DIY LED Using 10 Watt Arrays

[mike31154]

A little over a month now running the fixture. Not completely finished, but I've stained the wood & half attached some of the trim to make it a little nicer to look at. Still need to figure out how to cover the top without adding a bunch of weight & restricting air circulation to the heatsink/fans. Something thin & flexible I can sort of bend into a shallow dome perhaps.

Everything appears to be adjusting nicely to the LEDs, with no apparent issues, other than the green algae. Since this fixture is providing more blue light for a longer period of time, the green stuff is taking it on the chin & tank is looking better every week. All coral including several sps bits continue to grow. Will take more time to get a better idea of the rate, but just the fact that they're doing well is a good sign.

Latest photos. Fixture is dimmed down for morning dawn effect. Things get much brighter when I crank up the voltage.
