SBB- Father’s Day Clearance Coral sale!

[VintageReefer]

Arguably can’t beat this for form factor

And you can use it as a shelf

And has built in remote stand

 

[ryshark]

Or height. I use the reefis and love them. Very small form factor, tons of power, top tier spectrum, half the price of a radion, 3 year warranty, multiple lenses to choose from.

Yep. Reefi is the best of that size light all around imo. Price wise the icon is comparable to the xr30 buts it's even less $ and xr30 can't compete with an icon

Is there a plug and play way to mount something like AI Blades to them, if need more coverage in the future? Or need to get creative

Andrew - did you get anything from the booth?

 

[VintageReefer]

Furthermore...most of the pros use radions because that's what they have used forever. Radion was head and shoulders above the game in led lights when led became a thing. Now? There are plenty of options for leds that are just as good and better.

I was reefing with halides when led came out, I was an early supporter of them and have used over a decade.

Fully aware the radion is overpriced and underpowered and as new ones came out, blending improved but par dropped.

Know there are equal or better options also.

But, all the pros use them and have great results so they obviously work. I’m considering buying radions for my build just because I’m curious what the hype is about.

Also know the reefi is probably the best of the best. Very curious about this guy even if the interface is from 1990

Noopsyche k7 pro III has my interest as well

I have a photon 48 v1 in my closet

I’d buy another photon 48v2 in a heartbeat but I feel like I want something different

Not sure. With all the 3d printing available these days I don't see why not

fwiw I'm pulling better color than most "pros" with black boxes.

Edit...so the hype is just that.....hype.

 

[VintageReefer]

fwiw I'm pulling better color than most "pros" with black boxes.

I don’t feel like I have any color issues. I’m more curious. Maybe I’ll throw an xr30 on one side and a reefi or noop on the other. And then compare to my current photon v2 on my main display.

And on the new one decide if I like radion or reefi or whatever better, sell the one I don’t like, and buy a matching second fixture

The photons are fine. They will all pull color if you have your chemistry and flow right. What I'm saying is...the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I can pull all those colors with black boxes...sooo.....

 

[VintageReefer]

I’m beyond pros anyway

I’m just bored and curious and have a new tank to setup and opportunity to gain more experience

What black box are you using ? Viparspectra ? Who even makes them still. SBreef is gone.

Who knows...mine are the old 300s. Mu point is..it ain't the light...it's the person in control of the tank

Andrew - did you get anything from the booth?

Just a wish list for the next sale. I don’t want corals sitting in a bag in a hotel room for a couple days lol

So where are the pics ANDREW!!!

 

[VintageReefer]

Anyone attend and bring a orange clip on lens filter we can SEE what they see?

Didn’t have mine but I’ll say the pics on the site are pretty accurate to what they look like in person. But again, the Lorax. Puts green flash and hologram to shame

In what color?

I saw orange glasses all over the SBB booth, they would work fine as an orange clip. I thought Andrew would’ve posted a pic of the Lorax.

@ryshark join the FB group, daniel is extremely responsive and its a decent community. Unsure what options there are but considering the standard mounting is extruded aluminum and 3d printed adapters, id say youll need a custom solution.

Just saw this after typing my last post

 

[VintageReefer]

Since we aren’t getting booth pics I’ll have to spam more of mine to holdover until someone posts pics for the event that most of us can’t attend

It’s not hard! I just took these. Someone has to be there representing us remote fans and giving us pics
