Well I did some inital testing last night and took some pics..

I am using three 470nm blue LEDs for now untill I get my order from the US.

set up on bread board


Pic from the side



Pic looking down to show the brightness


the next two pics didn;t realy turn out good, I will post them anyways but they look a lit darker than they realy are.. I will get better pics tonight to show what I mean





it is hard to see in thoes two last pic but the 3 LEDs actualy did a good job of lighting up the tank and even made the corals flouress a fair amount.. so tonight I will set my white ballance and try to capture some pics that show the real look of the tank.
