ReefBreeders LED

Has anyone have any experiences with ReefBreeders Leds?im in interested in the Photon36 fixture

I have the "value " over a frag tank and though its pretty new for me, it's very cool

I love my value fixture. Look at the thread they posted not to long ago to see if they are available. The light is great, but it might take weeks to get it fyi.

I have 3 values over my 125, and Its growing corals like crazy. Very pleased. Plus logan does an awesome job with customer service.

I dont know about that exact model but I have two of the Evergrow D120 (same as the Value Fixture) over my 100g and am growing SPS great!

Check that other site. RC. They might be putting a group buy together.

Thx...I was thinking about getting the photon36 for my 90gl cube

 

[exray]

Im interested in them also for a 90 mix. Can u guys post pictures

Over my frag tank. Value fixture no optics, 6" from surface, running at half.

is the value light controllable with the apex?
btw, is that writing on your wall with a magic marker?

On one of their posts they mentioned that they were still looking into controlling the light with an apex. The writing on the closet door is black light paint, good times....why you mentioned that, I dont know lol

the value is not yet controllable, I emailed reefbreeders he said they are working on the driver now.

It looks like the light is dimmed using pots, if thats the case it shouldnt be too hard to wire to the apex vdm.

I saw the writing and it reminded me of the 'Gone in 60 seconds' movie.

Just because it uses potentiometers to dimm doesn't mean it can be controlled by the vdm. The vdm only dimms a 0-10vdc signal. They probably use an analog signal like the maxwellen drivers.

0-10v is an analog signal. You probably mean a digital signal? A potentiometer is basically an adjustable resistor that will limit the amount of current flowing through the circuit. The higher resistance = lower current flow and that means a lower voltage. Lower resistance = higher current and that means a higher voltage.

well seems we have a bunch of electricians here, awesome. Now figure out how I can hook one up to my Apex!

 

[SchnitzelReef]

I doubt u will be able to Juan is right about analog/digital, but ur driver more then likely does not use a 0-10v signal like the vdm needs

group buy anyone?

 

[mark.a.smith405]

I'm in for a group buy

I'm in for a group buy

They just had one on another site that just ended. Maybe they will do the same here. They had to get to 12 units for the price, and 20 units to ship to individual buyers. I got the Photon 16 for $260 shipped. Gotta love a $60 savings.
