Just got my 4 foot unit yesterday - can't wait to set it up. Would like to get another for my frag tank.

Hey LFS,
Wondering how much the LPS 60cm version costs? will be lighting a 30x20x20 hopefully similar to matt greens! cheers

Love to upgrade to the 120S once I've first set-up my 4x2x2 and got the funds :(

Hi Woody,

If you click on the LFSdirect.com.au part in the heading of the sponsors page, this will lead you to the website.
At the bottom of the products page are the prices for these led units. Great to see you following mate!

Hi brendore,

Buy the light first... You can always get a new tank in a few months time, lol..... All the best with your new project, glad to see you following Illumagic led lighting!

Thanks mate.. Acutally a question.. I know wrong area but still.... Would I actually need the 120S over a 4x2x2, or would the 90S work.. Initially it will be a FOWLR but I would like to add a few corals a bit later on.. Main ones I'm looking at would be montipora's, euphyllia's and softies, so thinking a 120S might be a bit of overkill?

A M-90S would be ok! You would need a Cree version though. Keep in mind your mounting options when choosing a smaller light for your aquarium.

 

[brendore]

Cheers, mounting is no problem, I'm able to hang the light from the ceiling :)

90s would work fine mate. i have a 60cm unit over my 90 cm tank you just need to raise it a little bit more to get more spread.
im very happy with my unit i would buy it over and over again! best money i have ever spent on my setup.
view my TJ for pictures

Guys after reading this maybe a 45 would do my tank? or just better off going the 60? id be looking at these in a couple months by the way ha

 

[MTG]

woody what size is your tank? i would go the 60 if its a 3 foot tank. 45 only has one "bunch of leds" where as the 60 has 2.
i would put a 45 cm unit over a 60x60 cube.

 

[Woody Mackay]

800x500x500... i think i would go the 60?

 

[MTG]

60 would do it perfect :D

 

[Woody Mackay]

Seriously Matt you send me broke everytime I bring up an idea, Now i want one!! haha

 

[Synodontis]

I'd like some to, but will cost me far to much for our tank

You lucky people's

what size tank?

 

[Synodontis]

10ft long, 2'.6" high & 2'.6" wide. It's not a small tank lol.

 

[brendore]

3x 90S CREE should do the trick for ya Ken! ;)

 

[Synodontis]

Ummm, that would be $4000 odd plus postage & insurance. I havent even spent anywhere near that on the whole setup yet. :)
