Update pic (Big trim)
this tank could quite definitely come to an ends very soon due to water parameters at the location we are moving to.
thank you,You sure you don’t want to give the local water in Arkansas a go @DutchMuch ? Was thinking about the days I used to do RO after the convo we had in your other post. It’s a PITA compared to using tap water.
Sorry to hear about your Ember’s btw
Thank you i appreciate itWonderful pictures! Is the agrobrite dimmable? I noticed the fixture is in fact bigger than your tank, and very bright! What's your photoperiod?
interesting, never heard of that being a thing. cool.I use the water collected from our dehumidifier (dries the washing every night in winter months) to soften water and make up ferts. Gathers 25-30 litres per week on average.
Not sure about the climate in Arkansas throughout the year @DutchMuch but could be another way of gathering some purified water. I suppose in the States you’ll just be using a dryer though.
Thank you i appreciate it
Agrobrite far as i know is Not dimmable (im sure some techy can make it dimmable though) but i dont think you'd really wanna dim it anyway. Its pretty expensive so i would rather than dimming it to only get 1/2 its potential instead buy a lower tech light if thats what your looking for.
Yea the fixture has a in total 6" overhand or so, maybe more im just guessing.
Me and burr (forget his real name) about a year ago did some math to mathematically Assume what the par at substrate level was and it was over 150-200 at the time. Now i've since switched the bulbs out and replaced them so im not sure.
Photoperiod is 8 hours
Hope this helped
go for it, the reason i got a large one like this is because if i do decide to upgrade, then i can still use it with the possibility of not having to buy another light fixture.It's also hung quite high from the water surface from what I can tell from your pictures. I think I will go for the 4ft 4-tube version for my 200gal, it's only £150

The other reason is because the customizability of the bulbs.
And the last reason is because if i want to downsize then i can have a smaller tank, and a cool emersed setup next to it for example. Its a very great light i recommend it.
p.s. i think its around 1ft from my tanks surface
if its one thing i will never buy in this hobby ever againOne more question, what's your co2 bubble rate and diffusion method? Still using the inline atomizer?
That eheim skim is really good at killing nano species...sorry for your loss
