I pulled mine to bits and added dual timers:cool:. Ill do a how to in the diy section if anyone is interested.

Hi

I have eco aquas at the moment and was thinking of getting one of these too as my light is a bit dim (even for a low tech low maintenece tank). Just wondered if they give a good ripple effect link the aqua rays?

Cheers Will
 
Don't know what the aquarays are like but yes the arcadias do provide a good shimmer
 
I have an 18w one on a breeding tank (30"x12"x15" h), PAR was very moderate around 30 at the substrate which is fine for most plants. I always get confused over whether having multiple of the same leds would have a cumulative effect or the same. Unfortunately I dont have a larger model to check against. I would assume that the larger models which may be on deeper tanks must be able to maintain PAR of around 30 otherwise I dont see why Arcadia would have put them on market.
 
They just get longer Sanj the led density doesn't change I have a 60 and one of the guys at work has the 90 and I compared them side by side and there was no difference in the size or distance between the leds it's just longer.
 
Thanks a lot guys they look like just the ticket!

I'll give one a whirl...

Cheers

Will

Hi Simon, just wondering if your still using the stretch and if your hairgrass grew with them or with lights you previously had?
