[ Tranquility ] NA 120x50x55 High tech

I emailed Aquasabi enquiring about what lights I'd need for my tank and this is the email sent back to me.

Do I really need two of them for my tank???? Also the one on the site has the white red and blue clusters, is that also suitable.

Thanks.

In first place I needed also 2 they say and a other Web store also say that I need 2...till now my plants growing like crazy and a got also pearling plants...so I will say 1 is good enough. .I got also the white blue red version it's around 7500 lumen...so I will say take 1 if you like the light;)..
Ps we don't need 15000 lumen for a planted tank

Your post just got 3 likes so I'm thinking you're spot on with that advice. Thanks, seeing how good yours is doing on 1 lamp has me convinced.
So to recap I need one unit, the power adapter, led controller. And what wiring do I need to get?

Thanks..
so i purchased ....

Ultra Blue Red White - 120.6
cluster Cable Suspension Kit for 1 lamp thats what i did... hanging
daytime - adapterline - socket on cable-end sleeve - cluster control
daytime adaptorline plug on cable-end sleeve
daytime LED-Converter 12V 60 watt
LED computer tc420
 
I just got an email from them saying

"Please note that cluster CONTROL is not the same as cluster. cluster CONTROL can not be operated without any dimm-computer"

By dimm-computer do they mean the LED computer tc420?

Yes... you need the tc420...or a other one...but the tc420 is the cheapest and still really good...
You get a simple computer program on your pc to program the tc... it's really simple ;)
 
Aquasabi don't seem to stock the tc420 anymore. They do have the sc16 but it's over 300 euro. yikes!!

I see the tc420 on eBay for around 20 euro. Being shipped from China so that's a big NO for me.

Here you can buy the controller...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Programmable-Controller-5Channel-Output-Lighting/dp/B01MXJC1UA
Check if that will work for you...if not...
Send me your email adres whit your address to revs14000@Hotmail.com...
I will buy the computer for you and send him to you...after you receive the computer ...then you can pay me:thumbup:
There is a big company here in the Netherlands specialising in aquascaping where I buy a lot...and I know the guy good...he will test the tc420 first because there was a big number of tc420 with fault in the software...like my first tc...so he will test it first and then send it...
If you want I can do it for you or get contact whit wilco thats his name and the company name is azaqua.nl...and ask maybe he will send it to you....if not...I do it for you:)
 
I was emailing Aquasabi in relation to the daytime cluster control par readings. They just told me that they contacted the company who were unable to provide par readings for the unit.
This seems very strange to me and I'm left wondering have they something to hide. Disappointed now as I was about to pull the trigger on it.

We are one and a half months further.
The aquarium is going well and is well stable.
Just not satisfied with one thing, ...Hydrocotyle cf. tripartita
.
I was aware that it's a fast growing plant ...
Only this is too fast and dominates too much.

Question 1
Which plant will be a good replacement that stays lower

Question 2
When I get the plants out of the soil I'm afraid I get an increase of nutrients ...NO2?
How will you guys take out the plants.
Every day a little piece..and not all at once?

Enjoy your opinion and ideas about it.
Thanks

I would just remove all the tripartita and plant something else, perhaps Eleocharis Parvula (Dwarf Hairgrass), or Crypt Parva or both for some nice texture contrast, could even try mix in / attached some weeping moss, the moss spilling down the rocks could look cool.
