Heatsinks for my lighting came in today. Check these bad boys out haha. 50 x 6 inch.

Should be able to hold quite a few LEDs.

Little update on my stand progress too. I've been dragging my feet on it this week however got some trim on around the tank and one of the doors complete. They are bi-fold doors. Hope to get the rest finished today.

Haha oh boy. Well the Euro Bracing on the tank actually seems to be keeping it in check pretty good. Hopefully it wont be too much of a problem.

Wow Martin that is bad a$$. Can't wait to see more progress.

Finally making some headway with my LED build. You would think I would be on that haha.



Each square of LEDs contains 2x Blue, 2x Royal Blue then either 4x Cool White or 2x Cool White & 2x Neutral White.

With this setup there is 24/13 ratio blue to whites so just a little higher than 2/1.

The blank area left is for the overflow.

No Reds or Greens yet. I will add those later once i get this up and running.

Holy heat sink Martin, can't wait to see that beast up and running. BTW I am loving the cabinetry work. Keep those pictures coming.

Awesome job on the cabinet, some real skills there.
