FarmerTy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 It begins! The FarmerTy LED era! I swapped out the left MH with a Ocean Revive Artic T247 fixture. LED-lit side: MH-lit side: Both together: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Aw man! I just wrote a bunch of thoughtful insights and observations and Tapatalk lost it all! Abridged version: I matched the spectral quality and estimated par to about the same as the MH that it replaced. Pros: cool to the touch, color reproduction good (purples were better) Cons: blue tint in all photos, slight disco effect in shadows... nothing crazy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena95GT Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yes Ty, welcome to the dark side. Or the light side I guess I should say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 How about more slightly dim/bluer tint side? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 From the photos I would say the match is really closeIt's not too far off but a little bluer than I like. I'll aim to do my best to match the color spectrum as my corals adjust to the LED light.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 can you seen the green or red on the sandbed? we was looking at these too but it sounds like you see colord spots on the bottom. mine would be kinda close to the surface as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 My fixture is about 9" off the water and 34" to the sandbed. The disco effect isn't really pronounced at all. I only noticed it because I'm used to just pure light from the MH bulbs. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I like it. The royal Blues and 420nm violets really bring out the cartoon colors even with the daytime setting. I generally like a whiter look on the channel balance than most led users do. I imagine the colors will shift in time but Vu's acros all look amazing under those lights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Oh what could be in the QT? I'll give you a hint... there are 2 fishes.
