DIY marine aquarium lighting
Hello everyone,
I am in Bulgaria and decided to start with a saltwater aquarium because I really like beautiful sea corals and fish.
After spending a lot of money on the aquarium and filters, pumps, etc., it turned out that I was almost broke. After much thought, I decided to make my own lighting for my future reef aquarium. The prices of 1000-2000 euros for Lighting System are impossible for me. So I looked at the devices of these extremely expensive lights, took a piece of paper and a pen and hastily sketched out my lamp. Necessary materials: 1. Aluminum profile for LED strip; 2. Diodes with different wavelengths (400-700nm, 20000 K); 3 Controller for sunrise and sunset modes with 5 adjustable channels; 4. 24 V drivers and power supplies; 5. 24 V fans. And I got to work.
