I put this fixture together over the holidays last year. Each cluster (2 per heat sink) is a 20W 4k white overpowered by 40W of surrounding blues. Probably way to much light for the tank, haven't turned it up past 50% yet. Might pull one heat sink out and add some UV to the others. Controlled by a coralux storm controller.
Managed to mount the fixture with two 1" conduits coming up the back of the tank and hide all the wiring internal, so no exposed wires or hanging cables.

Apologies for the bad tank pics, would take more but I don't want to document our cyano outbreak...

Cheers

Jesse

Very nice! I have 2 AI Sol blues on my standard 90 Gallon totally happy with them. I'll try and fine a decent picture and post it.

Arrow AI Sols on my 90 Gallon reef

Ok this is what I started with in 2012, 2 AI Sol Blues hung 12" above the water line.


I don't really have any decent full tank pictures, but here's a few sectional ones I took with my phone.



After seeing some of the great pictures by others, I'm going to ask Santa for a new camera!

4 Radions with 2-2 bulb T5 fixtures. Depending on the time of day, the % and K changes on the Radions.

Default Leds

Got a question for you led guys, how many 10w leds could I safely run off of a computer power supply?

I'm not an LED guy but I can tell you it will likely depend on the wattage of the PSU, as well as the amperage of the 12v rail (if that's what you're running it off of).

Depends on wattage of power supply and forward voltage of LED's. What would you use for drivers?

Find Eli's build thread, I believe he used 10 watt LEDs. I'd post on his thread or PM him for more details on his DIY.
