I have always found it to be less work than the bigger systems, at least from the bigger systems ive seen. But i guess the parameters in a big tank stays more stable thus keeping corals becomes easier. Nothing a little 2 part dosing cant fix on dosers.

Thanks! Nothing to be nervous about if you do it right, the cable thats holding the bulb is screwed right into the ceilings drywall so it there to stay and quite stable unless someone decides to tug on it.

i thought i might put this on

Normal running temp for the CooLED at room temp of 23 C is about 50~55C

just by simply adding a computer fan to help heat dissipate, the temp is down to around 37~39



Pic here you can see the fan and the light operation.

The heat sink, pluse a little bit of active cooling decrease the running temp but a lot .
