DaveFason Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Thought everyone would enjoy this. Here is my first unit I made for a friend. It was built from bent sheet metal, beast heatsink and CREE XR LEDs. Amazing how far it has come. The new Tide has better output, color and of course form factor. I ended up buying this back from him! I had to keep in storage for moments like these. Untitled by David Fason, on Flickr Enjoy! -Dave Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 WOW! Such a smaller unit and better spectrum. What was the layout of your original fixture? White/Blue only? Link to comment

I did what AI was doing, white, blue and royal. I will look at this thing from time to time and just grin. Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Throwbacks areas always fun! I did what AI was doing, white, blue and royal. I will look at this thing from time to time and just grin. Those grew corals very well, but the colors of the corals sucked. Link to comment

Boggers Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Next week you need to line up some of the different versions. But this is still VERY sweet that you have the first one still. Link to comment
