Grizz's 300 gal 8'er / LED Heat sink build / Opinions on LED lay out needed

[lastlight]

Haha! Well to be honest I did come thru here scrolling for some glass previously. We'll take what we can get =)

well ok there you go, that is all the glass for the new 300. Only the front is starphire.

This should give you an idea of spacing and what you can do with 34 modules on a 1 foot square heatsink.

Cool pic. Now Grizz, could you imagine if you had to solder all of that! NO THANK YOU!

Considering Greg's the 'master fabricator' (in spirit if not in name) I doubt he'd be caught dead using a flimsy little soldering iron anyways

Yah, he'd probably use the welder. Bye Bye LED's.

Seeing that Martin makes me think I might have to go a little bigger with my heat sinks

Every day!! I go into the shop to go to work but then my attention is diverted to where my glass is & I have to go at least touch it.

Soldering all that would not bother me a bit, I have spent countless hours build and repairing small and intricate aluminum pieces & a TIG, so soldering would be a breeze BUT I do really like the plug and play Martin has going. The ability to temp attach the boards, plug them all together & power up to see what it looks like over my tank will be sweet.

Just have to convince Martin into doing a payment play
