2nd that all day long even on a Sunday!

Nil

Oh man!! I'm gonna be spending some money this weekend haha! I bet it would be pretty easy to have some sheets cut and made to look like the ADA lights. Not thing i would say is be careful as as they are these items are not the correct IP rating to be used over tanks. So take care when fixing...

Looks really smart too, wounded how much difference the water makes in the reading. Surely there must be a equations for working Par from lumens.

I guess so. There would be a decent deposit left that you wouldn't get back if the machine was broken. Just an idea I guess

Price is a factor. I'm just working out if I could buy one and loan it out to Members. Not sure if its a good idea. The idea is that I rent it out for so much a week, you pay postage back and forth and also a deposit. Is only allow this to happen to members that have been joined for a certain...

Hello Id like your opinions and recommendations on a decent par meter pllllllease :)

A certain post count or amount of time you've been here would mean u qualify to borrow it. You pay postage each way and a decent deposit :/ could work ....maybe haha

We need a ukaps par meter!! You pay a deposit and get it back when the meter is retuned to an admin!! Only reason I mentioned a 400d is I guess it would be the 'proper' led light to use over a 30cm cube

Cheers whitey. Do we know a par for the TMC 400d tile?

Nice one mate. Where did you get your metre from? Is that decent par then? I'm unaware as what is regarded as 'high par' :( Didn't know that about the foreign socket dealio, makes sense I guess.

Hello mate hope your well :) Cheers for that input, I do like the sounds of the warranty haha. Heat is a big deal aswell. As with my rock solid water leaving bags of scum behind I on the glass as it evaporates :( What size tank are you using? Plants ect ?

Would love to see a more indepth walk trough of your LED DIY build mate. Would you start a new thread?

See I think there both fairly ugly. I think either way I would modify the light to it into some kind of hood that I could hang, like a make shift ADA solar looking item with the LED unit inside. For now the ease of the Arcadia is selling it. I wonder if you can use them at a certain % like the...

Hello guys Considering a new light for my 30l fluval shrimp tank. The options are either this or a TMC mini 400. I know the TMC tiles are way more popular but the Arcadia is well priced. And the only LED unit (to date) that TGM recommend. So thought please people

Hmmm I was going to say he was a very 'odd' scaper haha. Didn't think much of his style tbh. There's tons of people on here with much better portfolios then him.... He just marketed him self well i guess.

@garuf - I didn't know he was doing stuff with them, his thumbs up pic on the front of the bag will go down in history for sure! @sam - that's cheap! I wonder I you did like 80quid on them and built a nicelittle enclosure if they would be regarded as 'good' or 'high' light? With the tmc...

I'm not sure if this is the exact one Oliver knots did but came up after a little look around. Off topic, but I never seem to see any Oliver knots stuff in stores or journals any more :/ did he ever bring out his own fertilisers?

Cheers for the input Gmartin light does look good, is that a mega small tank or huge light and filter haha! Been offered an 18w superfish so will most likely go with that :) Cheers for the help guys

Yeh single 18 would be good, that's a superfish model right? Whose a supplier of those? You think that amount of light is ok? Co2 ferts and flow are ok so 18w should be cool right?

Cheers garuf. I'm still a little tempted, where all clip on you see the same type, as in plant pro? They do a few different lamp variations, I wonder if that might have been it? The price is OK, I really want 22w over my 30 as opposed to 11w and would much prefer just the one timer on instead...

Anyone go experience with this light? Quality and also colour of light, it shows a pink and a white bulb, least thing I want is a something that grows plants but looks as pants as the arc pods. Any input much appreciated.

I was doing LUX equations in college yesterday and was meant to ask if there was an equation I could use to work out PAR from LUX. You can work out the LUX fairly easy from candela (spelling) ....I think, haha. it's wrote down in my book at home ill have a look, there must be an easy way with...

Where did you get the light?

Whoa whoa whoa...share the find buddy :) Where did you get it from?

Where did you get it? How much

If you was to go for the 3x8w unit can you turn each bulb on individually? So you can back off on lamp if it's to much light. Let me know if you do go for the eBay light, I'd be iterested in the 11w you would he replacing. Cheers

22w * from 2x11w arc pods :) That would be enough light, but ruins the looks of the tank, beat one would be the eBay light and DIY a hanging kit for it, or do a complete DIY jobbie? The arc pods pink light look naff aswell after you use a decent light. Plus out of the few I've had te Chrome...

Wow!! That's wild, i can just about resist buyin the p@h plants when I see them, imagine walking into a place like that after payday! Stunning pictures viktor as interesting discussion.

Any idea where to get spare bulbs?

I've thought this aswell. Will be too to hear the answer.

Hello mate. My 18w is 30cm from clip on the glass to edge of unit, you can swivel it round 180 so it doesn't stick out as much and have the clip other way around. I know thinks the 18w but hey lol

Cheers Dan, didn't realise it was a oner to replace the bulbs! The 1st pic the light actually doesn't look to bad, and I'm sure therell besome being produced with aesthetics in mind in the near future, depends on you taste I suppose. Sorry to keep touching on ADA haha but I wonder what they...

Hc in in inert sand :) quitcha bragging haha ;) Plunket, marketing reasons, ADA don't sell a LED unit?

Your have a solar one! Maaaan I want one! They look so fresh! how noticeable is it on the elec? How long do bulbs last ect?

Plus ada don't sell a LED unit.... Sin bin or naughty step?? Haha George grew plants with them, and well too! Being the leading UK plant people they kniow there stuff so I'm sure its justified, and if there not happy with LED's then why sell them, its good work ethics I spose.

LOL!!! I have a lot of time for that post haha

That is pretty good, I think I paid close to £30 for my aquasoil haha. Too bad about the cold, next time aye 8) Ryan

trip from Japan aye?? :) did you visit the ada gallery? and if you dont mind me asking how much was the light buying it direct in japan? thanks mate hope it was a good trip

http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/p ... 188141.php something like that? just change the marine light right? :)

Hello mate How much flow are you getting from your filter? from what ive read on the forum if you up the light this also means upping pretty much everything, such as flow (unless you have a pretty good flow rate already) as well as nutrients and switching to Pressurized Co2. Im sure if Ceg...

Hey garuf, don't quite understand PAR value's lol but it comes with a brand new 1400k bulb. I'm half tempted to get it and save it for another time. That's unless you live in Lincolnshire(spelling) and want it I can pm you the link?

:lol: golly gee wizz ! I saved myself from my self haha

I've been thinking about this and I know and an answer like this will pop up, More light means more co2 and fert meaning more flow, so its not just 20 for the light, I'd also have to up my flow so either another filter or internal pump, also replace co2 bottle more often and go through ferts...

hi im currently running hagen glo light unit over my 60x35x30cm 2x24w, flow is an eheim 2224 with spraybar and soon to be using ada ferts currently ferka products and easy carbo, diy co2 but back to pressurized once i order another bottle :roll: right dont know how helpfull that information...
