DIY 72 LED build

[toolmanbmw]

Ok here it is. Finally finished... I have the light set at 30% power and will slowly bump it up 10% at a time over the next month or so. I took some before and after pics.


This is with 2 250w MH and 4 54w T5.


This is with T5 only


The new LEDs at 30% for both blue and white. The right side has 60 degrees optics and the left side doesn't have any.

Here is a more closeup pic.

Here is a link to a video for the tank with LEDs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgLG...e_gdata_player


I like the look of the 60 degrees optics more. I can see way more lights on the sand bed. What do you guys think?

Very nice. No more bulb replacements and less summer heat issues. I bet this pays for itself in 18 months. What was the final cost if I may ask?
