New Aquastyle Solarlux led controller kit/build

That's a comforting thought. I will give more demanding corals a try one day but want to master the easy stuff first. I have to say though that after fragfest today I am really liking the idea of loads of zoa\"s and ricordiA!!! I was so sad not to be able to take anything home lol... Hopefully it will be back next year!

The Crees are way nicer though!!! A bit pricey but way brighter I hear l. I may add two t5ho if I am going to do SPS in the future though but I  am sure I will be good for softies and some moderate light corals.

you should really come by and see my 100% CREE setup for sps.  Even Darryl was amazed at the colour I get.  No t5 needed

Perhaps when I am up and running and your selling some frags I can come take a look?

Definitely.  Even my frag tank is 100% led now.  Everything I had in my tank was LED grown and I sold 95% of what I brought, so something must be right!

Good job on everything. Also working on a LED DIY. What did you use to glue lenses to LED's? I have J-B weld on hand.

Thanks! No glue needed, they just fit over the little diodes quite snugly. I have heard that it is suggested that you use the heatsink plaster to attach the lenses. I am not sure about jb weld on though as don't those product fuse the plastics together as apposed to gluing them together? I wonder what affect that would have on the leds? Maybe someone can chime in who has glued theirs on???
