Yes I did. Krystal Clear Aquatics in Auburn has one over a 180. Roger was very helpful he was the one who told me that the 14k bulbs are supposed to become available soon.
Anyone have a Giesemann Spectra?

Nick, that's the Infiniti, which has dimmable T5's IIRC and moonlights. I'm looking at the Spectra. It got 3 x 250 DE or SE, 4 x 80 T5 for ~ $2100 minus the HQI ballasts.
That'd be awesome. I'd love to see it in person.

Freudian slip maybe?
It looks REALLY nice Nick. It's too bad they don't make a 3 x 250W fixture. My wife walked by and commented on how tasteful your set-up looks. She really liked the fixture and said she couldn't wait til we got one. I reminded her that we're getting the Spectra, not the Planet.

Thanks Paul. I'm really trying to get this tank back to where it used to. It was more challenging than I thought. I was battling red slime algae for over a month after the crash because the skimmer wasn't skimming the way it used to. My ca-reactor needed to be redialed because of the loss of the corals calcium consumption.
btw, I opened up the ballast box last night and rewired the two ballasts so that they're truly independent from each other. It helps with what I want to do with my lighting schedule.

I love my Giessman 250w pendant. My acros grow out of the water

Do you think you're voiding the warranty on your fixture by re-wiring the ballasts like that?
I'm sure you're tank will reach it's legendary status once again.
*Edit - Oh wait, don't you have a Planet I?

Good to hear coldshutter. I should be receiving my Spectra today. I'm pretty psyched.

It's a Planet II. I think the Planet I is the first generation.
I don't think rewiring the ballasts will void the warranty. I'm sure Jesse will take care of me something goes wrong with the fixture itself.
Did you see this?

Damn! Could've saved me a couple Benjamins!! And probably would have changed your decision of the Gieseman too if this was posted one week earlier.

They say that Elos is a stand-up company.
That's a great deal and it's a beautiful looking fixture. But I still wanted to go with three halides.
