Thanks man. Yup, the only drawback is holding the urge to a bigger tank since getting a specimen from the sea is like doing your shopping at the super market.

Glad you like it. Appreciate your kind words.

My home made Arduino lighting controller. Arduino UNO with some relay boards, switching 4 number of LED drivers ON/OFF at specific time. Fully programmable from the front panel. Fan automatically turn on when any driver is ON, and OFF once all light is in night mode. I still have my PWM module I made for my previous CBB.
The "*" on the LCD display indicate the cooling fans are ON.

Inside my tank cabinet. Yeah... I know. Doesn't get any better than my canopy.
P/S: That skimmer was no longer in there. That tall white thingy was my previous denitrator. When my fountain pump failed, I made a new one much shorter with the intention of hooking up a doser. Lazy bones doesn't help at all, maybe one day I will

Hi @Donovan Joannes .
What a beautiful and extremely mix reef tank you have.
Congratulations!
Can you detail on your DIY led system?
Like how many LEDs, which colors and how many for each, etc. I am curious about your spectrum choice.
Thanks.

Thanks for the compliment. I can't remember the exact combi. I will check it out tonight and revert to you. Here is how it looks when the drivers are individually fired. It's a 3 channels, but as you can see on the controller picture, they overlapping each other at several time of the day.

My LED layout. This is 1/3 of the total LEDs I am currently running. I like a warmer look, SPS color will be darker. If you prefer pastel color, this layout is not for you. With 90 degree lenses, water surface will receive around 120K lux.
