That's why I listed that Inventronics driver above. 700mA at 50w or 75w, 0-10VDC input. Physically it should fit in the A4 case as well, roughly 6" x 1.5" x 1.5" IIRC.

I'm hoping they will still let you coustomize the novas at least I've emailed sam and asked ill post what he says when he replies.

I thought the nova weren't made until ordered so they could customize them but maybe not. All I know is it sucks and I wish they would just make a standard fee for customizing the units that made it worth there time cause money wise it would still be great for us
 
Not to pull off course but for the op...there's a seller on eBay that sells amazing LEDs. From tiny ones up to 100watts on a single wafer. There are 10watt 59/50s and the ones I've used in the past. Which are the 50 watt 12-14k.
 
Forgot to mention they are very very DIY. I made 3 separate 50 watt fixtures for about $200 after the drivers and heatsinks I made.
 
The leds in the fixture are only running at around 2W. the 75W driver would push it more to 3W, which is probably the way I'd go if changing out the drivers.

What are the dimensions of the stock driver? The dimensions of the one listed above is 5.91 × 2.66 × 1.46 (in inches) according to the link. (I'm still hoping for a apex solution without costing $80 a driver)

Yeah, it seems silly to spend $160 on drivers when you can buy another fixture at that price. (The eshine lights with controllers end up being $380 ish too.) I'm hoping for a cheaper solution myself.

Just bought my Apex yesterday... lots of Apex dealers are doing 10% off sales this weekend.
 
Im thinking of getting the taotronics 120w fixture for a couple frag tanks. How many would you recommend putting over a tank measuring 60 x 30 x 10 and how high off the water? Thanks

That is almost the same size as my frag tank (60x24x12) and I ended up buying 2 of them. If you are worried about light spread you may want 3 but from talking to Hendy he said 2 would be "perfect". I am still waiting for mine to get built and sent but I will post pics when they get here.
 
lets see some pics... there should be a few of the evergrows out there and i would really like to see some pics from someone that customized the colors with some uv/red leds weather it is on the a4 unit or the d120
