Excellent. If overheating is not an issue you should get five years before the emitters begin to wink out. Bet you wish you did it sooner eh? :biggrin:

Nice build Toolman, any heat issues as of yet? I will be looking at building the same setup for my 90 gallon. How was Aquastyle to deal with, would you recommend them for the LED parts required?

Yeah I wish I got them earlier for sure :)

Nope no heat issues at all. Aquastyle was great. I was expecting fedex delivery from them but they shipped HK post instead... which gets here by Canada post. He gave me a great explanation that fedex I would most likely have to pay duty. I got the package and not a dim of duty paid and it got here faster than I expected. I believe it shipped in 2 days and got Here in less than 2 weeks. There was even extra leds and lens which I put away for now. I would recommend them and I got a few more sets of leds to build for my friends after they saw my lights.

I just got my 2nd aquastyle order today arrived at my door via Canada post within eight days of placing the order, packing was top notch and well marked fragile.

My first order arrived via FedEx and one week after FedEx sent me a bill for$18. Lame.

Again I got three extra LEDs and tester. Great service and great product. Recommended!
