little spec V new pic 3/13/2013

[johnnytrinh]

Just Got the spec v setup. Letting it cycle with the stock light for now. Waiting for my 14 3w bridgelux led to be shipped. 7royal blue. 5 10k white. 2 ultra violet. Should be here in 2 weeks or so

A hydro Theo heater will fit the pump side

I'm running the Marina heaters, they aren't controllable but they are very slim profile and have LED indicator when it's on.

[eklikewhoa]

Question though, why so many LEDs? are you going for SPS?

I have 8 over mine and after about a week of acclimating I've yet to turn it past the halfway mark

[johnnytrinh]

That was the smallest kit they had. Probably wont connect all the led. If so it will be used at low power

[johnnytrinh]

led came in already!! They threw in a hanging kit and 2 spare led.

[eklikewhoa]

If you wanna part with any blues or uv, holla at me.

[sunkenmetal]

That looks like to much work...

[johnnytrinh]

I just tested the uv. I don't know if its that little power or it has to warm up. But it seem to have no light at all. Can barely see it.

[eklikewhoa]

Uv isn't suppose to emit visible lighting but the corals will pop/react to it and that's when you'll see it.

Did you get any extra UV or royals?

top row : w , rb , w , rb
middle rb , uv , rb , uv , rb
bottom : rb , w , rb , w

[johnnytrinh]

The gave me extra white and rb.

[eklikewhoa]

Light set up looks good! You could probably tan under it once done!

LoL

[johnnytrinh]

should I use rb or white for the middle led. Red is where the uv are going.

[johnnytrinh]

That looks like to much work...

Going to be my first time soldering. Hope I get it right.
