Panorama Pro Modules with Nano - Semi DIY

Jeffs_Reef · 08/23/2012, 07:32 PM

Looking for a little guidance and sanity check...

I've been researching LED options to fulfill the current need on my power compact lit 24Gal JBJ Nano Cube. But, I also want something easy enough to potentially migrate to a ~55 gal frameless, that I've been contemplating. Would like something modular, slick looking, and controllable.

I landed on the Ecoxotic Panorama Pro LEDs. They have a really nice fixture with several mounting options. And the LED strips, themselves, are modular with different color combos available. Of course, a little DIY work is needed to fully control ramp up/down with something like the Reefkeeper Lite.

For now, I'm looking at getting the following:
1x 12000K 19w panorama pro LED module
1x 445nm blue / magenta combo LED module
1x Lighting controller for my Reefkeeper lite
1x panorama pro 3-way splitter for the modules - one extra plug for expansion
1x panorama pro extension cable which I can splice and connect to the dimmable LED driver
1x Meanwell ELN60-24D dimmable LED driver

I was pretty much going to wire it up like this:

Although, to keep my cost of entry down as much as possible, I'm thinking of going with just one LED driver and not separate the blue and white LEDs just yet. I can do this in the future of course. And again, to keep the cost low, I wasn't planning on purchasing the fixture until I need it. I will just mount these two guys inside my hood.

Does anyone see any issues with this configuration? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just to be clear, if it wasn't obvious, I'm looking to replace my PC lights with LEDs.
