New NanoBox Reef LED Arrays

[braaap]

Do you currently have any more of these available? I was originally looking to get a couple more 24w Half Mega Acrostar boards from Theatrus, but haven't been able to contact him successfully.

Are you interested in entertaining custom LED loadouts?

I do have some blank boards. I could do custom diodes.

I had sent you a message about the driver boards. I’ll bump it and we can discuss there

I’m going to send you a PM.

Hey Braaap, do you still have any of these for sale? Also will they fit into a nanobox mini tide? I’m hoping to get mine back up

Yes and yes.

So back in February I went on a quest for new Nano Box Reef arrays. They were widely known as some of the better arrays on the market. They had a small form factor, good color spectrum and excellent color blend. And they could be had for relatively cheap. I was unable to find any new arrays so myself and @theatrus worked on making some new ones. He did the heavy lifting. I had the dream lol

They are currently a 13 diode array. They fit the exact same form factor as the last arrays from Dave at NanoBox. We added a picolock connector for ease of swapping along with standard solder pads. Will this be a long term project? Don't know. Need to see the interest.

They contain:
4 Royal Blue
2 Mint
1 Violet and 1 UV
2 5700 white and 1 3k white
1 Blue and 1 Cyan

5 different channels of control. Right now I have my light 5" above the water. 4" below the water is over 400 PAR. 15" below the water is 200+ PAR. Using a Apogee SQ-520.

Also I am working on helping with Bluefish and either absorbing the hosting cost or working on a way to have that removed if we can. I hate subscriptions as much as the next guy. But Spencer has said he is working on some nice updates.

I currently have 8 of these available. $65 shipped per array which covers my costs. If I were to make 30 of these I could get the pricing closer to $40 shipped. I am hand laying every diode and then flowing them. I then test them in a nano box fixture.

I can also make custom harnesses for use in the picolock connectors. I can make them to link up to 4 arrays together.

Price is not negotiable. I am firm on $65 per array shipped. After my fees and shipping I can't even cover the fuel to the post office lol

I currently am running nano reef led arrays about 6 years old , I lost the violet color on one set , can I repair it ? Dave fason years ago helped with the blue array but it’s been a bit

Depends on what failed. If a driver maybe. If the diode you could always reflow the entire board. The driver is harder but can be done.

Are you still selling these arrays?

I assume all these fixtures use the same drivers and board size. But to assure compatibility, I have a 2016 Mini Tide Plus M. 6 channels with the fan running on channel 6.

I don’t have any made but can make some. They should work for your light no problem. Pm me if you want some.

What Royal Blue diodes have you been using? I was going to upgrade my v3.1 boards possibly and it looks like there is no direct Luxeon replacement for the Lux Ts these days.

I’ve been trying to find a used 4’, 8 bulb ATI to send him to mod for me. No luck. What do you have yours mounted in?
Almost to the point of just trying to make something and putting several pucks on it.

If you're asking me, theyre in a Biocube 32g. The system is aging out so if I cant reflow my arrays with a updated diode I will probably go with a VipraSpectra or a Ecotech G6 with a custom lid and watch my money fly away lol.

I have a Mini Tide I’m trying to get going again! This is awesome to stumble on.

All of my LEDs light up, but they dim when multiple channels are at higher intensity’s. What’s my most likely culprit? I’d be fine to buy all new drivers and a new array. Just don’t know where to start!
