Hi all!
This is the layout for my 180g (72"x24"x24") sps lights.
I currently am running these types of chips (12 total) with decent success (acros growing slowly), but feel like i can do better. Current PAR readings are about 150 mid-tank at 80%, so this should bump me up substantially... especially with the addition of the full-spectrum chips.
Chips are laid out to avoid the center braces and overflows. Each chip is a dimmable 50w, with 110v driver onboard. The price point on these is low enough to buy a few spares... which given their sourcing, is probably a good idea.
6 Channels: Blue1, Blue2, Full Spectrum, 30k, 20k, UV.
These will be run from a wifi dimmer that will handle dimming channels on/off, as well as geolocated weather events (e.g. if it's storming in Fiji, reduce Full Spectrum + 20k by 30%).
Heat sink (12" x 60") is on it's way, and I already have all the chips and dimmers. Will post updates as the build progresses.
