Totally agree with mark and trevah on the plant bulb. I put one on my 55 because it was just "too blue" and I love the look. I know the reef in the wild is very blue below certain depth but divers carry bright lights to restore some of the color. ]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2004 07:38:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=18106&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#18106 <![CDATA[IceCap 660 & Regular lamps? : Trevah wrote:...still need...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=18092&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#18092 Author: Mark Peterson

I'll bring "old blue" to the meeting, unless there is a way to get it to you sooner.

Anyone heading from SLC to Logan?

Oh and when the plant tube is placed toward the front of the tank, is does it's best job of highlighting colors.

Here is a link....to be honest I would buy the 660 over the 430 because you can run 1 more 48" than the 430 and you can use the dimmer with the higher loads on the 660....but I guess it's not that big of a deal anyhow here is a link to the bulb specs...http://www.icecapinc.com/flapp.htm]]> Tue, 17 Feb 2004 08:30:29 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17875&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17875 <![CDATA[IceCap 660 & Regular lamps? : thanks Trevor ... very cool!this...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17860&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17860 Author: coreyk

thanks Trevor ... very cool! this seems like a very nice alternative to PC or VHO ... how many bulbs can you run on the 430? how about the 660?]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 23:53:36 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17860&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17860 <![CDATA[IceCap 660 & Regular lamps? : ok... i feel like my tank is doing...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17859&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17859 Author: Trevah

ok...
i feel like my tank is doing great...
i have lost a clown due to ich...but not light related
in comparison to my other tanks this one seems to have be growing coraline algae faster than my 30 gallon with the 175w MH that is 20k...too soon to tell with my 20 gallon with the pc...
now color...i definetely like the 20k MH better but I need to put an actinic in...but apart from that the color is still really good....being around it all the time makes it hard to be a good critic...maybe Torghn or Leviwin can chime in and say what they think...but they haven't seen it with the Plant Bulb...

Plant Bulb - no idea on color (the shade is between pink and orange )
Verilux - Mark?? It says it's full spectrum but I don't think it is as white as the typical 10k...prolly around 8k as it is a tad bit whiter than the daylight deluxe...
Daylight Deluxe-6.4k as per the manufacturer...I don't believe overdriving it causes a change in the color...

really nice! thanks for sharing!

OK now for a slew of questions!!!

do you feel like your tank is doing well? 
do you feel like everything is healthy?
have you noticed any differences in the "progress" of your tank VS. other types of lights ( VHO, PC, MH )?
how is your coralline algae growth?
what is the overall color of the lighting in your tank?
what are the colors that each those bulbs put out?

whew! thanks!

quix, most of the LFSs in the area carry them.  I'm pretty sure I've seen them at MSM, BW, F4U and the Aquarium... so north to south, I think your covered.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2004 16:28:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17003&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17003 <![CDATA[IceCap 660 & Regular lamps? : i was just wondering about this...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1442&PID=17002&title=icecap-660-regular-lamps#17002 Author: coreyk
