I recently made the Led lighting system for my small nano reef tank.
It was very easy to do and I learned a lot out of this project.
Because of that, I want to share my works with everyone
Generally people buy the led drivers which is good and straight forward.
In my project i wanted to decrease the cost so I made the first driver to run 2 parallel strings of LEDs (12 LEDs in each string) and the second driver drives the 12 white LED in a series.
Here are the parts
22" heat sink
12 x Cree XP-G R5 cool white
2 x Cree Red
2 x Cree Green
6 x Cree XP-E Blue
14 x Cree XP-E Royal Blue
2 x ELN-60-48P
The entire project cost me around $350 but it was a great learning experience when you do something like this.
