I had a similar thing happen with my firefish jumping out of my 45 gal when I was doing a water change. I moved the screen top back to get a hose in there to drain some water. Went off to dump the water and clean the return pump and came back about 15 mins later to find the firefish about 5...
You would have to use a controller that puts out a 0-10 volt signal for the meanwells. The controller that rapidled sells works well. http://www.rapidled.com/ddc-01-pwm-controller/
Oh man sorry to hear! It sucks to lose anything nevermind the whole tank. I lost half of my 125 this past summer from the heat. Good luck with the new tank and the house!
Yes you can set the intensity on each channel but only in manual mode. So in manual mode you won't get the ramping up down of the LEDs like you would in the preset modes but IMO that feature isn't that great with this controller. You can also control the color, somewhat, by setting the current...
Just added 2 reds to the fixture. Some of the corals lacked some color since switching from the halide. The red seams to make a huge difference in bringing out the colors again.
Yes only 2 drivers. One for the blues and one for the whites. You don't have to have a driver on all three channels. It would be nice if they had the option to ramp up the leds on different channels but then again it is only $59! For that price it is still better then using the meanwell Ds...
The controller is pretty cool. It allows you to control the individual channels up to 3 and a total of 9 drivers so you can set the overall color. And it also has 3 daylight programs that ramp up the leds over a set time per program. That is ok but doesn't allow you to set the individual...
We wanted to bring the 45 gal upstairs where there is no air conditioning and didn't want to deal with the tank getting too hot this summer from the existing halide so I gave in and built another LED setup for this tank. Now all three tanks are running diy builds. I also wanted to keep the...
Thanks! So far he's doing good. Was a little slow on taking food but now he is destroying mysis.
Yes they are! It was a toss up between the pygmy or a flame hawk....the pygmy won!
