Echoreef's 250 Gallon Upgrade

Nice where did u order the light from...

The only place you can order them is at www.pacificsunusa.com. They normally have to ship them from Poland but Yorgos who is the U.S rep have some in stocks right now. The light is not well known in the U.S. but is gaining momentum.

You mean for updating the firmware and software? I just used the build in blue tooth on the laptop to update everything. The light is already wireless. They do recommend an external blue tooth for firmware updates, but I just placed the laptop right on top of the lamp and it worked.

I don't think I will be changing out the 4 T5 bulbs but once every 18 months. It's only on for 6 hours a day and LED takes care of the rest. Bali sun light program goes on from 8:00 AM and set at 8:20 PM. They are trying to mimic the natural light setting of the shallow reefs in Bali. I was sold on the product when I read that they send out a team to Bali to take lighting measurement at various depth in Bali and incorporate that into the lighting. If I would have gone with ATI hybrid, it would be the 8 bulbs 80w combo with LED. That means changing 8 bulbs out every 12 months. Too much money involved in buying new bulbs. Plus the Pac Sun is not as wide and bulky as the ATI hybrid. I have room in the front and back of the lamp to do maintenance.

They just have the windows and mac version. No phone or tablet that I'm aware of.

Here are some pictures of the corals. Should be nice once they grow out and color up more.

Thanks. I almost feel guilty that I am not doing half the work that I used to do with maintenance on the 120. Water change is automated. Apex controller is doing all the little things for me. I don't even test my water anymore like I used to do once every few weeks. I just look at the corals and if they are happy, I don't test.

Wow that's awesome you need to post a video on how the water change works

New addition. I am removing the emperor angelfish to make room. I hope my wife never finds out how much I paid for this guy.

From Divers Den:


Here it is still inside the box. The bag must of had 10 gallon of water in there. It feels like a small tank being deliver to my house. Super heavy.


Into QT for a few weeks.

Bandit angelfish. Been looking for one for a while. It's hard to get one that is small. This one is just a little over 3".

Thanks for tour of the tank Eric, and thanks for the Emperor. She ate a huge sheet of nori this morning and looks happy.
That system you set up gave me lots of good ideas for how to improve my own.
and that Bandit angel is so awesome!
Thanks again
