Hey BTL, just currious, your fixture has 12 drivers right?  They're not MW ELN drivers are they?
Lol, I have no idea. My husband would know, I'll find out.

Hey corey, please send me that info on the MW ELN. Any info helps when it comes to LEDs over aquariums.
And it looks good, what optics on it?

I will Josh. You've probably seen some of the info before but it pertains to the harmonics and safety issues of multiple ELN's.

+1 Leds are awsome..im debating now if i want to get an ecoray fixture for my 36 instead of a tek t5 system.... I just love the color pop, the light color, and the shimmer effect....ughhhh not to mention the power bill and heat transfer!

DIY is the best, trust me cheaper, and all you really need to know how to do is solder, read a diagram, and turn knobbs.
Also, Corey you have absolutely NO idea how incredible zoos look under RB LEDs, its mind blowing.
 
yeah its the 14k....the zoos look amazing under just the blues....the colors are some that you could never imagine under regular lighting systems....so glad that i upgraded from the power compact thanks for the help NikeSB couldn't have done it without your help.

There's a picture of it in our 155 thread. We did not build it. We bought it from someone who had built it for his 180, used it for a couple months and then had to move. It's a lot of drivers, but it's going over a 180. It's one of the cleaner DIY I've seen and we couldn't have made one ourselves for the price he sold it to us.
