Thanks to everyone that helped organize today's lighting workshop its was a good sized turn out! Its always good to see everyone, answer questions, and just hang out in general. If I didn't get a chance to get back to anyone while going over LED questions, I apologize, I didn't think I'd get that many questions.

Also, thanks to MARSH for getting that PAR meter it was a great tool to be able to compare the light output of all the different types of light over the monster tank at ADG. Trung, I hope you got pictures!

hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week end and you all have a great mothers day!

Thank you Gabe. While I couldnt be at the work shop today I wanted to say thank you to Gabe for putting the light together for me and deeply thank whoever the generous benefactor was. I greatly appreciate it. I was able to see the light over my tank for just a second this afternoon. It looks wonderful.

We have to build brackets of some sort in the canopy to hold it up so pictures will have to wait. But I am so happy with this new light and couldnt be more grateful.

MARSH is truly a wonderful club with wonderful and generous people.

Very interesting especially to see the different units pars on the 30" deep tank.

 

[gabe_j]

dude i still can't believe how much par a 400W mh throws down lol.

 

[Tnconcept]

What was the par number for the 400mh?

 

[merkurmaniac]

I left all of the measurements with Ray so that he can post them.

 

[Tnconcept]

Oh ok, did you guys use the sun or electric setting? I ran 250mh vs 100w LED, the LED was even out in numbers.

 

[gabe_j]

what do you mean?

 

[soymilk]

I'll post up the numbers after I take a nap lol, just got home from work. Thanks to everyone

 

[Tnconcept]

what do you mean?

There are two setting on the par meter...

 

[ModAquatics]

Sounds like it was a great turnout. I wish that I could have made it. Perhaps next time.

 

[Mark L.]

Definitely a great turn out. Good to see everyone and officially meet you Gabe. You definitely gave me somethings to think about with my new build.

It was electric. The 250w Radium on the ADG big tank at the bottom, was around 450, the 20k XM 400w at the bottom was around 550. Too bad we couldnt get the 400w Radium to fire on the magnetic ballast.

 

[Tnconcept]

Wow 550 at sand bed? Talking about getting a tan..lol those radium still win my money! Thanks for the info guys.

The PAR measurements were all taken about 2' under the water line.

 

[below radar]

...Not to mention the MH were the same distance from the water as the LEDs. Aren't MH supposed to be higher?

 

[SuperRay]

I left all of the measurements with Ray so that he can post them.

Trung (Soymilk) has those and will post the measurements.

 

[Diesel]

Nice meeting, and about all the numbers..................they got all mixed up in my mind, PAR vs $$$ they were all high but my vote will go to LED's
