I see you went with the blue & white combo lights, are they evenly (50:50) distributed? What is the spectral out-put of the 2 kinds of LEDs in your fixture, is it comparable to the Aquatic Life 24" 10, 000K/460nm lights (15-10K & 15-blue LEDs) that I stuck over my refugium? see:
Aquatic Life

It is a mix of cool white, royal blue, and blue. I can get anywhere between 10k - 20k since I can adjust each channel separately. 2 blues to each white. Here is the color spectrum of my lights. It is the super blue graph. AI Sol - Performance

This thing is amazing, unfortunately it is hard to get good pictures with my camera but here are a quick few for the time being.

Are you keeping any kind of documentation Kelan, if not, can you please start? and keep an pic file too. I wanna see some good results, and the paper to prove it

Am I keep documentation??? LOL yes of course. I will keep notes on intensity and photo period and I will start keeping dated files of pictures. Any other info that you would be interested in me logging?

Hey, I had to ask kelan, I knew better but every time lately I assume something it bites me back in the a**.

I can't really think of anything else, and it will give you good records for one of the Missoula club meetings.

As of Nov 2010?

 

[CarlaW]

I bought a new kit in November from Aquatic Dreams so I have the new stuff.

 

[dsmhero]

Yes as of Nov, 2010 but the kits Dan has are the old ones still, which is why I brought it up. If you are using 4 drops of dye, that is the new instructions.

 

[CarlaW]

got a big thumbs up there

 

[DevonM]

I think it's funny that's over a year ago.
