Diy led!

Need help with this. Saw this page

4 Foot Tank Kit - Modular LED.ca

How difficult are these 2 put together? I don't doubt i can handle it just curious.

Is this worth the price? And will it be enough for my tank? Will i be restricted at all as far as corals?

Anyone have pics of it assembled and set up running on reef tank?

And it says 450$ but then you have to select a dimmable or non dimmable driver that kicks it up to like 650. Then 45 or 60 degree lenses bumps it up more. Jeeze

 

That seems like a lot of $$ :/

Have you looked at RapidLED or BoostLED?

 

seems expensive to me, i mean compared to Rapid LED.

 

Honestly i know nothing about the led world as far as parts i would need to build a kit or anything like that. I would have no problem assembling something but what degree lenses to get or dimmable or non dimmable drivers? no clue! lol

 

Save your money and get RapidLED.

Rapid LED

 

What would i need for a 48" tank?

I mean is there just a complete kit? Or would i be better off piecing a kit together? Dimmable or non dimmable? 40 60 80 degree lenses?

 

I got shipped their system as a custom build! Easy to put together i guess, but they have their blues and whites on 1 piece, really limits your options! plus if you miss a part or need another, enjoy your $20 shipping for a .$50 piece of wire!

You can get a better product for less cash with rapidled or boosted!IMO

BTW, the modular led got shipped back and i have rapidled over my tank!

 

I would PM Cosmo, he just did a Rapid install.

 

Get their 36 led system, or if ya wanna be real safe, their 48! I have their 48 system over mine with a typhoon controller from boost running my blues at 60% and whites at 35% and prob won't ramp them up a whole lot more!

 

Can you post a pic of you tank with the leds on it cosmo? just gotta figure out what kit i need to get i think it is the way to go just because of the electricity savings lol
