You have an answer for everything don't you?! ;)

Not really keen on having anything above the light. Want to keep it nice and sleek. :D

Hey Nils,

I've currently got a M-60c over my 3ft, I am looking upgrading my tank to a 1200L x 750W x 450D, would you recommend a slave unit?

Cheers

depends if you want to control it individually. personally id go for a master just so you have the option there. plus helps resale if you ever end up selling ( and its not much more expensive )

Thanks Matt,

We are designing and building our new home and it will include a 10ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft in wall. Was originally looking at a 60c Master and 3 slaves to sit over the 10ft as well as 2-3 solar tubes. I am looking at setting up the 4ft as a short term tank while we build, then it will be converted into frag tank. so looking at buying 1 slave or 2nd master till I need the next 2.

for that size i would go with 4x 2 foot units. if you plan to keep the lights forever i would go two masters and two slaves. gives you an added level of controllability.
or you could just go full master! would be interesting!

Grab MTGs M-60C master and then in future when your house is done , hook up 2 or 3 M-60S slaves in the centre, having the M-60C on the outside- will look mint!

thanks nils, trying to get missus to agree with that logic.;)
I know the feeling trying to get my misses to agree to the 4 foot version M-120S . Makes a lot of sense as it is modular and I will also be upgrading tank in a couples of years so easy to add on when we build another larger tank. Also customer service is aussi

Are the pendants adjustable LFS? as in can move up and down the light to suit an existing mounting point in the ceiling ?

We should start an Illumagic wana be owners thread :p
