how long did it take for you to recieve your 240 from rick

albrittonsteven · Feb 12, 2014

npw all i need to find is a better protein skimmer for my tank the one i got is way under sized

If I remember correctly, Rick had mine at the door in 6 days.

For the 240s?

I recently received the new DM-155e and am very impressed with build quality, both components and finish. I have a bad habit of taking everything apart and this fixture was no exception. Much of an improvement over my Evergrow fixture in many ways. The question above regarding optics 90* and 120*, the entire 'Blue' channel is 90* and on the 'White/Colored' channel the Red, Green and Amber are fitted with 120* optics for better spread/blend overall. For the money cannot think of any on the market I'd rather use, and only modification I would even think to make would be to exchange one of the Red emitters for another Violet. Agreed on Rick's above and beyond Customer Service, nearly have him on speed-dial and has not hung up on me yet...lol

Cheers, Todd

I've never been able to get a manufacturer to answer me and when he did that sold me and he's quick to respond

Almost forgot..... I also ordered a 'Seneye ~ Reef' unit from Reef Radiance and should receive by tomorrow or Friday. I will do a comparison in PAR and Kelvin temps between my own DIY array, RR DM-155e, my Blue/White Evergrow fixture and a new Broad Spectrum Evergrow fixture above Duane's (trido) 210g Reef. I'll post in a different newly created thread and hopefully can add another new fixture every so often to document.

Cheers, Todd

I'd like one of those but after shelling out 888 for lights it's out my budget for now

Whats the diff between reef radiance and reef breeders?

TJ's Reef · Feb 12, 2014

Reef Breeders fixtures are customized and re-branded Evergrow fixtures like several others, each having their own take on color and layout of emitters. Rick has obviously found a different source/factory and has made some significant improvements IMO. Noticeably the quality of Fans, POT's and case finish. When I said I took this fixture apart I meant completely disassembling it.

Cheers, Todd

I found out about reef radiance through a online coral seller claiming his house lights are comparable to to reef radiance but stronger but from I seen I'm glad I chose to go with rick.

albrittonsteven · Feb 13, 2014

Thanks rick for the info on the nano 60 all that light needs now is mounting brackets like your other lights

albrittonsteven · Feb 13, 2014

i wonder how hars it would be to use the evergrow leg brackets on the nano 60 so i could use it on my nano cube

You will like the seneye reef . I use the par meter on all my tanks . the moniter is very nice . be sure to soak the silde for 48 hours before use .

I have had the Dm-155e fixture for a couple months now. and just WOW! simply best lights around for sure. my corals have tripled their growth no complaints about these lights. if your looking for a LED fixture look no further. Purchase! 5

Here are some pics of my 40 gallon breeder with the Dm-155e fixture. running blues at 55 percent and whites at 25 percent.

I am currently running the blues at 60 percent and whites at around 40 percent. this is pretty much where im leaving it at. light is 14inches above the water and spread is perfect. no shadowing spots. great converage on 90 degree lenses.
