28 LED Wide Spectrum Build with MakersLED Heatsink

Z-O-M-G!! looking awesomest!! Congrats and good job, Im happy for you Mike!

 

Thanks Shin! I'm using my iPhone to take pictures and its not really capturing the true colors, but oh well.

I think I might end up raising it up a bit more sometime soon.

 

Thats what I was gonna suggest as well to get a better coverage. Again, great job!

(take it really slow tho, to give corals enough time to acclimate to the intense LED)

 

Looks awesome. Congratualtions on a very patient and well done build

 

Thank you Cosmo!

What % intensity did you guys start at? I also have the RBs set at a max of 1500 mA.

 

My 48 led over a 55, I started at 50% blue 30% white, with the blues on 1PM till 1:30AM and the whites 2:30 to 10:30PM. I'm now up to 80% blues/violets, and 50% whites

 

awesome light!

 

Thank you pho!

Mine is pretty close to yours Cosmo.

Doing 50% RBs from 10 to 10 with a two hour fade period. The colored LEDs 11 to 9 with a 1 hour fade period and the whites 12 to 8 with no fade period.

Also wanted to add that this heat sink does a great job of keeping the light in the tank. I get no spillage, even with the LEDs without lenses.

 

Thanks for the updated pics, Mike!

(Congrats on making not only "this week's hot topics", but also the main page of 3reef! Well deserved!)

 

Thanks Shin! I'm really loving the new lights. On day one I saw PE I've never seen before. Just with I had a better camera. Will need to borrow one from a friend sometime soon.
