The drivers are mounted in the hood and siliconed to keep out the moisture. I might be swapping them out for some DIY drivers that will support PWM dimming that I can hook up to an Arduino controller.

LED's in Biocube hood under splash guard. Aluminum U channels are about 4 inches wide and were riveted together.


Tank is actually more blue than the picture shows.



Fluval edge attached to some CPU heatsinks. This was my first try with these LED's and are overkill because they run very cool.



Full tank shot of the Fluval. Planted tanks need around 8000k so they are a combination of 6500k and 10000k
