If they work out on the planted tanks, I want to put them on my vivariums as well. That's where I ran into the heat issue with BML -- I just tried one of their original series 10K planted to replace a DIY fixture (heat sink & crees) on one of my viv racks, and mounted at the same height over the vivs (about 3") temps went up about 3 degrees with the BML fixture. It was the top shelf on this rack, so I was able to raise it another 3", but I'm going to need to add cooling fans to use these on any of my lower shelves. Love the color rendition though. Be interesting to see how the plants (mostly broms and orchids) react. Frogs as usual could care lessI will likely be using them in my vivariums. I don't think the satellite + had a "resume" feature did it? ...So you had to reset it back to whatever mode you had it on. Nor did it have the sunrise/sunset with automated transition to moonlight.
I'm jealous of you guys. I'm buying frogs, so It will probably be a month or more till I can order one :icon_cry: :drool:Got my shipping notice a bit ago too. Woot!
Thanks for the mention Wintu! Always thankful for spreading the wordhey guys nice deals on the new fixture http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=654569
Those are some pretty good prices.
Hope you love the light as well. Let us or Ecoxotic know!Thanks for the heads up on the sale. Just ordered a 36 inch fixture for my 50 gallon.
The Ecoxotic E-Series has a remote control that you can adjust each LED color setting and save it. It also has a 24 hour cycle dimmer LED control box compared to the Current USA satellite Freshwater LED Plus. Here is a spec sheet of the Ecoxotic E-seriesDoes this light have a dimmer option?
I think that may fall into the 'cost a fortune' category I'd be happy with something like the Ecoxotic + a Lightning Effects system (like the Firefly) that could be triggered from an Apex. I'd like to be able to cover something like 40 linear feet of vivariums, so the cheaper the better.I'd like to see it all getting more integrated, preferably without it costing a fortune. I'm in the process of building a new "conservatory" (frog room ) and would love to have a scheduled / on demand thunderstorm, integrating viv lighting, strobes behind the racks, audio and foggers. All of the component parts are available, but getting them all to happen from a single trigger would be a pain.
Do you mean like this?
