Yeah I may try the Dim4 or arduino build some day but we will see. If he gets the typhoon/hydra fixed I will probably do that build. I do have a typhoon here for the 75 build so I may try the 5v on my build and see how much power I actually get cause on my pot I only have it turned up about...

So for the past few weeks even though there wernt any fish in the tank we have been feeding it just alittle to try and get the scrubber to start producing algae. here is what Ive got so far.

here is the tank with the cloudy look All of the lights are on their lowest settings In this pic

So after 5 hours this morning between patients I got everything switched over to the new tank so after it clears up alittle more from the rocks I will post a pic of the final product. I really love the color mixes we have and wouldnt change any of that although I do have one regret. And that...

Dang Corey, its looking good. Can't wait to see it wet.

so here are some of the pics we took during the setup here is with all of the lights set to 750 mA here are the blue and white on the lowest power I can go the blues and whites on lowest power and red and greens on 750mA and finally a look full view of the tank with all lights on 750 mA I...

Got it..... was a bad connection on one of my plugs

yes i did but Im starting to think it was just bypassing the bad one, Im working on a theory at the moment

I just pulled that sides light out and tested each led and they all lit up so more questions arise for me now

Ok so I got the whole light hung in the topper and put it up and now I dont have one of my blue strings working. I checked my fuses with the ohm meter and it is good so I dont know why one stopped working now. any ideas?

A picture of my error

WOW do you ever have one of those moments where you feel like a complete idiot? Cause I just had one of those moments. On my meter it has 2 different places to plug the positive plug, one for DC 10A and the other one for V, ohms, mA, and battery............ I had moved it to the DC 10A side...

Yes it was set to 200vdc and yes only the one fuse blew. It was the one at the start of the string I was trying to test on. I will take pics of where I was testing tomorrow and post them to see what you think.

well thats odd then cause I tried it a second time and the same thing happend. Both times I had the red on the terminal block after the resistor and the black one on the terminal block where the - side returns to the black wire. Any thoughts?

OK I just tried to do the total string forward voltage test and a fuse went boom. I rechecked where I had my probes touching and they were on the correct strings so Im not sure what happend.

IT LIVES!!!!!!!! pay no attention to the mess LMAO. This is with just the whites and them turned all the way down because I didnt have time or the heat shrinks to hook up the blues or red/greens. Ok so everything is wired up how I want it and now Im trying to figure out how to check and see...

I should have something to report in a few hours. Been working on it but want to see how far I can get today before I post too much. Plus I need to go and cut some 2X4s to hang the things from so dont have much time on my lunch break to type.
