DaveFason Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 After cleaning the old office I found ~25-30 old Mini bodies. I wanted to find a use for these and figured why not make them into nicely package huge/planted/grow lights! Specs : Planted/Traditional Fuge Array - Neutral White, Warm white, violet and lime - OR - Royal Blue, red and violet ( Lux T, SEMILED, Rebel ) 12v Power Supply Small 5" x 3" x 1.25" Body Simple on/off no dimming Passive Cooling $100 Add gooseneck mount $25. I am drilling two holes on the top for people with creative hanging ideas. Please post here if interested or PM. Thanks guys! -Dave 2 Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Oh dang, SO wish it were possible for me to get this right now. LED lighting is the only type of lighting I don't have over the Experimental Macro tank I just started. One of these days I'll talk to you about getting something like this when the wallet allows. Love all of the cool ideas you come up with and the quality and innovation you've brought to LED lighting. 3 Quote Link to comment

Boggers Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 You would be fine with a Tide/single beam. However, without dimming you might be Too bright on that shallow of a tank. Quote Link to comment

I am making them to order. One single BEAM can light 12" cube just fine. 18" is pushing but it will be lit. -Dave Quote Link to comment

The planted tank idea is something I'm interested in. Do you have presets you'd recommend using for a planted tank using the mini tide? Quote Link to comment

If running a Mini Tide I would run the royals a 1-5%, whites ~ 80%, violet 20% and blue/cyan to your liking. 1 Quote Link to comment
