Trogdor447 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I tried 10k and 50k ohm pots from radio shack, all about the same. They were liner-taper potentiometers, I'm not sure if they are the right type or not. Only other type they had said audio potentiometer. Luckily for me I like the light almost all the way up. The corals seem to be opening up larger then ever with the new lights. Been about a week now and I'm seeing colors I didnt know I had. thats good - i had to turn mine way down so i dont cook corals lol Link to comment
gwcreefer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 thats good - i had to turn mine way down so i dont cook corals lol I think I can run them all the way up because I have a rsm130 and I still have the lens cover on that covered the stock lights. Kind of acts like a diffuser a little. Link to comment
james1990 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 thanks for the write up. its the most detailed one I have found on this kit. however, I am the least experienced with DIY lighting and still cant figure it out LOL are there any videos or anything else I can go off of? I have the 24 kit with one heatsink Link to comment
duoc9119 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I was looking at the 14 dimmable kit and it comes with 2 drivers and 1 power cord. Do I just combine the drivers together and connect it to the power cord? I might want to use a project box that the pots go into. And have all the wires connect to the box and out the other end using banana plugs or something so it is a quick disconnect system. Link to comment

lifen Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I want to buy an "Aquarium 24 LEDs DIY Dimmable Kit" set for my 10 gallon. Goal is to be able to grow everything I want, including SPS. My question: what options should I take? I'm thinking 12 white, 12 blue. White leds: all 4500K (neutral white, right?) Meanwell LPF-25D-42 Optics 60 degrees 18x30 cm heatsink (will have to cut it down) Any help? Especially for the driver. Link to comment

I would just go with the standard drivers unless you have a controller to dim them. Mine have been running at almost 100% for about a year without issue. You probably won't need the optics on a 10 gallon. Go with the 60 and experiment with and without. I ended up not using them over my 10 gallon. Link to comment
