Last year a bunch of my friends on youtube helped me win LEDGroupBuy's contest. The prize was $100 towards goodies over at the LEDGroupBuy's store. I have been trying to put together a plan for the prize but everything didn't seem fitting. Finally, I decided to upgrade my 10g to a 29g and...

I'm hoping someone with more experience with DIY LED projects can help me sort out any potential gaps in my plan (or better yet say there aren't any). I'm hoping to order the parts soon so I can get the fixture built well before the June 8th meeting. I have some experience with circuits and...

Yesterday when I was at HOT, I saw that Deep Blue now has an LED fixture called "SolarFlare". It seems a little pricey at first but it runs 3 watt LEDs. According to Deep Blue, it has only been on the market for six months. Today at Petsmart I saw that Aqueon also has an LED fixture. The...

Heres a few photos for those that asked: XP-E leds with a 1100ma driver. This is my newest one. Lows and HD didn't have enough of the nylon leds mounted on intel cpu coolers. (from ebay for $26 for a lot of 12) Driver and dimmer mounted on the rack...

I'm confused about LED lights. Can they be used for planted tanks? Can someone give me an easy way to compare the two? I want to light a 65 gal planted tank with the equivalent LED light compared to another tank t-5 lights which has approx 60- 75 watts. Thanks
