4 660 reds, 2 blues and 4 whites (2 neutral whites 2 cool) The chaeto was growing great until I started using this skimmer but it slowly died no matter what I did. I had planned on taking pictures of the whole rebuild on the lights but I started at 10 AM on Saturday and didn't finish until...

Thanks. He has been fun and number 2 will make it even more fun. The funny part about the lights in the sump is I dont use them anymore. I made them for my scrubber but when I put this home built skimmer in there it does too good of a job to keep cheato alive. I had a large ball in there...

they should be even with the max of the leds. The drivers I got for all of the blues and whites are LDD1000 http://www.rapidled.com/mean-well-ldd-1000h-dimmable-driver/ They say max is 1000mA so I should be good since I am planning on setting them down to 80 %

I just double checked and the xpg leds can run 1500mA and the xpe leds can run 1A so I will probably keep the 1 A fuses in there to be safe since the xpgs are the whites and I wont need to go that high with them

http://www.rapidled.com/semileds-true-violet-uv-led-400-410nm/ all the bulbs can run at 1000mA im pretty sure with exception to the moonlights and uv lights. moonlights I got a LDD350mA for and the uv I ordered the LDD700mA. I still plan on running at 75% to 80% on all of them to make them...

So if each string has its own driver I shouldn't need them then correct?

My Mother makes stained glass items and made me these as a payment sort of for building her 75 gallons lights and stand. here are the side panels

Hello all. It has been a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnng time since I have been on this forum but I need some help. I have been suffering along with no controller on my tank long enough and have decided to pick up a bluefish mini and LDD 1000 drivers for my 120 lights. The build here...
