Conversion of a 36 inch T-5 to LED

[Jewel]

The pieces I had worked but it was too big for my tank so I removed a section, then when I put it back together it didn't work and the heat sink fell apart. I was trying to fix a fixer upper lol. Yes I gutted the Guissman but it was a 220 unit that ran extreamly hot. I did purchase another T-5 fixture but the legs broke off but I do have some hangers but I've got to faningle it to fit on the tank. It's always something as you know but The tank looks great.

Hey Jewel, glad you didn't give up on this project..  Like to see the outcome..      ;D

It'll get done someday LOL, I dislike giving up because it's a negative and The less negative things in your life, the better off I am. Hell I might just purchase a new Maxspect 27 inch 16k. we'll see, I'm still a T-5 guy though. LLoyd are you going to the Fest?

As far as I know yes...  Been quickly restocking my tank lately with mostly sps.  Will keep in touch
