LED Light Complete!!!

[Crazy35111]

Finally completed the project and got it all programmed and running. I used 72 LEDs (36 CREE XRE-WG-Q5 on Star and 36 CREE XRE-RB on Star). I then used 6 Meanwell ELN-60-48D drivers and hooked it all up to the Profilux 3. Gotta say that LED lights are great, and the flexibility with the combinations are pretty much endless. Nanotuners.com has excellent prices and awesome customer support. So far it appears my corals and fish are LOVING the lights, especially the 2 toadstools. Sorry for the Mag

Forgot to add...if all goes well this week, I will be selling my 48" Coralife Lunar Aqualights Compact Fluorescent. It works great, and have a complete set of new replacement bulbs in the box. Probably sell for $125

Thanks, the camera really doesn't do it justice at all...looks a lot better in person.

Ok, I've been holding off on buying my stuff to build mine, and now I'm going to go ahead and ask you where you got your parts, aaaaand i'll be hitting you up for advice soon.

This is awesome! How are you managing heat? BTW my brother has a huge mill in his garage and can make anything you like out of aluminum for cheap.

[Reefer]

Cody, I will be taking you up on that. Does he have a cheap source for aluminum too?

[harlequin29]

Ehhh not sure on that. I'll see. When I saw that he had it, I thought it would be perfect for making aluminum heat sinks.
