I went for the standard FE route with a JBL inline diffuser. So far plants are adjusting and a lot greener and funnily enough,.. not growing like crazy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How's it going everyone? Just wanted to check in and ask how these lights are performing? I've done change of plants and bought more. Plants popping more than ever. Also setup co2 so hoping to get some good growth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tbh, the light intensity is pretty high so I've had to turn mine down. Haven't run into any algae issues but the plants did melt a little due to the change of conditions. A simple prune to encourage new growth against the new conditions has helped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You only have a static period of an hour at 100%??

My regime: Dawn - 10am - 12pm Sunrise - 12pm - 3pm Sunset - 6pm - 8pm Dusk - 8pm - 10pm So far so good and enjoying the freedom of movement in the tank without the huge ballast in the way. I've even just removed the lids that attach to it and just left it open - not the prettiest site but just...

How's the light doing? I've had to dim the unit to about 70% across white and blue as it was a little to much at 80% So far the plants are holding up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep you can. His a built in dimmer so you control the light intensity between the white and blue LEDs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Charter house for both items. Quick delivery!

I've had to turn down the brightness of the sunrise setting as 100% lights was to much. I'll slowly increase back to 100% over the next few weeks until the plants adapt.

Hi - I'm no expert when it comes to lighting but I am expecting some algae as I've gone from low intensity lights to these. Will be paying close attention to what my plants tell me. I've setup the controller and only took about 10 minutes to get my desired 24hr lighting period. Finally, no...

Just got mine yesterday and set it up on my Lido 120. Never seen so much light and it really brings out (to me) a washed out look. Plants that I thought looked green were rather lighter in colour (that's what happens after 3 years using the same tubes) Got the controller on order and will...

Looks amazing! When you say hi tech are you injecting co2? Wonder how these would fair by doing the low tech EI method

Yeah, would love to see some pictures. Looking to get one for my Lido 120 as my t5 have been going strong for the last 3 years.

I wish I had put money down on this kick starter project. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

Those LED look damn hot! Thanks Rolex! I'll be buying myself a set once the next pay cheque is in!

Was looking at getting these to showcase the tank while friends were around during the lights off period: AquaBlue

@Martin - link is dead. I'm interested too :)

I think it's because it just allows you to direct light in either direction. I have the shortest cut-off against the ballast as I dont want to be blinded every time I open the tank lid.

Ah, I've got the T5 units. I guess those are Juwel bulbs exclusive only.

Don't the Juwel ballest only except Juwel tubes? I never knew you could use Arcadia. Or can you use Arcadia on specific Juwel Aquariums?

Not sure but using a converter 30 psi = 2 bars.
