Reef-Geeks January 2010 photo contest is all about SPS corals

So show what you got

Why should i enter this contest? (you might ask) Because Premium Aquatics is going to give the winner a brand new, not even on the market 45.2 inch IceCap Blue LED Array Retro light tube!!

IceCap Blue LED Array Retro - 45.2 inch: Premium Aquatics

Here's more info about this great prize:

470 nm Blue LED’s

The LED tubes have the same look of a standard T5 tube, but they are powered by a low voltage transformer, not a fluorescent ballast. The T5 form provides a very even spread of the light over the entire aquarium. Encasing the LED's inside a T5-style tube protects them and their circuit boards from the harsh, salty, humid environment that is your normal saltwater aquarium. The IceCap LED arrays also have an aluminum heat sink on the backside of the tube to dissipate what little heat they generate. These two unique features to their LED arrays protect them from the elements (salt, humidity, and heat) that destroyed other brands of LED’s.

Wait till you see what they do for your corals!

Photo is an example of the LED tubes in action. This is Icecap's full hood, only shown to illustrate the power of the LEDs. Picture show

Photo showing example of LED tube mounted with T5 end caps and mounts.

LED’s boast low energy consumption and a long life span, but Icecap knows the reason you'll want them is what they will do to the appearance of the corals. They are designed to excite the green fluorescing proteins in corals. They particularly bring out yellows, oranges, reds, and greens. If you think your corals look good under actinics, you haven't seen anything yet! Mushrooms, zoanthids, Ricordea, and most any fleshly large polyp stony corals look amazing under the LED's. This immediate and stunning glow is guaranteed to wow anyone who views your tank during the “twilight” hours and they will continue to cause fluorescence when all the lights are on.

The LED retrofits ship with mounting clips to secure the LED tubes to a canopy, commercial hood or existing fixture. The weight should not be an issue because the 2-foot unit is only 4 oz. Power connection to the LED array is a power tail with a quick connect to a low voltage power supply, no hand wiring required.

So let the contest begin!!!

Thanks Premium Aquatics
