Reef Discussion

[rosechaser]

Thanks Shane....made sense of what I couldn't, and thanks for the answer

 

[Axe S]

What would you suggest for 6' long x 2.5' wide x 2' deep?
I would like to keep a couple SPS as well...

 

[MTG]

from what i have seen 2x 3 foot, would be fine or 3x2 foot units.

 

[Axe S]

that's what i was thinking.. it'll spread over 2.5 wide alright?
Which model would i be better of getting? Cree or Polar??
sorry fairly new to the LED idea and i am looking at purchasing fairly soon and i am still very confused.. lol..

 

[vpreef]

With the optics i doubt you will get a 2.5 wide spread.

Im considering 4 x M60S units for my 6x2x2, from what i have worked out this will work the best!

 

[Luke]

I'm hoping mine turns up this week sometime , I will let you guys know what the spread is like ,
I bought 3 for a 4 footer, Two C models and one S

 

[vpreef]

here is what i was planning, but im just trying to compare the costs to going with Vertex illumina 1600 instead.

 

[MTG]

by memory you can controll 3 slaves on the one master? or am i wrong?

is that going on the 4 foot? you are getting a bigger tank tho arnt you?

 

[Luke]

6 foot,
I think we should move this over to the illumagic thread in the equipment ,

 

[vpreef]

I think you can only control 1 slave?

 

[LFSdirect]

I think you can only control 1 slave?

A master can control 8 foot of light inclusive of the master.....
Therefore a Master 2 foot unit can have 3 two foot slaves connected.

 

[Nephrurus]

Any news on these lights?

 

[MTG]

Waiting on mine to arrive :)

 

[Luke]

Well ,
In a few days i will become an Illuamgic owner, :cool:
As their seemed to be a lot of interest in these ( previous thread ),
I thought id get this going in anticipation < On the tracking slip , I see them waiting for Customs in Melbourne, So not long now :)
How many of you have them ? , Or have seen them working ?
When i get mine i will also try my hand at a review
So what are your thoughts on these ?
My thoughts will be added in soon :) :D

 

[MTG]

What models did you get Luke? I have one of the new advance models coming I ended up going with a C Model 60cm unit with the 60 degree optics, it is going over my 3x2 very excited,
I also currently have a c45 original model unit over my frag tank. Have had it for months and it is a great bit of gear, that good that I am taking the leep and putting it over my display, can't wait to see the results under these new purple LEDs,

 

[Luke]

I bought 2 60cm C models and one 60cm S model
All 75 degree optics Over a 4 footer :)

 

[MTG]

That's going to be so much light !!! Are you planning a bigger tank ?

 

[Luke]

Just going to keep some SPS in this one

 

[Luke]

Had a bit of a tidy up
