30 meters give or take, 432W total

That's alot of LED strips indeed.

Where are you sourcing the led strips from if you don't mind me asking?

I did RGB controllable LED backlighting on my wall mounted TV and got a kit from barlighting.com but they were pretty pricey.

They are 5050 72W 5 meter strips, looks identical to that website but I bought mine from ebay for significantly less. I'm still deciding on what controller to use as the standard ones are pretty crappy and only power 5m unless you use signal amplifiers which I did order but they are total crap and no way I'm trusting them.

That's looking sweet Steve! Heather said you were knee deep in a new tank so I thought I'd log on and check it out. Very impressive buddy! I like where your heads at with the bar! Next time Wendy and I make it that far west we will have to get together.

On a side note, any interest in advising me on some of my plumbing/sump set up? We are getting the basement designed and I have my fish room set aside. I'm not going for anything near what you have put together but I value your input.

Cheers!
