Led Floods on EBAY...

Have you guys seen this. Check out this seller on ebay." the_jonvh ". I recognized the pics and saw this guy selling flood lights on ebay using TomStav's lights and tank pictures.

Thanks for the update.

That's a shame though. What did you end up going with?

I went with 3 Reef Breeder 96 watt Bridgelux LED Value Fixtures and I love them so far.

Sound like a much better buy.

Can anyone suggest a cheap LED alternative for a 90 gallon reef with SPS / LPS?

I currently have an 8 X 54 nova extreme pro T5 fixture.

Aren't those the really loud ones?

I heard to solve it, disconnect the current fans and replace them with computer fans. Only a $14 fix

 

[Rich42082]

Has anyone tried this and can confirm that it works? I'ld hate to spend the money and end up with some loud lights.

New to all of this. But I've read the whole thread up to this point. Going to set up a 75 gal cichlid tank. Not sure if I'm going to go planted or not. Would 3 10w that put out 6500k-7000k be enough. And if I don't go planted, suggestions?

I would think you would need 3 to 4 20watt lights 10's won't supply enough light

I just ordered two of the 10w floodlights for my 20H planted tank. Worth a shot. I may only need one but in case it's not enough I got a second.

 

[CorallineAlgae]

I just got them in (2x10w LED daylight floodlights) and installed them both over my 20 gallon planted tank. They're dim looking, at least to my eyes. I won't be able to say if they actually grow my plants for a while but they'll definitely get their chance to prove themselves. Here's hoping.

 

[tonedogz]

Thats why I told rob_ stl that he should get 20's and not the 10's because I didn't think they would supply enough light

I can always use one on my 5.5 gallon quarantine tank and get a 20w to replace one on the 20 gallon. I totally agree with you on using a 20w instead of the 10w for plants. That was good advice. I'll follow it and order the 20w tonight. Thanks tonedogz.

Anybody here have anemones with these lights?


I have 7 50s set up but it just doesn't seem bright enough.

Will post up some pics and get opinions.

Might have to get 100s

the spectrum seems too blue to me.

There's a pic of my foxface sleeping. He was motionless and blotchy, he's a bit of a creeper at night.

How are the lights treating you?? I know it has only been a week but I want to know any and all updates

 

[audifusion]

I'm going to order 100's, 7-10 of them. I don't think the 50s are bright enough
