http://www.rapidled.com/standard-75g-tank-dimmable-kit/ did you buy this kit and then add a typhoon to each unit or one typhoon to control both? I appreciate your help

Can you show pictures of your light fixtures and how you wired them if its not to inconvenient for you? I am looking at building 2 of my own.

Thanks for the advice.. The first thing I am watching out for is the tank/stand.. Once I get those then I will know what direction to go.

Wow. Thanks

[Building LEDs to get T5 growth.]

I don't know how far you want to go with this, but the Meanwell LDD's only cost about $6 each and can do 15 LEDs each if you use a 48V power supply. They are PWM dimmable. You can get an Arduino Uno (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11224) and a separate PWM shield (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10615) to have 16 channels of dimming and maybe do a sun-up-sun-down effect.

can you explain how to do that using those?

[New to Salt Water/WAMAS]

75 or 90 I'd like to do..

[New to Salt Water/WAMAS]

Where would you guys recommend to purchase a tank from? Or know if a company seeks used tanks?

[New to Salt Water/WAMAS]

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I wanted to introduce my self and say hello to everyone here! I am a cop and live in Fredericksburg, VA. I have always loved reef aquariums and aquatic life. I am finally in a place and time in my life that I can start up a salt water reef tank!

 

The forums here have given me an amazing amount of information and over the next several months I will be setting up a 90 gallon tank :-) I am putting together my list now of stuff I need/want and will be starting to purchase soon. The DIY LED lighting is def. a project I cannot wait to start as well.. Well I look forward to chatting with you all :-)

 

Oh and yup I am a paid member of the forum :-D
