Default Red Sea Max 130D - LED Retrofit

I've been working on an RSM 130 kit for a while now and here it is. Heatsinks I had ordered custom size just for the RSM hood and the drivers tie into the existing timer and moonlights already in this neat little hood.

Full install instructions are located here

LED choices in this one are (individual LEDs):
14x Cool White
8x Royal Blue
8x Blue

Here is a few photos of what this kit looks like:

LEDs glued down:


Wired up with provided connectors:


This is how it looks when fitted in
the hood:

And here is what you get for LEDs in the standard kit (you can always choose different colors if you like):

Where did you buy the parts from and how much was the setup for these litems.... Do you think you will still need stunners like the ecoxotica ones ... I myself have been thinking about such a retrofit. Are you able to put sps corals as well?
Thanx

Grizz beat me too it but here is the link: http://www.modularled.ca/red-sea-max-130/

Total price is $275 and no you do not need stunner strips this is designed for SPS growth , in fact you will most-likely dim it down a little.

The RSM hood already has 2 fans that will draw air in and over the heatsinks existing out the opposite side.

Smile

Looks pretty good...very tempting

- how does it compare to a Ecotech radion which i know fits into the red sea max 130s cabinet
- any images of the tank compared to stock pc lighting/before and after retrofit
- how many hours to assemble this retrofit for us laymans
- would be nice to have a video for the instructions too
- no need for lens on these leds.?

- do you sell ecoxotic panaroma pro or some similar.... I heard shadows of ones aquascape may be compensated only by 2 additions of stunner strips at the front and back
- any group discount for us folks out here in vancouver
