I have just hung a 24" Giesemann MH/T5 lighting fixture from my drywall ceiling, using two 3" long, 3/16" diameter toggle bolts. I believe each bolt is rated to hold 150 lbs and my fixture weighs 25. Unfortunately I wasn't able to hang the fixture using the studs (and the ceiling is...

I'm transitioning an SPS tank to soft corals/anemones and my Giesemann Aurora is overkill. It's the 48" model with 3 85w LEDs and 4 54w T-5s. Easily the best Reef light I've ever owned. The color, shimmer, usability and power are all top notch. Corals grow like weeds. It's all controllable...

Testing the waters a bit. I just found my mint condition Giesemann Infiniti fixture from back when I had an ELOS tank. This is an Infiniti that was custom built by Giesemann for me, in white. Because it was custom, it cost quite a bit more. I realized I had kept it because I thought if I ever...

Ok let’s get this started. As you can see my Reef Savvy tank has arrived in its fantastic crate! My anticipation for this tank and the build I’m about to embark on has been great to say the least. After a year of planning, lots discussions with Felix at Reef Savvy, and then some hard prep work...

Ok. I know what your thinking, "Another 40b ?" Well me too. I've had nano tanks recenty and a 50 tall some time ago. I just always wanted a 40b. I really like the dimensions. Lots of depth not too tall and 3ft long. Well now I have one and decided to start a thread. Mostly for the journal...

I typically don't ask for advice in anything I do. I like to learn on my own merit, whether it be learning from mistakes or getting lucky the first time. With that being said, I have never owned halides before. I currently have a Giesemann Aurora, which is a T5/LED hybrid. The fixture is...

Hello all. I ended up picking up a bunch of Vervve's during BRS's Black Friday sale - waaaay too good of a deal to pass up on. Anyway the way it worked out the Masters were actually cheaper than the slaves, so I bought 4 of those. I am hoping I can force the other masters into slaves instead...

Hey all, new guy here, long time watcher though haha got a killer deal during black friday at a LFS on a reefer, and I would have liked to go larger, but my apartment will really only allow 55g or smaller so the reefer 250 was perfect. Previously I had an IM 30L, which was sold so most of the...
