Dear all,
I finished the build of the lamps for my frag tank and main tank.
My main Tank (as a room divider) has the following size: 51" x 31" x 23" (Water Depth).
My propagation tank has the following size: 48" x 20" x 16" (water depth).
For the Frag Tank I used two 165 W Mars Aqua and for the Main Tank three of them.
LED Swapping on all five modules:
- All Warm white, red and green went out.
- The four warm whites in the edges were substitute by 10.000K LEDs
- The other two warm whites were substitute by 20.000K LEDs
- The green and red LEDs were substituted by 420nm LEDs
- I removed all lenses
Extra Wiring between the modules:
- In order not to have to attach the power lines to all modules separate I connected the Modules between each other with an own power cord (5 lines)
- With a multi tool I cut the holes into the frames in order to get the cable through
- The connection I did with crimping
- For the main tank I also directly connected the power cord with crimps in order not to have the plugs point out at the top
Mounting of lights
- In order to mount the lights with steel cable from ATI to the ceiling I made a frame out of black aluminum profiles (30x30mm)
- I removed the four golden hooks of the original mounts
Attached you can see some pics of the light of my propagation tank.
For the Main tank I plan to swap the fans because I would like to have something significant more silent.
Do you have a tip which ones to use?
Thank you.
Regards,
Christian
