Dual Lumia 5.1 Build Questions

I plan to build a dual Lumia chip system with a Maker's heatsink, Maker's controller, and Maker's driver. How long of a heatsink is required for a dual chip solution? Can you guys recommend me a parts list?

Which parts would I need to make sure everything works, this is to light a clam and SPS heavy 24x24x24 tank.

I had inquired once about the same thing. Here is the response that I received from LED Group Buy.

"The 6" heatsinks will work fine, but you can't mount the MakersDriver to them, you need 12" heatsinks to do that."

FlyPenFly,

What length Maker's Heatsink did you decide on for your Dual Lumia 5.1 build?

I'm thinking about doing the same Dual build using a Maker's Heatsink.

Thanks...
