The ACLS Ballast is soooooooo cool i would do anything to have one.

Unfortunately i never have the money. The whole light set up is unbelievable and worth it for people with the cash.(obviously not me)

Miki - Thanks for the reply and the bump. It really is a cool light, definitely the caddy of aquarium lights. I like it even better than the high end giesemann.

The Sfiligoi has cloud simulation like the Giesemann, as well as a "new bulb feature" which you can turn on which dims your new bulb to 75% of it's output. This is good for acclimation of your corals as you don't need to shorten the photoperiod or put eggcrate over your tank etc like you would with a normal light.

Also, depending on the longitude/latitude you set will change the moonlight phases as well. It is very accurate to simulate whatever location you input, very cool.

What dimension was the tank you had this over?

Would you call the light disbursement *square* or more rectangular?

Just wondering what size tank this could reasonably cover.

Thanks.

I would consider this light more "square" and would most likely be best over a cube. If you had dual lights, then I would put it over a long tank. Buying multiple lights is cool as you can create the dusk/dawk effect by configuring the ACLS to have one light dim and the other dim slightly behind it so that it replicates the sunrise/sunset.

I have it on my 30x30 cube right now but it is mounted considerably low as I don't want any light spilage. I would mount this on a 4' x 4' without any problems, but wouldn't go any bigger.
