Thanks to Joyce for finalizing my source, I have bugged him so much for ways to source LEDs. And lots many inspiration on and off forum. Especially reefcentral.

Here are few pics that I am starting off with.

Way to go Sai. You will not regret this purchase. Be careful with the soldering bit - not more than 2-3 seconds on each terminal. Start the journal , am eager to see how this shapes up. Did you manage to get the driver ?

No dint get whole driver, planning to do a DIY with Meanwell-PSU similar to Reefcentral thread. It will be on a nano tank basically.

It ll take long time, very long. I am looking for suggestions, like which shape looks nice, I am not looking for hanging designs, but want only glass fixing designs.


Help2: any idea where we normally can get 2-3" dc fans? all I find is bigger SMPS-CPU fans :x :x

Little update, went and bough some acrlyic for fixing cover.
