kilmca Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 48" ATI SUNPOWER 8 X 54W LIGHT FIXTURE + BULBS - fixture was purchased from Bulk Reef Supply 11/25/15.

Asking $350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Do these have controls so a number of sets of bulbs can be turned on to mimick sunrise/sunset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk i really like the light but i have two of these fixtures and now have a 6' tank so i don't need two of them. i was using two of these over a 10' long tank previously. 57 minutes ago, Zotalpha said: Pm sent!

Arsonmfg Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Tried and true, set it and forget it. if you want to grow beautiful corals this is the easiest way to know your lighting is dialed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabbyCrabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Do you get any bow in the front glass? I'm about to set mine up. Curious how the narrow seams at the sides hold up, narrower than other similar and even smaller tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I have about 1/16" bow in the front glass on my Reefer XL 425, which is the same width as the 350. I contacted Red Sea support and they said it's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) The 425xl has thicker side glass meaning a larger surface area where it meets the front glass. I just worry that those seams are so thin on the 350. My 60 cube has thicker side glass. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I like everything overbuilt. Was thinking of getting some 1/4" glass braces cut that could double as my screen top holder. Want to do a 3 piece top so I can take one out at a time while cleaning as I've got jumpers. A brace on either side of the overflow Edited December 1, 2018 by CrabbyCrabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Does anyone know the side glass thickness on the 350? Red Sea doesn't appear to list side glass thickness in any of their documentation. My XL 425 side glass measures roughly 3/8". I did a Google search and it doesn't appear that seam failure is widely reported on Reefers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I can check tomorrow when I bring it home from storage. In the store it looks thinner, but may be my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabbyCrabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The reefer 450 front glass is 5/8" or whatever that is in metric. Seems like the 425xl should have had the same, imo. I think the reefer 350 is 10mm or 3/8" side glass from the big red Sea forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the XL 425, and this conversation is about the 350, both of which are 4 foot wide tanks. The 350 and 425 are the same width, but the XL 425 is just a little bigger front to back.

CrabbyCrabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 What I was implying is that the 425 glass should have been thicker as the water volume is closer to the 450. Especially if it shows even the slightest of bowing when filled. Seems redsea used the minimum glass thickness with little safety factor, especially at the seams.
