Reefkid88 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 hurry up and get'er wet already! lol but seriously, i wanna see where this goes I had every intentions of it happening tonight,but the like to be spontaneous and throw " date nights " on me.. So in that case... The hobby comes second hah. I'm wondering where it's going to go to man,I have just as much anticipation as all of you lol. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 So a little update,no the tank isn't wet. Long story,but I have a fellow reefer making me a light. It'll consist of I think 4 rb,2 blue,3-4 NW and 2 uv. Supposedly the light put out over 200+ par hung 10-12" over a empty tank @ 100%. I'm goin to have the light hung about 6-8" over the tank at about 15-20% to start once I get some frags in there put hope to achieve over or around 100 par on the sand bed an with water at about 30-35% probably will be a little less though. That's All for meow. Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 wow sick light indeed! Thanks man,it's going to be complete overkill but it's 100% dimmable on both channels so it's all good. Should have amazing color. Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hahahaha,nice choice of words man. I think it's like almost a inch thick and 6" long. It'll be a perfect fit for the tank. Link to comment
Beer Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That light looks nice. Looking forward to your other ideas Tom. It will look awesome over that cube. Where are the controls for dimming? I've got the sump done on mine. Finishing the plumbing tonight. Should have a writeup done in the next couple of days. Link to comment

It'll be my typhon controller. Unless I can sell my 2 typhon as buy another storm controller. Sweet man,I'm looking forward to it. I really want to see what you did. I really want throw the idea of sumping my girls to clean up the tank a little. If you can,PM me some prices on how much everything cost and what you used ? I'd appreciate it man. Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's a super small light. With some strong light being emitted from it. Me neither man,it's going to be ridiculous. Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 This is as custom as it gets ;]. Great DIY Man!!! Are you using 2 drivers? One for Blues and one for Whites? Miguel. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Great DIY Man!!! Are you using 2 drivers? One for Blues and one for Whites? Miguel. Thanks man,though I cannot take the credit for building it. Someone else did. Yeah,it'll most likely use a Coralux 2up board with Mean Well 700mA drivers,one for each channel and a Typhon controller control the fixture. In my 7 gallon thread there is a post with the leds on each channel. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Tank shall be wet tonight,I finally didn't forget to bring the tank with me this time lol. Link to comment
