Planning a new tank... aka the world's longest AO 220g Starphire build log

[Europhyllia]

Can anyone think of anything I've missed so far? Any suggestions for changes/improvements?

Can it really be 'golden' with so many cool Whites? Why not consider Neutral Whites? Depending on BIN neutral whites can be almost as cool as cool whites or almost as warm as warm whites so check out bin. I've been following this thread on RC on color here.

Just a thought because you asked. Of course it will be fantastic either way... ;)

I'm excited to see what it looks like

Hey Karin, thanks for the input... Yeah, I know the cool whites are going to still be pretty blue, but I figured at depth you're going to still be pretty blue even during the "golden hours", so I'd just warm up the colors a bit during those times by dropping the blues and bringing up the whites a bit, rather than going for a true warm white... I've actually been following that same thread, and really went back and forth on the color, but I think I'm going to keep it this way... but, then again, I've got months 'til I'll be able to start on building it, so who knows what'll change between now and then? LOL

One thing to remember is the NW and WW don't have the same lumens output of the XPG cool whites.

True - but he has like 3 gazillions of them! lol

[fjr_wertheimber]

Nah, not 3 gazillion, only 216. Or, to put it another way, the equivalent of about 9 AI Sol Blues. Although with a whole metric ton more of soldering (and headaches) involved...

Anybody around here an electrical engineer? LOL

Side note, I was just looking at the AI site... Anyone else think the skunk clown on their front page with the lopsided right eye looks a bit, well, retarded? LOL
