Terry,
I never did load the Canon software in my computer. I always used what came with the computer and it worked well. I did get it to pop up once a few hours ago and then it mysteriously vanished! Another program is conflicting with it so it seems. I did load up the Sony software for the cyber-shot. Could have been a mistake I suppose! Well, i cannot get it to read the card from the slot either. I think I will remove it and then restart and see if the old software kicks in and starts working again! Sheesh! What a nightmare!
Thank you Terry

AHHH! I GOT IT!!!!!!!LOL. Downloading 1100 pics right now! Thanks Glenn! I think I have it working now however! Sheesh! STAY AWAY FROM XP SERVICE PACK 3!!!!

Hi guys,
Well, I had it working. Then it stopped. Now, after I shut the printer down then turn it back on it's loading pics from the printer again!!!
Update: I got the Lumen Bright pendant on Friday and got around to taking it out and getting it together today. Not much to it. I had to install my Icecap male connector and put the housing on the side that holds the ceramic mogule in place. The mogul is fully adjustable to get the bulb centered perfectly in the center of the reflector. Removing and adjusting is a simple matter of two thumb screws!
Here's the first pic. I put a coat of wax over the entire unit to help protect the black paint and seal it.
Build quality is excellent and the glass cover is crystal clear!

redseareef · 11-07-2009, 09:41 PM

You can see the hole in the side where the mogul slips through. The housing attatches via 4 screws

Build quality is awesome! Nice paint too

Now here's the individual reflectors mounted in the inside. lots of panels that are highly polished!

These reflectors should do a nice job reflecting darn near every bit of light back into the tank. With 24"s I should have a nice down ward spread of light as well!

redseareef · 11-07-2009, 09:44 PM

IF you look at the second pic of the outside housing on top, you can see that the two eyelets are not front to back from the rear where the mogule sits. I took the screws out of the top and shifted the plate over one turn. Now both eyelet hangers are in line with the mogul housing. Hoping the pendant hangs level now!

redseareef · 11-07-2009, 09:46 PM

I went and purchased some nice black chain, S-hooks and a ceiling hanger all rated at 40 pounds! Should be plenty here in Earth Quake country!

redseareef · 11-07-2009, 09:51 PM

I am still undecided if how I am going to hang it will work ok and I can get the pendant exactly where I want it. I plant to run a 6 inch piece of chain from eyelet to eyelet across the top of the pendant. Then hook to that chain and travel up to the ceiling.
I am thinking this will give me some forward/rear adjustability to get the pendant nice and level. I am stopping here, as no bulb until Monday!
I do however have a plumb-bob to hang and get the hole in the ceiling centered just right.
WOW! I am very excited to get some par numbers and get a color I like over the tank! Here's my ballast and a few more pics

Dweezil · 11-07-2009, 10:22 PM

Wow! With all those reflectors you will get some awesome light. Glad you got you computer back to a working state. :-)

nanoreefing4fun · 11-07-2009, 10:48 PM

Great pics - What a light !!!

redseareef · 11-09-2009, 11:59 AM

Thanks Tammy, Thanks Glenn! I got to thinking Saturday night, and with extra chain I saw no reason not to hang the pendant and get it ready for the bulb! After careful measuring and a 13.50 trip to Lowes for a chain, s-hooks and a special hanger in the ceiling I am in business.
CoralVue recommends 14 inches minimum from bottom of pendant to water surface. On this picture, you can see the height difference between the Phoenix and the Lumen Bright!

redseareef · 11-09-2009, 12:02 PM

I will snap some pics when the lights come on of the Phoenix just so you guys can see the color of the 15K phoenix bulb. NOT A BAD BULB AT ALL!
As a matter of fact with more actinic supplementation it would have been quite nice. I will keep it for a back up.! The PAR numbers tell the story, and the bulb is really starting to give some of my Acropora nice colors!
I think alot of these bulbs are made at the same place, with different company stamps on them!

redseareef · 11-09-2009, 12:04 PM

Doh! Sorry guys. Not Phoenix! Odyysea! Oddysea! Oddysea! LOL

Reefmack · 11-09-2009, 12:32 PM

Nice to see the new setup in progress! Yes - we'd like to see the tank pics too!

redseareef · 11-09-2009, 12:47 PM

Hey Terry,
Yes, I will snap some pics when the lights come on. I am pretty excited to get the bulb here today! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
