I got my LED's today... That was crazy fast... anyways here they are.


90 20 watt Drivers



90 20 watt LED's


A closeup of the LED's the top left is white the top right is blue and the bottom is warm white. If you look closely you can see the 20 individual dies on each chip.

This is a diagram of how I plan on placing my lights on the aluminum sheet (I did it in paint... I know it sucks but it gets the point across). What do you guys think?

Another DIY led light project, look forward to see how you make out. What made you decide to do LED's vs say T5's ?

...T5's were never on my decision list... it was MH or LED's... LED's won because this is very much an "experiment" as it says in the title as well as clearance issues with height.

Green master looking really good man, I still can't believe that those little LED's can make corals grow.
