Reefkid88 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Are you driving them with a LDD or what ? I wanna see what color light this puts out !!! Link to comment
Jackal_Knight Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 jbj picotope 3gallon Nanobox Mini Tide w/ storm controller from Dave Fason Your tank looks great how long has it been up? Are you driving them with a LDD or what ? I wanna see what color light this puts out !!! Here I snapped a quick pick, holding the light over my 11.4 gallon for ya. Like I said it looks white, but all the colors pop. I'm using rapid led moon light drivers to run these, and an old cell charger for the fan. Whole thing cost 60 bucks Link to comment
