The Vertex illumina club

hey guys lets have a thread show casing tanks that run on the vertex illumina, please add what unit you got and give a before and after if possible and also growth pics especially of sps and colour progres.. Thanks guys

 

Here is my badboy the illumina sr360 300mm with a added multipad for a perfect full spectrum led. Tank not up and running yet.. Where are the rest?

@mariusmeyer

 

@Shaun88

 

I know this tank......

 

Me too. Carlosf???

 

I use the 1500mm SR260 stock standard at this stage. Planning on adding 2 or 3 multi pads in the future.

This was the day I started with the illumina



And after running them for a year



So far I am exceptionally happy with the unit. If I take bulb replacements and electricity savings into account then this unit saved me around R7500 over the last 12 months. Still some time before the unit will have paid for itself but it definitely will.

 

amazing @mariusmeyer

 

I love this tank.... you people should see this tank in real life... its stunning..
Thanks for the pic @mariusmeyer

 

bump

we cant only have one amazing tank running with these lights

 

Wanna bet Carlosf, the lights are expensive, and there are cheaper options.

 

haha says the one with a pacific sun lol, i know there are alot of okes that are running these lights and would like to see sps colour and growth

 

You want to see SPS colour hey? I will take a pic tonight of an encrusting monti coral some blokes abandoned at my place. Also being kept under a illumina in my frag tank. Not a bad looking coral now that its not brown anymore.

 

@mariusmeyer lol pics are always beter lol.. You should tell that bloke he has a sucky radion lol

 

My tank running on two illumina`s sr 200 from 12 54W t5 light unit.

 

Looking awesome @Nippy. I think I need to come past and thin out some of those rics. They look crowded.

 

wow @Nippy awsm tank how you liking your light so far

 

@mariusmeyer, how you buddy,anytime, they doing very well under the leds, @Abc, thanks buddy, lights are great, very strong, had to set it lower.

 

damn if you had to set your sr200 lower then my sr360 is gonna kill my 35cm deep tank
