Koot Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I decided to go the LED route and after some research, Finnex was the way to go. Especially for the price, the PAR, and the looks. One of the reps is also quite active on plantedtank.net quite a bit, which is great to see from a consumer point of view. I also liked that they carry a 30" model. If you have a 29 gallon, you know that 30" is an oddball size in the world of lighting. My 29 gallon is 18" high, so this should give me low to low-medium light. Seeing how I'm not running CO2 or on a mad fert dosing regime and have mostly anubias, java fern, hygrophilia polysperma, and crypts...it should be adequate to promote growth. Once I have it set up for a couple of weeks I'll report back on my thoughts. All I can say for now is that it was extrememly easy to order (there's a canadian distributor now) and it arrived in 4 business days.

meeiu Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Awesome! I just ordered the Finnex Ray II last week and it got shipped today i am excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 You will like the Ray 2... Have had mine for a few weeks now and it runs a bit warm but still better than the T5HO for heat. My plants are pearling quite nicely under them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koot Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Does the Ray 2 have separate timers for the daylights and moonlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Somehow I missed replying to this. Sorry about that. No the Ray 2 doesnt have moonlights. The Fugeray has separate power switches for the moon and the daylights but only one power cord so you cant have them running at different times.

Koot Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) No ability to run separate timers for the moon and daylight are my biggest complaint. that, and no rear exit of power cord... I run things pretty low tech, but already seeing improved growth over my old coralife 65watt CFL. No worries about the late reply, Cgybetta meeiu, your light arrive?
