So what do you have there for LED's? Row of blue, then white then blue again?

Correct, I've also lef the center row available for more whites if needed.

It's possible to spread the whites out a little bit, but I believe the blue/white spread will be quite good with this configuration.

Thought I'd post a quick update on my tank... Most fish died due to a Brooklynella outbreak in the tank :( also, a wicked case of Cyano has been around for a bit, I'm going to try and increase flow a bit and check my KH levels.

In the meantime, the DIY LED setup is complete. It was an easy build and mating with the Profilux was a breeze. Dimmable awsomeness!

those look super sweet with the black coat man nicely done. You keeping this open top? Any chance at a FTS with the new lights?

I'll be removing the lids once I find a way to reduce my humidity, my house hits 60 - 70 % with them off and around 50 with them on. I'll likely do a humidistat connected to a bathroom fan venting outside.

As for a FTS, It's really embarrassing right now due to the amount of Cyano and lack of fish... Once I get that under control and the area cleaned up a bit there will be a FTS :)


The aluminum cantruss is really nice to work with, it has so many options I'm suprised it's not more popular. It also acts as a heatsync, so I dont need to use any fans! Lights peak at 110F.

The tank is much brighter in person and can't really see the "spot lighting"...

From here, some doors...

If I remember correctly earlier in the thread he said it was around $1700 shipped but I didn't see a price listed for the EVG board so I would say maybe around $1750 ish.

The price was $1585 shipped, but I didn't use about $150 worth of the parts. Add another $60 for anodizing and your choice of mounting equipment.

You can enquire with Reef LED Lights, they are fairly quick in building a package.

The lights are exactly 12" away from the surface of the water.
