Holy heat sink Martin, can't wait to see that beast up and running. BTW I am loving the cabinetry work. Keep those pictures coming.

Today I made some progress with the hood and the LED build. First I had The Grizz weld together my heatsinks into one sturdy unit with 1 inch spacing between.



Some coke zero for size reference. The strips along the top are to hold the pocket door wheels that I am installing.



Heatsinks installed into the hood frame using pocket door kit:




I am using this pocket door kit so that I can slide the whole light backwards for access into the tank when needed and slide the whole system out for maintenance.

Finally starting to sheet the hood. Back will be sheeted and the sides will be flaps that open upwards.

Haha oh boy. Well the Euro Bracing on the tank actually seems to be keeping it in check pretty good. Hopefully it wont be too much of a problem.

Finally making some headway with my LED build. You would think I would be on that haha.



Each square of LEDs contains 2x Blue, 2x Royal Blue then either 4x Cool White or 2x Cool White & 2x Neutral White.

With this setup there is 24/13 ratio blue to whites so just a little higher than 2/1.

The blank area left is for the overflow.

No Reds or Greens yet. I will add those later once i get this up and running.
