DC is lime green and dimmer was included in the deal, i will suspend it to around 20"




BML = An LED fixture from a company called BuildMyLED
Sat Plus = Current USA LED

They are pretty long for me. I just got a 10g grow out tank, would like something small.

Worse comes to worse they go in storage with the 75 gal oscar tank..

Hah right?! It'd be best to unload them though.. I don't want to earn led hoarder status..

Would you say that this would be medium light over a 40B? Sounds like a good deal for a planted tank. Combine this with the dollar per gallon sale, nice setup for under $200.

After using the so lunar for about a week now I'm not wildly impressed. The user interface is a little difficult and it comes with ZERO instructions albeit it includes a url to visit a pdf version of a user manual that is pretty confusing. The dimming profiles are nice but the other affects like lightning, moon, wave, and clouds are not very good at all. The lighting is extremely aggressive and looks for like a strobe :blink: the moon just is the fixture dimmed down to 10%, wave is a strange little function that is very choppy, and clouds might not even do anything... its hard to tell. The sunrise and sunset are good though and it allows to dim and increase light level throughout the day so it accomplishes what I really care about and the manual dim also works fine. You won't be disappointed with the fixture, very high quality, and I'm quoting from old scales here "You could beat a bear with that thing and it would still be fine.". The light output is pretty incredible and I didn't get the XB. Lights up every inch of my tank and the plants pearl like crazy.

Love the Old Scales quote! I remember that one.
Everyone's running off and getting BMLs with fancy controllers...I feel like a caveman.
Brookster - Will you be starting a new thread since the dual sats will be "so 2014"?

2 weeks ago bml wasn't even on my radar. Great deal presented itself and i jumped all over it. I won't start a new thread no, maybe change the title? My tank still won't look as good as yours
with 5 BML's and cherry on top.

I like the solunar for the sunrise/set features really.
