So kinda got carried away with pics above, ...sorry.
Now Jen did her bestest to help me get the lights back above the tank after the move, but they were just a bit heavy for her. She had a bit of a malfunction & it slipped. One of the lenses got knocked off & I thought nothing other then, Hmmm, have to stick that back on. Fired the units up & one string was not going. Seems that the LED diode got smashed along with the lens.
Never had time to add the other LED's I wanted to before the units went back up, but now I can find the time to get that sorted. The plan is to add, UV, Violet, Cyan & a few red. God knows how many LED's this will end up with but I have allowed for another 108 with room to add more if required or the next big must have colour in reefing is decided on, reckon that will be yellow? Why yellow? It seems to making an appearance tho in some units.
We have more then enough LDD's of different mA's so will be changing over to them when @
MagicJ can send us about 6 or 8 boards. CW NW RB BL will be run a 1A, VL & CY 700ma, UV 500mA & red at 350mA. If anyone can think of something better please let me know lol.
Ordered the first bits for the power supply today. This will run 312 LED's with ease & room for lots more. Maybe a bit of over kill but what the fuck, that's the name of the game in reefing isn't it? Bigger is better & all that lol. The actual power supply's are two of these.....
Two of those will slip into one of these........
The power supply's will be controlled by one of these.........
So then we have to cover the power cuts, so we found this UPS which should fit in & cover a few power using bits & bobs until normal services are restored.....
That about pulls me for toys for the next couple of months. After I get all this stuff hooked up we will see what else is out there to play with.
Well, it's late & I want a smoke, so ta-ta for now guy's. :)
