pdnyc69's 150 with aqua illumination led 72" fixture

[pdnyc69]

Here are some new pics of my new light fixture. I love them. they are super bright and the fans are silent. It is very user friendly. some things are still acclimating to the light so they are not fully open. pics are with blues at 100% and whites at 60%. i did some aqua scaping also.

Very nice pdnyc69. Those AI units are powerful, you should consider lowering the intensity to 50/50 for a week or more and bring it up 10 to 15% each week. I notice that there is less spot lighting effect when you hit 6+ modules.

great lights Pete....which controller are you using?

 

[pecan2phat]

Looks like the AI controller.

How many LEDs on each array?

 

[juiceguy]

i was asking because the Profilux controller has the interface for AI that gives more options for the lights

 

[pdnyc69]

I am using the ai controller but am thinking of getting the profiluix controller.

Where did you buy it and how much does it cost?

 

[pdnyc69]

I got it from reefgeek.com. It was pretty expensive. But I'm looking long term here. I think it is well worth the money. I will keep updating with coral growth

So, you have 6 of them over a 72"LX18"X24"H tank ? Are they about 6" above the water line ?

sanjay.

 

[pdnyc69]

It is 29" deep and yes there are 6 pf them 6" above the water line.

Wow, Great looking fixture ! Nice controller !
But $3200 ! Thats alot of Cash!!

 

[pdnyc69]

Yes I hurts so good. Lol

 

[pecan2phat]

More like $3300 but great feature is that they are truely modular. You can add modules as the tank changes or if you upgrade size wise. I think I read that some were adding a 7th module to cut down on the shadowing or spot lighting effect.

 

[pdnyc69]

To me I don't see the spot light effect. But I guess only time will tell

I believe those are 120W units and if so, I really think you should consider dropping the power even more at the beginning unless you have been running crazy amount of light before.

hey looks great! i have these lights also -- you dont have a way to test PAR do you?

i read the PAR results on the AI website (700+ PAR at 19 INCHES?!?, twice as much as 250W metal halides...!?)

They did their test through air only, so i wanted to see if anyone can test these through water.

 

[pdnyc69]

I don't have a par meter. Wingo it says that these equal 400w mh. I had 250 mh previously. I just lowered the whites to 50% and left the blues at 100%.

Hey jonny how ling have youhad it?
