Zip ties to attach LEDs?

[Divan_24]

Do nylon washers used with screws receive any damage from the heat of the emitter? Never used them before

Just use thermal paste, it's not too hard to get a razor under the LED and pop it off the heatsink.

Edit: How often do you plan on removing them? Using zip ties would end up probably killing the LEDS from the heat build up.

Nylon hardware is fine.

I used the epoxy on mine, came out pretty good. Has any one noticed a increase in algae after switching to LEDS

I followed everyone's advice and just used epoxy.

Pfcreed I had a cyano outbreak when I added WW but it was gone when I got rid of the nutrients
