![]() Wow! At full-power that would be
150w + 192w + 192w + 48w = 582 watts total power On almost the same size tank, I'm only using (10w emitters): 6x 445 nm blues 6x 455 nm blues 4x 20000k whites 4x 6500k whites 8x 10000k whites At full power, mine is at 280 watts, but I'm only running the blues at full and the whites at under 40% - I prefer the bluer look (14000k-20000k). With that many emitters, you must only be planning to have them on at 30% or so I'm guessing.

![]() So unfortunately I've realized that between running Modular LED and a full time job I basically have zero time for anything haha. My DIY LED project has been on hold (oh the irony) for a little while and I have all these boxes of AI Vegas sitting around ugh... too tempting.
Well some of my corals are not looking to happy lately and I have been keeping them going with several LED quick fixes with a Sol, some Ecoxotic Panorama Pros and my old DIY fixtures. Cue Vegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ![]() I modified some AI Sol rails (4 foot) adding the pocket door kit wheels ![]() Next the Vega array. ![]() Put them on the tank: ![]() ![]() ![]() And wa-la 1 hour later I finally have a decent LED system. I can't believe how bright it is, (4 might be overkill). Will take some pics tomorrow of the tank. Its growing in nicely.
