I wanted to keep the moon lighting, so I mounted one on each side using existing plastic posts, and I mounted the third light in the center of the heat sink.
The wire for that LED came out the bottom of the plastic housing, so I had to open it up and reroute it to the side so it would sit flush.



And yes, that is the fan/LED board. I removed all the little resistors and capacitor, and just completed the circuit so I could wire up a 12v AC adapter and still keep the sockets.







BLUE ONLY


BLUE 100%, WHITE 50%


BLUE 100%, WHITE 100%

Cree XP-E Blue and White.
There's currently 10 of each.
I was thinking of bumping up each color by 3.
I currently have them on seperate drivers, and have a POTS hooked up to control the intensity for each color.

I also used the nano customs heatsink.

If I recall, there were Royal blue.
The other thing I have yet to do is buy a 10v adapter.
The meanwell drivers can be dimmed with a 10v, and I'm using 9.
So the 9v will only give me 90% of what's capable.

What Beardy said.
You have to be patient.

I know there's some reef accelerators, but I couldn't speak to the success of them.
