powermodule,two of the things that I really did't admire about the T5's was that you get that pastel look on your sps and you lose the hues in them also(I did anyways),the 2nd thing is I got my shimmer back:bigsmile:and I can always add to the LED fixture if I want it to be more blue or not as blue.I can just buy some reefbrite strips if needed.That was another thing I was 2nd guessing on going with this fixture was the "k" look.I like my tank more blue then not and this fixture is pushing a 20k look and I don't think I will need to add any more blue

 

[TopNotchCorals]

Pretty!

Thanks Tonya,now its your husbands turn to switch to LED's.....:xd::tongue:

Sorry it has been sold for a couple weeks now to NaClCrocodile,the man paid for it right away to make sure it didn't go elsewhere

 

[TopNotchCorals]

Looks good

thanks,Im sure you saw that sps that I picked up from you at BAYMAC RichardI totally forgot the name of it

 

[NaClCrocodile]

Hehe, my move from no lights to 6x24w PM will be almost as nice :bigsmile:. Looks good and glad you like it. Is it possible to change out LEDs independently? I'm looking forward to going all SPS/Carbon with the tank that your old PM will light up.

I don't no much about LED's from a cree to a diodide I couldnt tell you anything I don't know what the difference is but I do know that I like the fixture and that you will like the PM

 

[johnanddawn]

cool.... i can't wait to make the switch

 

[NaClCrocodile]

Lol I was the same way when I was about to jump on the Maxspect bandwagon. I'll ask Luke.

Are you thinking of going LED now??

 

[jaytizzle]

Looks good, Bay! Definitely the right call to dump those chintzy T5's and get with the big boys! :xd:

 

[NaClCrocodile]

Oh, no this was a while ago. Curiosity really. Maybe a fuge/frag light, but I've been in love with the ATI PM for a long time now. Gonna be sexy as *** when it get set up. If it was going into a fuge/frag section, I'd go ahead and get a PAR38 just for ease of use - screw it into a clamp on socket and wham - frag station lol.
