Thanks for getting the LEDs out to me man!

Yeah, just look at CPU heatsinks these days, they now have LOTS fins are literally 'paper thin.' It's all about surface area, and dissipating the heat energy from the surfaces, so that the material can continue to "sink heat" away from the LEDs.

The frags have been accustomed to LED lights, as I had my original 8LED fixture on this tank. Lots of browned out frags have started to colour up under that light, so that test run is what inspired me to do the 28LED fixture. Now I can spread out the frags along the whole length of the tank.

Keep an eye on the frags at the top of the tank,t hey might bleach with all the new light.
