Reef Radiance led light..OMG..What a light....

[BigDaddyReefer]

Garrick what's the length of your tank? My 240 is arriving tomorrow. I'm counting on it to cover my 4 foot tank. Hoping it will be enough

Please take pictures, I have a 48 in tank as well and I'm curious to see what one 240 looks like over it.

 

[luxauterna]

I posted a pic a couple pages back of my 48" long 75 with the 240 over it. It was daylight out at the time so there is a bit of glare unfortunately.

48" 70 gal tank

 

[garrickrevels]

It's a very bad iPhone pic and the light isn't centered on my tank. It needs to move 3" to the right

 

[zwulfke]

looks nice though I want to build a hood for mine to mount in

Looks good

 

[EllisJuan]

I took a few more pictures. I still have not gotten the white balance right so they are a little bluer than it appears in person.

 

[zwulfke]

Mine comes tomorrow YAY

 

[Dmmz]

I received my dm-55em with moonlights a week ago for a birthday present just in time to hang it over the tank before my sister inlaw got home. She loves the light and can't wait until the tank cycles to see some coral under these LEDs thank you for the great service can't wait to buy a RR light for my tank next

 

[NanaReefer]

Tell me I read this wrong but.....the instructions for my 180 says channel 1 is for blues and channel 2 is for whites. Anyone else notice this?

 

[luxauterna]

EllisJuan - Your tank and new light look great!

NanaReefer - The little manual that came with my 240 doesn't specify which channel is for which .

 

[Bosco83]

Got my lights they are so nice! Now someone please post up your lighting schedule . So far I just programmed the for every hour just to get them setup.

Well, here is mine. I used the 10 minute 10hr sheet of the Excel program I tweaked to create 95% of it and tweaked the beginning and the end to run a bit with just blues. I am a night owl so I have it running very late so I can enjoy my tank more...

Be careful not to stress out everyone in the tank with a lighting cycle that long.

I didn't really think it was that long...no longer than the natural light cycle of the sun. Only the blues are on very low for the first and last hour of it and the whole fixture only goes above a 25% for 6 hours a day. Previously I had run my T5s for 11 hours and my metal halides for 9.

Ellis.. Looks good! Did you find the tank mount to be a little, umm , kind of cheap feeling? My screws won't even lock the sliding legs in place. Think I might just hang it. Also, did your tank have a glass top? Does it have a lip around the edge? Mine required some McGyvering to fit it over the rim

Thanks! As for the mount, I would call it functional. It is not the same outstanding build quality of the fixture, but it does work. A few pages back Rick recognized that the screws were too short to lock the legs and said he would get some longer ones and send them out to us. My tank did not have a glass top, I prefer to run it open top and keep my fingers crossed for no jumpers. The tank does have a lip around the edge that prevents the mount from sitting flush, but it feels stable enough.

Got my lights they are so nice! Now someone please post up your lighting schedule . So far I just programmed the for every hour just to get them setup.

There is a spread sheet posted to my site

I've had 2 xenias for a year that never pulsed. Day 2 with lumentek 120s and they started pulsing.
