Let start off with the light while waiting for the bulkheads and other in the mail.

Heatsink cut/sand/cleaned.

Thermal adhesive.

The LEDs. (Left to right) RB,CW,Violet,RB, and CW.

Found this power adapter in the garage, should able to drive 4 LEDs. Output 12v, 1A.

Let the test begins.

It's alive!! lol

 

[letoan]

With violet.

OK, time for PAR reading on this light.

Halfway down the water.

At the bottom.

That is awsome, been watching all the different tank builds, cant wait to see how you guys are gonna fill em up. What are you going to do with the existing light? Dont you have to use that somehow?

I'll follow the rule It's going to light up the refugium section of the 10g sump.

Very cool, this is what I am planning to do for lighting as well but have no clue about LED's. Hopefully mine will work as good as yours!

Thanks Mike. I'm no pro but if you need help with anything, just let me know.

I'm definitely going to watch this one unfold!

Update:

Finished the sump (I guess the flow will be gentle on this one so I didn't do any bubble traps).

Overflow and return hole drilled.

 

[letoan]

Playing around with the rock. The idea was invisible overflow and return.

These water pitchers going to be the container for top off water.

 

[letoan]

Stand assembled. Perfect fit for the 10g sump.

[letoan]

Overflow and return/flow. Can you see it?

Clearance of the overflow and the lid. I don't really like how it look, planning to flush the pipe with the lid and make some teeth on the pipe to prevent unwanted things suck into it, what do you think?

Top view.
