Sweet! Very exciting to be in the build stage. Is this the first build you will have with LED's? What is the planned stock list?

Which kit did you get? Do you have a way of dimming it? That looks like a lot of LEDs (especially if they are Cree XP-Gs) for a 29 gallon tank.

yup, utilize a 60-48d and a 30-48d which are dimmable via a 0-10v input. Sometimes I find its best to use a sledge hammer instead of a finishing nail.

Nah, Second build. i did my 120g in my sig, I am going to check that thread and make sure its current.
No list yet aside from my desire for some wyoming whites or platinum clowns.

That's for sure! I use a pair of 60-48d's on mine. What are you going to use to dim the lights?

I'm counting 45 sockets. Dude that is going to ROCK! I have built fixtures and purchased them. 45 LEDs over a 29 gallon tank will be intense! I can't wait to see you finished project.
