LED'S question

[sbazain]

my led's don't carry sunrise and sundown effects can you put timers on the lights so the blues can turn on first and then the whites and also when you finally set them to your coral liking does it stay like that night and day

 

[Waters]

Yes, as long as the blues and whites are on a separate plug and can be controlled independently. That is how mine are set up.

 

[sbazain]

Don't understand you mean white and blue cords on a timer and the other colors on the same plug

 

[sbazain]

Last night adjusted them lets see today how they react first day of new led's some of them.specially softies loved it the lps not yet going to put them on timers

 

[tigerdragon]

Which leds are you running brand? You need separate controllers or in other words if no timer function separate power plugs to control seperately

 

[sbazain]

Yea going to put them on separete timers so I can control the blues separate from the whites their aquamanas

 

[sbazain]

Theirs no way of getting the expensive ones cant afford them

Hey not everyone can afford the most expensive do what you can with what you can afford. The most expensive doesnt always mean the best luck

Well they've been running all day today and everybody is getting adjusted pretty good let's give it as few more days leds are about 7 inches from the water

 

[tigerdragon]

Nice just watch how high you turn up the whites they can be pretty intense

 

[sbazain]

Yes been noticing that ,I red you really don't need so much white blue is what corals are looking for to grow imitating deep water

 

[NanaReefer]

7" is pretty darn close!

 

[sbazain]

Yeap this is the thing my house the sealing is 10 feet high so hanging them is going to be out of the question + my wife said no hanging the diy fixture I did gets them as high as 7 inches trying to come up with another way to get them higher I know the higher the more coverage and less of a threat to the corals but right now their doing OK their opening and closing normaly

 

[tigerdragon]

Shelving brackets is a way to hang them

 

[sbazain]

thats one of my thoughts from the wall you mean right that would e a god way and o could go yp higher the only thing is getting them in the middle of the tank they have to be a little long

 

[tigerdragon]

Another way is electrical conduit mounted to stand and bent to a 90 deg over tank and paint them

 

[sbazain]

Am putting a pic up so you can see what I did kind of what your saying

 

[sbazain]

Heres a pic
