I can pick up at CFM as well. Thanks :)

Started building my new lights. So far I took apart the old lights and cleaned the heat sinks. Rearranged the layout and got the fans setup. Didn’t receive the Lumias yet so more to come soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi If there is anything leftover Ill take it, I can pick up in either place. Just rebooted my tank and it is pretty bare, need lots of stuff to fill it up. Becho

I have 3 6x20 heatsinks that I got from rapidly a few years back, they come with an acrylic shield. I'll be installing 2 120mm fans per each heatsink. I'll get 9, I can always dim them down.

I'll probably end up screwing them down especially if I end up using the Lumia LEDs, just in case I make any changes in the future. I'm still debating on the number of LEDs, my tank is 72'' long and have 3 24'' sections, I will make 3 fixtures to go over each section and wondering if I should...

I never thought of the high voltage issue as I will be starting from 99V to close to 200V but its still a very low current, even if I would end up touching the live wires by mistake should not be that bad even in the 1500ma or 1.5A. Do you think I should glue the chips using thermal adhesive...

Now I am a little confused. The drivers I picked have different voltage ranges, my understanding was that as long as my string of LEDs total voltage is in between the drivers operating voltage I should be fine, also some LEDs run at different amps, some at 700ma some at 1500ma so making sure...

This is my calculations.

I'm not too crazy about a deep blue color for my lights as it can look a bit fake (my opinion) once it goes too much in the blue color. I think I'll keep 9 as the total amount, I am worried that with the led clusters sometimes you get a spotlight effect versus an equally distributed light. My...

Hi Mark The Lumia looks interesting, thanks for the advice. They do seem to have many colors, you seem to have used the coral cool spectrum combo, how do you like the color? I am wondering how many I would need for my 6ft tank, I'm thinking 9 pieces in 3 heat sinks to spread them equally...

Ill get 2 tickets if you still have more. Becho

For a while I noticed that one of the chanels in my DIY lighting was off but since I didn't have many corals in my tank any longer I never took it down to check on it. I finally decided to see what's going on and my 5year old lighting system and a bunch of the LED's look a little burned out so...

Hi All It is an Emperor Angel and yes it started changing to adult colors. I didn't have this particular fish when I was growing SPS but I did have another juvenile Emperor and other angels that never nibbled on my sps. I did get a small rock with some Zoes a few days ago and few are missing...

This is what it looks today. :(

Hello all It's been some years since I haven't been here, a few years since I haven't maintained my tank either:oops:. I have my tank for over 10 years now and there was a time when my tank was thriving, full of sps that I had to donate to make space in my 125G tank. I started slacking in my...

I may take you up on that if you can spare some :), I'm starting a algae reactor and need a starting batch. I live in san jose as well.

125G 6' tank

I was wondering if someone had used any of the products that are in the market and had any feedback on them. I read a lot of bad reviews where people where left with worst results that when they started so I was worry I will do all that work for nothing. I am sure some of the kits are better...

Hi all I bought a used tank that I wanted to use to replace my current one and after cleaning the tank I noticed some scratches that I am not to happy with. i been trying to find a good way to get rid of them but I wanted to see if someone had any luck with a similar task. The tank has one...

Hi there Thank you very much for your info, very interesting. I'm looking to fix my new tank before installing it, just bought a used tank and once I brought it home and get it all cleaned up I noticed few scratches that I am worry they will show once the tank is filled. I am pretty handy and...
