Most guys use a car or a truck.

How do you plan on compensating for that with an LED light?

Anyways looks like it going to be pretty awesome, enjoy the project!

Not sure what you mean there azulikit?

It's a joke Grizz. It's okay if you don't get it.

You know the guy driving the big lifted monster truck, maybe he's compensating for something? Do I really need to explain it in detail for you?

In this case the monster truck is your LED light. Get it? LMAO

Let me suggest to play with the beam of the optics over your tank and the height you like the array to be before you make a purchase as I think 45 and 60 degree optics are very narrow even on a height of 20" I am not sure if you seen my setup as I had 60 degree optics with a height of 24" and yet still too narrow,I could be wrong to as my array's dimensions 8"X10" and contains 60 LED:shocked!:

I ended up with carclo frosted white (wide) optics. It's insane how well they direct the light without really spotting. My lights are 12" from the water.

This is what I'm going with as well. Carlo frosted wides on the BJB connectors.

Martin brought out 2 big bags of optic to play with and If I dont like them he will find me something different. So handy that he is in Red Deer, well actually he is in Ireland right now but you know what I mean :lol:

I likely missed it, but do you have contact info or a website of where you got the LED's? I like the plugin idea and I'm planning to LED my 12G nano :lol:
