I just built this for a fellow reefer who lives locally to me. I do believe the final price on parts was under $90.


6 x xpg blue
4 x xpe cool white
1 dimmable driver with built in pot
2 x xre royal blue LEDs driven by 7 volt 500ma charger plug.
2 x. 2" x 10" aluminum Angeline flat


Video of it working http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...s/cdc5c3cf.mp4

Pics of the build.












Used another 12v to 120v charger plug to run fans off of one of the stock hood switches.

Awaiting pics as soon as it it goes on the tank.....

Here are some of the pictures I took after the install. The color are amazing and I love that I can adjust the blues and whites now. Thank you BTLDReef for this amazing DIY LEDs fixtures. The corals are definitely loving it and their colors are just amazing.





And here's some of the pictures of the corals. I just love how they look now and some colors has changed too.
