We do this in engineering as well. It is called a PUGH diagram. 🙂
we meet again lol
great tip bruv
i really love your channel and videos, wish i knew these back in 2006 when i had my 75gal tank that got wiped out by ich infestation 🙁
how long does the average LED fixture last? 2,3…….5 years? i have had a set for close to 5 years everything is thriving
guys. on my hydra 26s. what setting do i set for coral color and growth
What height should I put the Maxspect Razor R420R 27″ over my 40 Breeder ?? Please help thank you. #KeepReefing
Hello guys! Im a total newbie on marine aquariums. I want to startup a new marine aquarium so i’ve been doing some research…
I would like to setup a reef tank with clowns (that’s kind of my goal)
So i would like to know what led lightning would be best…
I think i would like to get something as cheap as it can get but with good materials and colors inside my tank.
My tank is 150cm long x 30cm wide x 50cm height.
At the moment i only have the tank (need lightning, filtration, etc… everything to start with)
Thanks for the advice.
Fans? Par? Too complicated. Thanks anyway.
I love led tubes,expensive at first but pays for itself,they can last upto 10 years
Hello
I’m looking at the maxspect 160 watt fixture. It needs to cover a cube that’s 36″ x 36″. Do you think it’s a good or great light.
Thx
Great video as always! Oldie, but goodie. Yes, stop worrying about PAR! I have never had an LED that I didn’t have to turn down to at least 50%.
Reef lights are easy. Plant lights are more difficult since there’s so many misinformed aquarium owners that think LED’s don’t grow plants.
[long lost twin brother] Cute. Thanks for the vid.
I was left more confused than I was when I first found this video….
If I want to do a Nuvo 20 what is the best single unit light that would give me the option to do SPS if I wanted to?
203k views and not even 1k likes why is YouTube deleting the likes
was this guy kazoo kid?
get a sb reef light, thank me later
Looks like the brother of Less than jake vocalist.
I’m having a hard time finding a led lights that will penetrate a 31″ tall tank would you have any suggestions? I want the ability to grow anything so if I decide to change the tank in a few years or so atm nothing is set up not even water in it and I have a 4 bulb 216watt wave point but not sure what that would do. tank specs 48″15″31
OK help me please i have a 55 Gal tank 4 FT x 16 inches and almost 3 FT tall and ive been trying to grow dwarf baby tears i know mayby im over my Head with this plant but its my favorite looking plant Q: what do you sensai recomend in terms of lighting ? Of course any other tip would be appreciated thank you
So wound it just be cheeper to create a small sun in my bedroom, its provides both light and heat & has its own gravity so it could generated a small natural tide. Plus it powers itself with nuclear fusion, just think of the money i would save on that energy bill.
making my own natural sun to light my tank seems like a good idea.
I just bought a Maxspect Glaive G4- M40 and as I only want Zoa’s, mushrooms and such I am hoping that it will give me enough PAR on my 20 Gallon nano tank…what is your opinion? Will it indeed be enough?
This guy should be called The Dude.
I’ve had my new 180w 15000k Maxspect Razor for a couple weeks now and it is terrific, right now I’m running it 60% white and 70% blue 🙂
Hey +BulkReefSupplyCom Im trying to get a solution for my 40 liter (sorry but i dont know gallons, im from israel we use liters) nano reef . for now i have lights fish and one mushroom that survive with only 9w led 🙁 im on a low budget beacause of recruiting to the army (very low salary) but i wanna get somthing a “bit” more serious then these awefull 9w led, im on a 60-80 dollars sad and small budget, the length of the tank is 50 cm, i personally dont really mind messing with colors, i need actinic+ regular white that can help with lps+ zoanthids and anemones,do you have any ideas of options for me?…. thx for your time!!
replaced most of my household incandescents with LED— the difference in heat generation when walking into room is just freaky noticeable— which leads to my question—
why are fans installed on LED lights for tanks? Why have more moving parts when passive ventilation/ heat sinks could mitigate heat build up— the little that there is?
What effect does common household lighting have on reef tanks?. With my tank light off it’s still getting light from the ceiling light and light emitted from a TV.
do any of those lights have a shimmer program
Besides the benefit of lower long term cost, what are any other benefits to switching to LED lights? I have 2 400 W MH and 2 96 W PC on a 120 gal square tank.
my cuestion is simple, i need a diferrnt leds like red , green, purple, 10k, 15,k to grow my corals..???
or full spectrum and actinics is ok…???
great video thanks
Can you use an LED lighting system with just a glass flip top lid for the aquarium? I’m concerned it would create to much shadows for the tank. Any product suggestions for someone with a hang on skimmer and heater and doesn’t want an open top tank?
Hey bud, let’s party.
Hello I am going to buy 2 separate led lighting each light has 26w and 33 leds is that to bright for a 15 gallon reef tank? These are the lights I’m getting http://www.charterhouse-aquatics.co.uk/classica-led-stretch-marine-600mm-p-16091.html
Is tmc v2 iluminair 600 any good
What kind of LEDs would be able to grow SPS in a 40-48inch deep aquarium, the SPS would be 15-25 inches from the surface of the water? LEDs and T5 combination. Would Kessil A360s NE work? Thanks.
90 gallon red sea. 2 lights. 12 inches off water
Really great video! very informative! Subscribed!
I can’t believe it’s so difficult to find a good led for a 10 gl. tank
I have 2 radion pro can you tell me how high and what intensity do I put it..my tank is 24 x24 x 48. I have LPS coral.
I know this post is kinda old but i could use some advice on selection. Im setting up a 20L to move my 8 reef to. I really like the sleek feature of the AI’s but im kinda stumped if one centered would be enough for sps.
the cost per individual LED really is absolutely irrelevant! you can have 100W of power bundled into one single COB cluster, that many would concider to be one LED component, or divided up into 500 little standard LEDs of 200mW, like the ones on LED strips. the efficiency in lumen per watt makes more sense to look at. everything above 100Lm/W is pretty good.
I spent 40$ on 120 watts if light try to beat me
great video very informative
I wanna smoke dope with this guy. Also, I found it informative and useful.
I have a fluval spec 5 that I’ve converted to marine. Would a kessil a160 be overkill for my tank? If so what light would you recommend where it gives me the most options on what type of corals I can house? Thanks!!
Im having difficulty picking between the new ethereal lights and the kessil 360
