Question for Carl about older Aquaray models

[billg71]

Carl,

I upgraded my lighting to two of the Aquaray GroBeams a couple of years ago, I think I remember they were the GroBeam 400 model but can't be sure. Does that sound right?

I also bought a Mini LED 400 for my nano tank,  is that what you were selling at the time? I finally got it mounted a month or so ago by just screwing the Mountaray bracket to the wall behind the tank, it's almost perfectly centered over the Fluval Nano tank about 5" from the top and looks great! The bacopa and wisteria seem to like it, they're green and healthy.

I see there have been some updates to both lights since, could you summarize the differences?

Thanks,
Bill

P.S. You and AAP rock, wouldn't buy anywhere else. Feel free to use me for a reference.

Thanks for the positive feedback, always nice to read in a world where in many other forums I get attacked (& personally too I might add)!

The AquaRay 400 Mini is basically the same other than any tweaks Cree may have done to the emitter itself

The GroBeam Strips have changed to the XB-D Cree emitter which is a higher output emitter with less sensitivity to voltage changes.
This allows for improvement in sensitivity to moisture since moisture in the circuitry can lead to subtle changes in voltage that over time can damage the emitters and/or the emitters performance.
