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

[Riftblade]

I ordered the new version of the 155e and it is due to arrive Tuesday!! I cannot wait! It will be replacing a T5/LED fixture which seems to be going bad on me.

Had a great experience with reef radiance, I got two of the 155's for Christmas, ...awesome lights...had to build a canopy for my tank and mounted them last weekend..it was supposed to be a diy vid , but I have a unheated garage and I built it in a hurry....here's how I mounted my Leds..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gLXZxqQ4qY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

After I bought the DM-132 every coral in my tank is growing like crazy!!!
For example I got this acan with 3 heads, now 11 in total!!
Not just my acans but also my palys, zoas and other corals!!

Reef Radiance has been a great company to work with. I have purchased 2 DM155e's to put over my tank, 1 Jebao wp25 and the Jebao wp3000 for a return on my tank. As you can see I feel they are awesome because I kept coming back. I did get a little impatint with my light orders because it was taking a while and I wanted them so bad. Of course they are such a great company that it was hard to keep the lights in stock so everyone just had to wait their turn. I wi continue to purchase from Reef Radiance.

What u got your lights set at?

I am curious as well about this, I am assuming this is in response to Sicklids' post correct? This will be my first time with lights that I can adjust and being fully LED.
Also, any suggestions where to start off with this light? I figure starting out full blast might not be the correct approach.

Depends on how much light you had before, but I started mine at 50/50 and added 5 every few days until I hit 100/100.

I had t5's before.....u ever use a par meter on it.?

 

[Beradd]

I am swapping from t5 as well and all the inquiries I have done lead me to want to start them out at about 30% and adjust up very slowly, if u have access to a par meter measure before and after and adjust otherwise start way less than you might think...my understanding is they wont look as bright from the start but if u adjust it visually without a meter you will more than likely be adjusting to high and run the risk of frying your coral. best to err on the safe side vs try and power up too fast. ... hoping I get word about my lights shipping soon so I can have another experience with RR and another post in this 400-500 range for a shot at a new pump too lol.... good luck all

Well I've had mine for awhile now, I think I might of had them turned up to much because as soon as I had them at about 50% blue 70% white, I had a bad out break of cyno...I'm new to this so I'm not sure if the intensity was a cause or a symptom of the cyno....I now have them at 50 blue 40 white..and it seems to be in check....I'm pretty sure it wasn't the lights...but who know

 

[chicagobears2010]

I also backed down the time that there on....8 hours for the blues, 7 hours for the white

Thinking I may need more circulation, any suggestions on a powerhead from RR?

I have ordered 5 155's from Rick and I'm super happy w them.
