    Nice, was gonna post to see what you though as well. Seems that you have some experience with this.

    That's what I thought, thanks!

    And for the actual driver, what do you guys think I should target for adjusting the SVR2 (output current) to?

    Thanks, I take that care with all my "projects". If I'm going to do it, i'm going to do it right. Hahaha that remote doesn't, but arduino does have RF and bluetooth modules that you can add :P Don't get me thinking.

    Tomorrow I'll fire them up and tune per a multimeter. Hey Todd, I know you are somewhere around .7 A, with my color spread, what do you think would be a safe number to start off at? Reminder of led color spectrum's: 4 Royal Blue 3 Blue 3 Cool White 3 Neutral White 3 Warm White 2 Red 2 Green 2...

    Hmm nice, I may have to order a can of that just as a secondary precaution. Next I exteneded the wiring to the dimmer and the led quick disconnects: Adding heat shrink tubing and mesh wiring loom: All cleaned up

    At this time i am not. I have them, but may not utilize them as I want a good blending of leds.

    Nice!, Yeah I think i'm actually gonna build a nice/easy acrylic splash shield. McLendons hardware is my best friend and has about everything in a nut/bolt type of bins to accomplish nearly anything.

    Re: Phase A) LED build, Phase B) automation/monitoring Phase C)... Profit?

    Nope, I have not hooked up the drivers yet. Good point gentlemen! I was wondering some of the same. I've done visual inspection as I was tightening them up, might just pick up some nylon washers to insulate between the 2, just in case. Hey Senji, that spray looks pretty wicked! Are you going to...

    Yeah I may end up cycling some out to blues later. Easy enough to desolder and swap out.

    senji's first led build

    Talking with a few others that have used that boostled typhoon kit, it seems pretty sweet. I've read through the code that they are using ( linked on the site ) and it seems pretty easy to adapt for our uses. Looking forward to see how that goes!

    On the 48" sink, running the following leds: 4 Royal Blue 3 Blue 3 Cool White 3 Neutral White 3 Warm White 2 Red 2 Green 2 Cyan 2 Violet UV As this is a supplement for the rest of the leds on the tank, decided to get a nice mix of different spectrum's. As you'd guess, those are spread out as...

    Re: Phase A) LED build, Phase B) automation/monitoring Phase C)... Profit?

    Thanks! Yeah I've split it into 2 sets of 12, so each set is going to its own driver. It's really not that bad at all. Just take your time and have fun with it. My next steps will be to finish the wiring pigtail to the driver, and driver to the manual dimmer control. At that time, then break out...

    Re: Phase A) LED build, Phase B) automation/monitoring Phase C)... Profit?

    So the placement of the leds, thermo gel and soldering went well. Pretty straight forward. Working on cleaning up the wiring as I go as want it as clean as can be. Pics Led color placement figured out Leds laid into placement

    senji's first led build

    Nice, looking to see how yours goes. I also placed and have received my parts to do a similiar build. Mounted my leds this weekend and did all wiring soldering. As I am using a quick disconnect between the heatsink and drivers, my next part is just soldering up between the drivers, quick...

    Re: Phase A) LED build, Phase B) automation/monitoring Phase C)... Profit?

    So first thing is first, I just have to figure out the layout of leds on the 1.4"x48" heatsink. 24 leds - 4 royal blue, 3 blue, 2 red, 2 green, 2 cyan, 2 uv, 3 warm white, 3 cool white and 3 neutal white. I'm looking to blend in the color spectrums in order to add a) extra par and b) augment...

    Re: Phase A) LED build, Phase B) automation/monitoring Phase C)... Profit? So, got my order in from RapidLed and it's time to build. I picked up a 1.4"x48" heatsink in order to augment some extra par and color to the main tank. Also picked up a kit with a similiar heatsink but only 1.4"x18" for...

    RBTA feeding ?

    I feed mine slices of shrimp, clams and squid. They like it quite a bit. Initially i used to feed them once a week, we liked watching them feed. Now it's like once every 3-4 weeks.
