diy led

Many of the older members in SE MI know me from years ago. I pulled out of the hobby in 2009 due to the expansion of my family from one to four. Recently I have been looking into setting up a tank again. I have most of the equipment I need on hand, but I would like to do my own DIY LED...

Can anyone suggest a cheap LED light for my sump. I have an area that is 12"x12"x12" that has live rock and the drain from the main tank. I think i'm going to move a smaller fish into this compartment and then maybe do just mushrooms or something. I prefer it to be more on the blue side vs...

Hello everyone, ultra noob here. I was given a free biocube tank but no lighting and by the looks of it, I can easily save quite a bit of money by making my own. (It would be dimmable, have color spectrum control and night/day timer) I'm very technically proficient but new to the reef...

I'm thinking about doing some DIY LED lighting. I did some research and I think I'm all set on how to make it but I'm just not sure what the beam angle of the LED's should be and what kind of power supply I should use. I seen some people have posted LED builds with multichip LED's on this forum...

Hey guys, I'm not very tech savvy and have been using a Finnex Ray2 LED for my main 55-gallon, but will be acquiring a 29 biocube soon. I plan on growing coral so it will need a retrofit light, but don't want to spend a ton. I've been looking around...would either of these options work...

I have the 29G Biocube RapidLED LED retrofit kit and the lights randomly went out. I tested everything and found that the voltage to the LED's is good (41.8v DC), I am not reading any Amps, i have only been able to read 15 microamps. This is on both drivers, i thought this might be too much of...
