Giesemann Nova II 1 x 250W Light Fixture!! Anyone tried it?!

[John Kh]

That's my strategy

I still do not know what you have in you tank!!

Alas, I am currently without a tank (but relentlessly researching as I should be able to set up another within a year). This was my old tank.

What a beautiful tank, I am sorry you don't have it set up right now, but I am sure the new one will be even better.

Not to derail but can you obtain the same color with T5's? I am new to them and have not got to play around with the various bulbs yet...

That's a really good question. I've been playing with the idea of T5s for my next tank, probably the ATI Powermodule fixture. Having read a lot of info on what bulbs create what sort of color light, to be honest, I'm still quite unclear myself. I think the nearest to this lighting might be a 50/50 combination of the Aqua-blue Special and Blue plus, but it's difficult to get an accurate idea of color from photos on the internet....

Ligthing issue is really complicated. I know that myself because everytime I read more, I get confused more. Isn't amazing how these 2 goes!! I got myself the first MH Giesemann Nova II 1 x 250W 20,000K!! And it is really nice

Would love to have a Giesemann fixture for my next tank.

It is nice. Nice design, nice light effect and nice result. Triple nice As for my tank, I agreed on 2 X Giesemann Nova II MH 250W 20,000K, 4 X Blue Fluorescent 36W, 2 X White Fluorescent and 1 X 150W MH 6700K. I think this should be enough for it.

22 x 250w? 8O

Or is that a typo?

 

[John Kh]

A typo TOM You don't really think I would install 22MH 250W each on a tank of 220Cm long, LOL. I would light the whole neighborhood with that!! Sorry for the Typing Error.

Well, you might have wanted a combination fish tank and sunbed.

 

[John Kh]

That can work too. Never though of it actually. But seems like a nice idea. Sunbed on the reef side!! How nice can it get
