007Bond, how deep is your tank? I just ordered three 50W 10K and blue mix panels for my 19" high and 48" long tank. I'm not sure whether or not to order lenses either.. I'm thinking about waiting to get the lights to see how they look first. Getting excited about my build!
Lvb, Hi
My tank is deep, 42" top of sand to top of water X 96L. I had planned on Cree 3W leds, with a total of 256 of them for coverage I wanted. I was going to use 60 degree optics for the penetration I needed. The 3W chips were going to be a combo of RB CW NW in a 2 to 1 ratio blue to white. My hood top is only 10" above the water. Now I need to know how do you balance the multi-chips in a parallel circuit, as you would in a 3W chip build? So you can cut back on the number of drivers that would be required.
