Shoot me a PM on what you got. Possibly try the fans too.

I've been planning my LED build for the last few months. Now that I've sold my aquarium, once I get my 60 gal cube I'll start building.

If I sell my own drivers, of course it's better than commercially sold products! Just my opinion!

My driver selection would be the Meanwells. They're IP67 as well........,basically means its waterproof!

I believe Steves drivers require a 24vdc external open frame power supply. Not very safe near moisture especially salt water!

Much safer with the self contained Meanwells.
