@Encore
If you don't mind... I'm a slow learner :confused:

Which picture in your two post has all led colors on?

@Encore That bottom one is with the neutral, blue and lime all running? that's perfect. Are those on separate drivers and a single controller?
Are meaning his third and last shot?

The very last. The limes cast a slight green to the blues and make it not so blacklight looking. Hard to get a good pic of leds in general. Over a 40b you wont really need much but driver wise its not much more to get a dimmable you can adjust then a fixed driver and only way to adjust non dimmable would be to hang them higher prob. Im not sure if we can post links but rapid is where i buy from. They have a tab on thier website of led university that is a good read i guess. If you plan to diy i would definitely do some googling first

Lol,
Now you want to do your own diy led's :D

I'm running a hybird and waiting to see if the Philip's "Coral Care" EVER hits the USA. :)
Oh, throw DIY in front of anything and I'll want to do it. My wife hates it. She say's, "we finally make enough money that you can buy everything we need and most things we want. But you keep making them. "

Yes the last is all 3. The blues and whites and lime are all sperate drivers (blue has 6 and white 3). Ill get a bunch of different config pics tomorrow when im not freaking the fish out.


My whole point to replying is i really like the color the bridelux lime add even if not seperatable from the white. It gives the hint of color i missed in my halides being gone

My tank when all channels are on. I have rb, red, blue, green, pink, uv, cool white, warm white and amber in there. It take some time to tweak but coral seems to be happy and growing.

Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No shadows or hot spots. You nailed the led spread!

Can you tell us all the specs on your diy led. Like, Rapid Led and so on?

Light spread seems to be okay. This acros have nice under growth with good color. I will share the information later. Kind of difficult typing with my handphone
