    Superman's Light Upgrade for Vision 180

    Re: Lighting Upgrade to Luminaire (Blau Lumina) Mate, you need to speak to BeBea (Zoe) about her dealings with Living Seas. Let's just say I won't be ordering from them anytime soon - worth a pm to her to get details of her experience before you make your mind up and shell out...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Would I recommend it? Yes, definitely. I have doubled my lighting, not to mention the fact that the tank looks more stylish (as long as you ignore the contents lol). Afraid I can't comment on the actual bulbs supplied - I mean they look great and the colour of the inhabitants look better but...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Thanks mate! I would love to run an external filter etc on that, but it's not practical where it lives (on a sideboard) and OH is dead against the sideboard being 'modified' for filter hoses which would be a must. Bear in mind if you ever get married that "compromise" can sometimes be the bain...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    The tank itself is in need of a little (read a lot!) of TLC, but the luminaire looks great imo. Not sure how the moss growing out of the water will do without the condensation keeping it going, but hey ho!

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Well it's here! It fits - only just. It could probably do with a millimetre or two extra for comfort, but it does fit. We had to loosen the screws holding it by a turn or so, but it still has a firm hold and I'm fairly happy. I'm not altogether impressed at the supporting legs though - I...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    This is essentially the problem. I wish I knew the answer - don't suppose you're able to find anyone with a similar sized tank since the sizes you're talking about seem a bit more common than the one I'm on about?

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Will do. It would have been nice for Arcadia to have drawn a similar diagram to that Chinese one Lisa kindly posted!

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    But it says that it extends to 47cm max and my tank is 50cm?

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Lisa, thanks so much for those links :D First one looked cool, if a bit dear :shock: but I think I may go with the second one if the Arcadia doesn't work out. I didn't realise that it was available. Although I like the look of the price of the third, I think that you're right - it would be...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Grrr! Have just spoken to Charterhouse and they've said that Arcadia *may* have stopped making the 18" T8 version, but they're waiting for a call back from the supplier. I'll be so gutted if they don't have this in stock for me, as it seems the only viable shop-bought luminaire small enough...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    I've been impulsive and ordered. I'll be holding onto my Charterhouse email in the event that I need to return it (and they try and deduct the original carriage charge from the refund, as their site implies they will on cancelled orders :twisted: ).

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Thanks guys :) I emailed Arcadia yesterday and will let you know what their response is. Charterhouse made the mistake of emailing me to find out why I didn't complete my order (I'd a pile of Eheim spares in my basket when I came across the luminaire) and they have replied to say that the legs...

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Cheers Aaron. OH had already said "no overhang - that would just look stupid!" :roll: It's the ones at Charterhouse I'm looking at atm.

    Arcadia 18" luminaire - maximum size tank?

    Evening all! The light on my Elite 35 tank has just failed. Hopefully it is just the tube (although I suspect the ballast which is in a sealed unit), but OH has suggested that I take the opportunity and upgrade to an overhead luminaire - I'm doing a little dance as I type this :D The tank...

    T6 lighting in a Jewel light unit.

    Interesting thought - let me know how you get on with the seller as I might copy you :D If they don't fit your lighting though and if I haven't sold my single T6 tube, you can have my single brushing set (was only given one set to test out on the tank). Thinking on it, it could be that the...

    T6 lighting in a Jewel light unit.

    Well for anybody who has a Cleair tank (few and far between I know) these brushing sets don't work. They're too thick to allow the waterproof cover to screw back on. Anybody want a 36" Spectrum grow tube plus brushing set? :roll:
