Grizz's DIY Heat sink & LED build / showing all colors

[The Grizz]

So tonight Martin dropped by to help trouble shoot why I could not get my XPG's to fire up & if it wasn't for my blurred vision from my head cold I would have seen it right off. One of the connector wires was not completely seated in its clip & took Martin less then 5 min to find & solve, Thanks Martin.

Here's a few more pics.

Red's / Green's @ 1%



Everything but second set of XPG's ( forgot we needed 2 drivers for these )



One heat sink totally lit.



Temporary mounting of the drivers & EVG boards on the end of the cover. On the new tank they will be up in the top cupboard hidden from sight. The wife will probably make me build something to cover them with but for now this is the way it's going to be.




Just need to put the optics on the Whites/Blues & slide in the acrylic shields then it can go on to the 165 gal.

Thanks Mike & Eli, I was thinking of trying it without optic's first but man its really bright & I can only trust my Profilux controller as to what % it is at. With the optics they seem a little dimmer but you know me I will end up trying it without the optics .

Hope to have it up on the tank by the weekend & hopefully I feel better to because I have to do something with the load pump that will probably involve some replumbing.

Grizz, the built is amazing. looking forward to see it on the tank. That's gonna be a lot of light for the 165, what kind of corals are you planning to keep?
