Mind me asking how much that set ups gonna run? Kinda wanna do it

 

[Jarred1]

it was about 240 shipped, that includes the 2 drivers, 16 LEDs, fans, heatsinks, potentiometers, and power supplies for the potentiometers. i am building a housing for the lights with stuff i found in my grandpas workshop. i think this is going to be an awesome change for my tank!

So my package from RapidLED arrived but they shorted me on an XR-E Royal Blue and a XR-E Cool White Q5, I notified them and they said they would ship it out ASAP but other than that everything looked great!

Here are some Pics:

Tomorrow I will be painting the box black and putting aluminum trim on the corners of the fixture.

Cool! 48 watts of LED should be pretty solid over the 10g
