TheClark Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Just curious, I really like the new IT5102 evergrow platform and the cree/osram led combos along with the six channels. However, results speak better than technology, curious if anyone local has tried them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I have the 48" over my 75g and the 24" over my 40b. They rule. SPS grows very quickly under them and the colors are pretty good. Anything specific I can answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what schedule / intensities do you run? Have any good full tank shots to demo how they have done for your tank? What did you run before these guys? Much appreciated!

youcallmenny Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Reefbreeders offers an excel file to input your channel maxes and it programs a 12 hour schedule. Here is the excel file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2oeqzxvn3ybnew/TankTable.xlsx My maxes are: Hour to start lights 8:00 Max Channel 1 Intensity 40 Max Channel 2 Intensity 40 Max Channel 3 Intensity 80 Max Channel 4 Intensity 60 Max Channel 5 Intensity 80 Max Channel 6 Intensity 75 I'll post a tank shot tomorrow when everything is awake. I've only had a couple months of smooth sailing so nothing too crazy yet but the daily growth is noticeable on sps. I ran chinese black box LED's prior to these. It didn't go too well and didn't look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Eh, not really. Takes a lot of purple. It's blue around morning and night but a nice natural color through the middle of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) My 1300 settings. It gets a tiny bit brighter at 1400 but this is more or less the peak of the day. Edited November 10, 2016 by youcallmenny 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
