Ill be honest, this build is for my high tech planted tank. But some of the best led light info I’ve found is on the reef forums. So I figured I’d ask you guys. This tank is a sumped 20g long, will be Injecting co2 and and nutrients. But I need a better light, I have some drivers laying around that can run ten 3w leds. However I’d love to be able to dim. I got to looking and the Arduino systems looks awesome. I would like to run 25-30 3w leds, And be able to dim individual channels. I plan on have a 10000k channel(10leds), a 6500k channel(10leds), and a full spectrum channel(a couple full spectrums, 450-480nm, and some 400-450nm(for color mainly).
My question is what power supply and driver should I use? I was thinking of using the meanwell led-700, it’s 2-54v and dimmable. I know I can run up to 14 led on it, but what’s the minimum number I could run? And what would be a cheap power supply to run three of these drivers?
Led specs,
3.2-3.4 forward voltage
700ma current.
