I picked up a frag about a year ago. Put it in the middle of the tank under 2 120watt LED's. It has grown to about 10" tall and branched out to about 6" in circumference. (Mutiple brances) While cleaning one day, I broke off a piece about 6" in length. I move and mounted that piece to the other...

About a year ago, I decided to take the plunge and purchase some LED lighting for my reef tank. I spent many weeks researching the different manufactures and models of lamps. It really came down to two manufactures. AI and Pacific Sun. I finally decided to purchase the Pacific Sun Black...

Pacific Sun Led"s Well, several months have gone by with my Pacific Sun Led's. This is an analysis of my lights. I have two 120 watt units on a 75 gallon tank. When I first received my lights, I noticed that the fans did not work properly. (In my opinion.) After talking with Rafal and him...

Ok, I have had my Pacific Suns for a few months now. I have found them to be worth the money spent. I have not noticed any increase,...nor any decrease in coral growth. My sps and lps are all very happy. Growth continues to be good in both. My chiller has had a sharp decrease in run time from...

Have done as you suggested and cleared memory. Then reprogrammed as suggested. Thank you for your input.

Thank you. I will play with with the setting starting at your recommended settings.

Recommended Daily Light Hours And Color. What does everyone recommend for color and length of time for LED lights. When I was running MH's a few weeks ago, I ran my main lights from 5:30am until 5:00pm. No algae problems as I run a sulfur denitrater keeping my nitrates at 0. Corals were growing...

Clams You should be good. Clams do like a little nitrate though.

100% agree. The fixtures are very expensive. Heck, I thought MH fixtures were unreasonably expensive. I actually started off pricing a new Coralife MH 2 X 250watt fixture. But they quit making the 250Watt in a 48" fixture. I then checked on Hamilton and they did not have what I wanted. (And...

tomtoothdoc, I loved your pic. I laughed for about 5 minutes. As far as LED's are concerned, I guess I am kind of lucky,...and perhaps a bit optimistic. I have been in the Orlando, FL area for a few decades. For the most part I have worked in the hotel or hospital industry as an...

My tank is a 75 gallon mixed tank. Perhaps a few more LPS than SPS,...but close to an equal mix. I want to get the lights to about 75% power before taking any pictures. I just hooked them up yesterday and am starting at 45% power. I will increase by 5% each week. Even at 45% the corals, clams...

Pacific Sun Led's Just got mine in today. They are the cat's meow. Even my wife who was ready to skin me alive for spending so much on lighting thinks they are great. Unbelievable easy setup. Had to call Rafal at 7:00pm (Saturday) He picked up and answered all my questions right away. (He was...

Cali_Reef & Rareclowns, I cannot figure you two out. You have a few guys who have a really good product. And it seems you just started to bash their product and the guys themselves. I have read every post over the 30 pages and the both of you seem really petty. I am fairly new to Manhattan Reef...

I have ordered the Pacific Sun units. After many months of research, they are the best on the market. Felix and Rafal ALWAYS answer the phone. Even on weekends! I am in Florida,......far from them. But they are running a legit business. And I feel you would be very happy with their customer...

There are additional cost savings that I have not seen mentioned here. If you are running MH, you generally have to run a chiller. A chiller is expensive to operate. The chiller itself produces a lot of heat that is released into your room. Now my A/C unit has to work harder to remove the heat...

Awibrandy, The problem you are going to have have taking internal ballast out might not make it worth the trouble. It can be done. In the past I have use 12ga. extension cord wire and regular plugs as a quick disconnect. But you will probably find that your internal ballast and starters are not...

Give this place a try. They should be able to help you. http://hedgehogvalley.com/pogsavail.html

Nice pics. You must have an awesome camera.

My experience has shown in a reef aquarium, always go as big as you can. Adding a refugium will give you more water volume. This will help aid in water stability. Thus help is some fashion the amount of water changes needed. It will help keep all parameters of the water stable. IE temperature...

I canot speak about this particular regulator. But a couple of years ago, I did purchase what was then AP's top of the line regulator. I do not remember the model number. I can tell you it had the regulator, solenoid and bubble counter built in. I had no problems with it and it did it's job...
