So just a couple pics.
This is the fixture at 45% white and 50% colours. http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...ps49ae157b.jpg Here is 75% and 80% /http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...psf9b8d6c2.jpg http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9ca11085.jpg And my stupid simple mounting system http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...psa77e2d17.jpg http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...ps98688438.jpg |

I only run my A8 at about 30% over my 36" tank. Its not as high as some people hang their lights either. I imagine I could get a larger spread if I lifted the light up higher, and would still have lots of power to turn the lights up higher.
I started it at 5-10% then slowly turned both colours up... then kinda forgot about doing that, and its been left at 30% ever since (been up over a year now) and since everything growing like weeds on steroids I feel no need to turn it up any higher. My colour selection is posted on page 2 or 3 of this topic... I picked them because that's what "I" wanted. The only algae I have overgrowing in my tank is bubble... and coralline :| This is one of the pics I took last year with the blues hiked to 100%, whites off, probably wrong camera settings. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...SW/blue100.jpg |

Here is a nice video of a guy hanging a 2060 over a 36" tank though. And it seems to definitely do the job. ► 2:27► 2:27 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLXKq0i9CHw Nov 17, 2013 - Uploaded by johnnytsanggti Just got my it2060 and this is first time switching on!!!what a light!! Blows my aqua rays away ... |
I have four D120's over my grow out frag tank system and a 2080 over my display. Out of all of them the only light that replaced another light (in this case MH) was the 2080 over my display. The D120's went on new tanks that were not cycled. My display is doing great and I do find that in some of my corals the growth appears a bit different in how it grows with the LED vs the MH but just to a minor extent. In my frag tank it has been a bit of a WIP but primarily because the system needed to cycle. I think moving corals from one light source to another and to a new tank that has have <6 months to stabilize is a major stressor. I have coral that are doing well now in the tank but the exact same coral did not survive once first introduced.

Is there anyone in Calgary or surrounding area that would let me come take a look at there Evergrow lighting set up? I am looking into replacing my T5s with LED's but I like a deep blue color that radions, and mitras cannot make. my tank is 48x18x16 deep.
I like the idea of these lights. I would just like to see them in action first. |
Sure your welcome to check my set up out just send me a pm

I'm still looking for a used IT2080 for my 3ft x 2ft x 2ft height. I used to run a D120 but it was too dark and too blue for my tank so I sold it and replaced it with a 6 bulb Teklight. I'm still curious how this IT2080 would light my tank. So if you have any laying around please give me a shout.

Can't seem to find Nova A8's either. Think they are discontinued.
Was considering 2 customized. Now I see that the IT2012 might just suit my needs for a 60x26x24 tank. Do they output same power as the a8's? Enuf spread to cover tank? Thoughts? Planning to house SOS as well once tank is built. Nick: anyway you can send me the layout of your full spectrum IT2012? Just Pam's you my addy. I hear rumours Evergrow is coming out with a new series of lights soon... |
