got it all working, will post pics tomorrow

Ok on the blue strings i will put 1amp fuses before I parrellel them. Just want to make sure. And BIG thanks for all the help guys. I kinda knew what to do but just wanted to be sure before I blew up these LEDs!!! I do have an extra driver and maybe ill get another but for now Ill try 2.

I went to Rapid LED in Oakland.

Im not sure how to put a fuse on the blues. If I put a 1000ma fuse on it it will blow cause im running @ 1300mA(650mA to each string). Im unsure how to do this. Should I put a resistor of some kind on each blue string to only allow 650mA? Is this possible?

So do I run a fuse each series string or after I parrellel them? And what amp fuse should I run down each string (XPG and XPE)?

I thought if you run 2 series string of 9 each and parrellel them it will cut the power to about 650mA. So im guessing I run the drivers at max and the leds will run at about 600-650mA. Is this right? So if this is true I dont have to worry about blowing these LEDs cause I will be driving them...

I would see Keith in Sacramento about a custom glass tank with external overflow. He does Staphire, regular glass, Euro Brace and Rimless.

Can anyone help me figure how much power to run to my leds. Below are the LEDS and drivers im using. 18 XPG cool white (running 2 series strings of 9 in parrellel) 18 XPE royal blue (running 2 series strings of 9 in parrellel) 2 meanwell 60-48d And I just noticed when looking at...

Thats the data for the 50watt the light is the 100watt we are talking about.

Just an update! Starting over with new rockscape. Also having a LFS hold all my SPS while I cycle again. Decieded with a lower profile scape for better light coverage.

Thats cool all USA made! I wouldnt mind supporting them. But until they release that new light that you can control the color temp I might just go with Ecoxotic.

50watt ones I think come with drivers. You can get the dimmable drivers for about 70 bucks. The price on the Eco site for the dimmable driver is just a meanwell driver 100 watt.

no idea it isnt my tank just a picture Ecoxotic sent me

So ive been going back and forth with Ecoxotic asking them for pictures so I can decied if I want to buy this product and finally got a few pics. Just wanted to share with anyone intrested in the product. This unit also can be dimmed! They also told me that the 1 unit can cover a 36x24 area.

Both companies make great cameras! I like the Nikon cause their cameras come with good kit lenses unlike Canon. You can go to www.dpreview.com to see pros and cons of both cameras. Nikon D7000 and Nikon D90: Key differences Higher resolution sensor (16.2MP vs. 12.3MP) Choice of...

Just an updated photo of the tank after 1 month of setting up.

Funny thing is I just started this tank and I feel it isnt long enough! Hahaha what am I to do?

After a year of thinking I didnt need a bigger tank I decieded to get one. I know its a 200 or 300g but its perfect for me.....for now! Below is the equipment so far I have and a picture of the system running for the past 2 weeks. LeeMar 36x24x20 Staphire Eurobracing 37 inch stand (kinda...

Just wanted to introduce myself. Ive been doing saltwater tanks for about 18 years now and just really got into reef tanks the past year. I dont condisder what I was doing in the early 90's as reefing cause the lighting was horrible back then and expensive. I tried to keep lots of LPS back then...
