The $110 LED Upgrade for my 150!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My buddy got yellows by mistake. So rather than try shipping 6 back to China, we found this we're going to try out all 3!

*added to watch list* that's hella cheap and looks shallow enough to mount just about anywhere! Needs a driver and powersupply though I anticipate. Check out the other LED stuff from ac-rc, they have 10w royal blue ones, even a 100w 8000LM panel!

http://cgi.ebay.com/12-36VDC-Waterp...aultDomain_0&hash=item3f084b86f5#ht_646wt_907 $6.50 for a driver

Let me know how those panels work out, I figure I can get 2 whites and 1 blue for my moonlighting.

No..he's going to solder them into the floodlight fixtures on this thread.

I just recieved two of the 10w leds. side to side is ok but I would need two more for front to back on the 120 gal. don't know how to hang them as I have a pole going across the middle of the tank. anyway, if any one is looking for these I'm am going to put them on ebay unless you want them. they are black, cool white, and came with the plugs attached. one is still wrapped un opened. pm me if interested.

Thanks again!
 
Do you think 2 10W would be feasable for a 75G (48"Lx18"Wx21"D)? Or too much?

If you're after a low light setup, I think it will work just fine. I had one 10w unit over my 57g and I really liked how it looked...

I just put 2 over a 55 and love it!

I am MORE than thrilled with the $110 update. The lighting looks so natural it's like sun rays penetrating the water. it also has the metal halide like ripple. My camera pictures & videos look a little more yellow than it actually is, probab;y from a last leaching from ManzMan wood. Pictures here, video on next reply.
