I'm going to push back the deadline to Sunday to have your money in at a couple of people's request. I'll put the order in first thing Monday morning.
Please PM me with what you want and I can send you a subtotal minus shipping. We'll know shipping for sure this weekend.

scarin - Check the PM I sent you. Here's a rough 90G LED layout using 1"x1" C channel. It's the one I'm going to build for my own tank.
Hey JMcAZ7
Are you orderind from satisled? The blue you are ordering is royal blue and the white is the regular white and not the warm white - correct?
I was looking on satisled site and saw they have "UV Purple LED Star Emitter Single Chip 400-405nm" for $4.69 ea for 1st 5 ordered. Anyone interested in ordering those? Would they look like the ecoxotic stunner which are "6 watt Stunner LED 403nm Ultraviolet ". If so I would like to order a couple to try if ok with you JMcAz7 and if anyone else would like to try them.

Yep, I'm ordering from satisled.com, and we can order some UV LEDs if you'd like. Hypothetically they should look the same as the Ecoxotic ones. Did you just want 2?
If the ecoxotic is only 6 watts and the satis are 3 w each then should be close with 2 LEDs right? Maybe 3 if I wanted to run them on a seperate driver? Any thots? Is there a cheap driver that could run 2 or 3 of these that would still be cheaper than the $50 stunner (+$20 power supply)? Or maybe run them with my blues on same driver? I am just putting them over a 10 gallon. I've read that they are pretty cool looking.
I looked on satisled and saw that they have a lot of small drivers. It looks like most of them you can't buy just one. You have to get 5 or 10. Is that right?
Also with the small drivers do I just hook 2 wires to the + and - of the LEDs and the other side to an electrical outlet 2 prong plug?

would this be a good one? Looks like I'd have to buy 10?

That's not bad, considering 10 of them cost less than 1 meanwell does. I've never used it, but it's worth a shot.
Or this and I buy 10 for $10 total and use 1 driver per LED? Do you use a wall wart or regular plug or option for either?

That would work. You could use a wall wart, but it would have to be 12VDC and at least 2.5A output, or a 24VDC/1.25A if you could find one. Are you only looking to drive 12 LEDS?

Most of the smaller drivers are 12 or 24VDC, so you would need a power supply for them. Like you asked before, a big enough wall wart would work.
JMcAz7 - thanks for aswering all my questions. Really appreciate it.
Do you think it would be a better option to get the 1w UV purple leds and then use 6-9 of them and then use this driver?

Or use the 2-3 of the 3W LEDs and get 10 of these and use one per LED:

With these drivers how do you power them? Wall wart or regular wall plug?
