Hi thanks for the imput George. I do like the first lights also. But keep changing my mind! :? :? :? Your right about seeing the aquarium and surround. So have added some quick pictures. I dont know if silver pendants or black would best suit. With all the rest being black dont know if...

Hi, Had a change in direction over my lights. Changing my MV's. My aquarium is 60"L x 22"W x 24"H. I cannot for the life of me make my mind up which lights to go for! So after opinions from others. Really its about aesthetics that I cant make my mind up over. All the lights will do the job...

I second UltimateReef. There is hundreds of people on there with alot of knowledge about everything technical. Or you could try giving http://www.marine-lighting.co.uk a ring. Very helpful guys. Dave

Mines still running after three years using the original batteries (using it at present on non aquarium equipment). Only just started flashing low battery. :P So you have notice when to change the batteries. Just like filling up your car. :P To make sure I guess you could change the...

Hi, Just remembered this Byron timer system. I Have used these in the past on my aquariums and found them very reliable and accurate. If I remember correctly a kit containing programing remote and four sockets cost me £30. Also if I remember correctly each remote can timer control up to 8...

Expensive route Aquatronica or GHL. I have a Aquatronica kit and its superb. ££££ though. Cheap route - as garuf says ikea do them. Just seen 2 for £5 at Ikea. They are the same as the ones from wickes. Dave

Re: How many T5's ?Easylife Paradiso 120 Was also looking at the Easylife paradiso 120cm dimmable (6 x 54w plus 4 x 3.5w LEDS). But since the tank is 150cm long would I get enough light to each end? Dave

Hi, Thinking of changing my lighting. At present I Have two 80MV bulbs and one 13w LED over my 60" L x 20" W x 24" H aquarium. It contains mostly a HC carpet, V Nana and E Parvula + a few other plants that are less light demanding than the HC and I use pressurized CO2. My question is if I...

Things are on the up. My EvoLux bulb arrived today. First impression is wow! It is bright. The 'eye test' was it was as nearly as bright as my MV set at 80w, brighter than a 60w incandescent standard bulb. I put one of each in my bresslein reflectors next to each other to get a side by side...

Right my experiments are not going well. So...... My attention has turned to LED. This is what I am looking at http://www.electricity-monitor.com/evol ... -p-89.html Now these are getting good reviews. Just ordered one to try. If it does not work out I can use it in my study ceiling light...

If this is being brought in to force I cannot see how a 125w MV bulb will reach a cat C rating. Therefore will not be available after 1st Sept 09. IMO Dave

This is what I have found out so far: 'Frosted bulbs banned from 1st September 2009 Once the Directive is in force and existing stocks have been exhausted, retailers in the EU will no longer be able to supply bulbs with a frosted, opal, pearl or other opaque finish unless they are category A...

Food for thought. Well I dont really believe that the manufacturers claims about how much a energy saving bulb is equivalent to but thought it might be worth experimenting with. The only way of knowing how much light they give off in comparison to MV is to measure the par. Milla I think you may...

Interesting thanks JamesC. Going to try different ones. Thanks for sharing your experience. It is going to be trial and error! Will take a look at them milla, but think it might be defeating the object ie. lower power usage, heat etc, Cheers Dave

Thank guys for the responses. Much appreciated. Going to do some more experimenting with them. Will post up my findings. Right where can i get a par meter from?! Dave

Hi, Firstly I would like to say hello to everyone on the forum. This is my first post. I am about to set up my first freshwater aquarium. My background is 5 years of reef keeping. I am now setting up a planted discus aquarium. I have been deliberating over how to light my new aquarium (a Wave...
