Nano Box Reef is breathing new life into older fixtures with some pretty compelling modifications with the Nano Box Reef RETRO program to bring custom T5-LED and metal halide-LED hybrids to market. As a DIY hack, I always envisioned the clean, sleek and stylish aquarium but my budget often said otherwise so I have a soft spot in my heart for retro projects. Nano Box Reef is not disappointing us with what we have seen so far.
We came across this interesting image of a T5-LED hybrid bymember “4×5” at the Nano-Reef论坛和思想ATI有一个新产品，直到我们做得更多挖掘。似乎客户在他的Acropora珊瑚上越过阴影，并希望添加一些T5补充，但他的情况无法提供干净，更时尚的样子，并使用他的无限设置。他联系了Nano Box Reef，他以改装的四灯泡ATI 24W Sunpower T5夹具结束。对于这种特殊的灯，它们添加了两个纳米盒13UP LED阵列，风暴控制器，内部驱动器，重新加快T5S并涂上夹具白色。
“通常我根据客户的要求做，或者他们让我跑了它，”Nano Box Reefowner David Fason. “For this customer I had an old [ATI] Sunpower that I did all the work. I am buying old units like this and adding LED and better T5 equipment. However most of the time people contact me about the RETRO and I will take it from there.”
We were intrigued with the LED array and diode choice as we all know, all LEDs are not created equal. Fason let us in on his design for the Nano Box Array that is a simple two-channel setup that includes two warm white, one neutral white, two lime green and two violet 3W LEDs along with two blue and four royal blue 3W LEDs to get it reef ready. They have been experimenting with the blend over time and added the lime green LED in March and has been really pleased with the results. They are using Philips Rebel ES/Rebel LEDs except for the violets that are SEMILED.
