nova423 October 2, 2013 Share October 2, 2013 My pr25 recently crapped out on my nanoreef and I'm thinking about stevesleds, specifically one of the 99% complete solder less kits. Suggestions for a hood or some kind of mount would be awesome. I want to do as little DIY as possible. Also I would like some of the LEDs to be UV. Right now I have SPS in the tanks and all that is there is a 5000k Home Depot bulb I bought as a band aid. See the attached for reference. Standard 10 gallon black frame pet store tank.

ctenophore October 2, 2013 Share October 2, 2013 Looks like you have it in a light fixture/housing. IME, that is a no-no as they don't allow adequate airflow to cool the larger number of LEDs compared to home depot PAR38 bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova423 October 2, 2013 Author Share October 2, 2013 I bought the Home Depot bulb today as a temporary fix. Was running the orphek prior since day one. I based the build from this thread, they used an ikea lersta lamp which I already had. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/267197-orphek-pr-25-led-pendants-now-available/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give him a heads up Quantum reefs rocks! Thanks so much, I'll come by tomorrow. The SPS I have is looking decent under the 5000k I have as the temporary fix. The zoas & ricordia don't seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
