Not overly difficult to do. As Snaz says check out nano-reef.com. They have a bunch of LED builds and one of the members is a great resource for anything LED related. I am planning a 48" LED array for my 75 gallon tank. I have almost all the parts now.

Looks great. Do you have a build thread at nano-reef.com?

Wow. that looks awesome!. Did you do an even split of the of the blue and white? ive been thinking about doing this to cut electricity costs and help slow down evaporation. how have you been finding these things since making the switch?

i don't have an build thread on nano reef. As for heat and evap. The LED's make a big difference i dont much evap and the heat is very stable.

My setup is run on two drivers so yes you can adjust both the blue and white separately. Also you can dim the white and blue to specific color.

Do you have a rough estimate of what your build ended up costing?

Thanks!
