Just like they told me i am gonna tell you. This is a suggestion don't hold me responsible lol. The led units i have has 90 1 watt leds 45 blue 45 white. Its controlled with 2 on off switches and 2 plugs. i have mean-well drivers that can handle them and are dim-able, (i was gonna do a diy led system) they said it should work if i cut the plugs and splice the drivers up to the plugs then you connect the dim able wires to system using the plugs. This is the conclusion i have come to from the converstion with them and others. U have to do the math yourself im guessing but i know the led system i have can become dim-able.

cant wait to just be able to monitor from work on the iphone or computer, graphs at anytime, god forbid heater wants to kick on and stay on for no reason. boop boop boop (my computer sounds) and its off. Also has room for over flow censers and water spill censor. good to know if your at the store and something happens you can rush home and potentially save a couple gallons of water on the floor.

yes because now thats agreeing with me saying you will run home to save a couple of gallons. i know yes you could've said you could shut the pump off from your phone with the apex controller but with an overflow sensor and a reefkeeper it will just shut it off for you automatically

Mark,

You should share some of your secrets :)

Your iPhone demonstration made keep thinking about the Apex now.

Zhi, hehe I don't have any secrets if anybody want to know something about the LEDs I'm open to help ;)
Maybe some day I'll share some pics but what if people gonna start thinking I'm crazy? :)

I didn't know we talking about simply driver change I was suspecting some magician ;)

To the OP... Do you know your LEDs model? How many volts?
What kind drivers exactly you want to use?

Regards,
mark

Can anyone give more information on 'water on the floor' sensors?
They don't list them as an accessory or how to hook them up.

You have to buy I/O breakout box and there you can connect that sensor. You can go to good plumbing store and get that sensor.
