Nice lights! Which one did you go with? Is that the 36 or 48.

The 8 bulb 48"

Nice! Hope you can do a review on your lights down the road!

^ Maybe a little overkill considering they never exceed 35% - but it looks rad!

Show Us Your LED Tanks
 

Here is my 75 gallon. I built a DIY array using a 72 led kit from Aquastyle Online. It comprises 33 Royal Blue, 3 UV on on channel and then 18 10K cool white and 18 6500K on the second channel. 60 degree optics.

The LEDs are fully dimmable by my Arduino based controller.

My next array will feature more channels with a broader array of led colour to give more controllability over the spectrum.

In the photo I have the spot light effect because I had just fed some Cyclopeeze. Once it clears the spot light effect disappears completely.

Show Us Your LED Tanks
 

^ You're colouring, whether you can see it or not.. Is not even! The lights look great, you just need it to be more even! Your LED's should cover every square MM equally throughout your tank!

Nice build though - props

hahaha that picture really is interesting now you mention it. I had just fed cyclopeze so it really gives the spot light effect. In normal conditions you dont see any spotlighting.

However the array is laid out as even as it could be. Its blue,white,blue,white down the length of each rail, and each rail is staggered. I think the gaps are from the 3 UV led's i have in the rails. You can see them in the array, as they are the ones without any optics.

The only time i see colour hotspots, is if the fish swim right at the surface, then they change colour a little. The rocks and sand have a nice blend. Again the photo does not quite show the reality.

More spectrum is needed though. Next build ;)

:wave:Interesting user name, when your in Kenora Ontario.
I just noticed it says your using no optics, so I presume the led's are looking straight down? Can you add some wider lens optics to the led's? Your tank looks really nice, a little overlap would probably make the spot lighting effect go away. My 2cents worth.

I used to live in Vancouver before moving to Ontario a couple of years back.

I do have 60 degree optics on all but the three UV leds. Ill have to take another photo without the food in the water. When the water is clear you cannot tell what type of lighting is used. There are no gaps or spotlighting.

My bad for using a bad photo :D

Crappy iPhone pic... new display setup in my living room started up Feb 2014. 48x24x24 DT with 4x Radions and basement sump system.

Fair enough.. However, you're still not getting the 100% coverage you need. If you could get some sort of TIR lens for your lights, you'd be mint.

Here's mine. DIY leds from rapidled.
Works pretty well and getting decent growth.
