Thinking about ordering LED's for my RSM250

[JimmyR1rider]

Tagging along Jimmy! Looks good so far. I ordered Wingo's Cree Brick LEDs, not inclined to putting things together.lol Especially when Wingo has such a great deal with his. I also got a DIY from another member for my 20 gallon. Not as pretty has Wingo's, but they are working really nice. Now I've got to build a canopy to hide it.
Got to say, I LOVE the way the nems, Tyree Neon Green toadstool, and the few zoas in the little tank look!!! Even hubby loved them, so much that he agreed to spend the $$ for the LEDs for the 155 Bow Front.

Thanks Awilda. I'm really lookin forward to seeing the new lights on the RSM

Ok so here are the pictures of the rest of the build and the finished product:

Here's with everything wired up, except for the two orange wires you see hanging. Those get plugged into the dimmers that are on the other half of the hood and were attached during final hood re assembly

The way it looked from the other side before joining the hood halves again

The dimmers mounted to the top half of hood

The potentiometer posts sticking through the hood near the stock timer

With the knobs on the posts

Once I had the lights all done tested them in my bathroom

At their dimmest

At their brightest

What the finished product looks like

FTS under actinics, they are at their lowest setting. I'll post more pics each step of the way as they get ramped up

Some pics of my corals under them. Lost my stylo and monti undata due to issues that took a while to clear up but the rest of the stuff looks like it made it through ok. I have a little bubble algae that will be gone tonight. Thanks for lookin and I hope you enjoy them

 

[JimmyR1rider]

And FTS with the daylights on also. I'm happy with the way they look, especially that they're at their lowest settings.
