LED Build Bio Cube 29 Pictures

Doughboy911 · 06/08/2011, 04:55 PM

Sorry I didn’t take more pictures, but this was my LED build for my Bio Cube 29.
15 Cree XR-e q5 cool white
15 Cree XR-e royal blue
2 TRC-040S070DS drivers
1 nano tuners bio cube 29 heat sink
2 nano tuners 10k slide pods
1 aluminum control box
2 80mm fans
Par reading at 18 inches out of water was 262 par
LED’s came from rapid led and reefredlights

This is how I did my layout

Keeping my wires clean and testing every connection

Fixture mounted in stock hood

Control box

All connections to the control box are on quick disconnect plugs. All solder connections I used shrink tube.
I did start the light out soft and tried to acclimate my corals to the light over a few weeks but I did lose a few.

at a shop called Chesters electronics . the have two stores one in Kenosha, WI and another someplace in Florida . I think Parts express also sells them . I think you can find it on ebay . do a search on "prodject box" I would have liked to have bought a box just a little larger for more ventalation . The box gets warm but not hot so i may drill some vent holes .
