LED Light (DIY built)
Originally built for a Solana, but I sold the Solana and now I need to sell the light. I've attached some photos of when my husband was building it and one of it on the tank. We spent at least $600 on this and would like to get about $300.
Frame is aluminum square tubing and has holes for height adjustment. LED's are aluminum apoxy'd to the heat sink which is approx. 8" x 12". Originally the fixture was mounted to the back of the tank stand we built for the Solana
Bulbs: There are 12 white 3.7W cree LED's and 12 royal blue 3.7W cree LED's. There are also two white 3.7W cree LED's for the refugium lighting and 1 royal blue 3.7W cree LED for a moonlight. The moonlight, refugium light and main lighting have separate power sources which enable you to customize timing. A piece of plexi glass protects the bulbs from any splashing.
There are six buck pucks to drive the LED's. Each has an adjustable potentiometer so that you can adjust the output on the lights.
I have had all sorts of corals under this light, clams and RBTA's. It would be great on another small tank like a Solana, Biocube, etc. Everyone that has seen the light when I had it on the tank, loved the color it put out. I've attached a before and after photo of my rainbow monti...about 2 1/2-3mths of growth.
