Does anyone have any left over LEDs and parts from a DIY build? I'm in the process of designing a pico tank and would like to build a tiny light for it.

I got a few royal blues, let me know, I'm doing much the same with a 1 gallon hex

The Wave Point lights work good on Pico sized tanks and are cheap cheap cheap..

Let me figure out how many I need and Ill get back to yall. This is going to be a small tank with just zoas and other non high light coral along with inverts. I havent got the tank or anything yet. This is going to be very different then what I have seen around here so im excited about seeing if my idea comes to life.

Try to estimate on the low side for your build, the zoas and mushroom I kept in a 8 gallon nano with led lighting did great with 4 cool whites & 1 figi blue; but, when I doubled the amount of leds over the tank to broaden my spectrum with Royal Blues and Violets, my zoas started to melt and my mushroom on the sandbed bleached and could never find enough shade.

Looking for 3 blue and 2 white LEDs with power supply (driver, etc) that will make them work. This is for a nano tank I am designing.
