Hi all , I run nano reef leds on my 90 gallon , years ago Dave fason helped me with building my own fixture that combines the 4 led clusters with 3 t5 bulbs , it looks like one of the violet drivers on one side has failed , anyone have any help in new drivers for the leds ?

Not sure who Dave is but have you tried asking him?

He’ll know what the specs of the LED are and what driver you need

I made new LED arrays for nano box fixtures. Unfortunately Daves drivers were glued to the boards and can’t be replaced very easily if at all. I have replacement drivers and possibly boards. Send me a message if you want and we can try and figure it out.

They run on bluefish app if that’s any help , everything runs perfectly other than the one color going out , the boards are buried in the fixture , one driver block per color if i remember correctly? It’s been 10 years running

Yes. These arrays I made are direct replacements.

Dave never wired anything the same. But each channel is one driver. So if you only lost one set of colors/channel then you lost one driver. They are very hard to replace.
