All an Update on my Tank: After much waiting and researching and more researching, I ordered my lights ( Aquatic Life 48" T-5 (4) and 8 Lunar Led's) all on a single Power Cord with an advanced timer for the whole she-bang! They arrived yesterday. The packaging was top notch and no damage either on the outside or the contents. Following the instructions ...

(I hope so but ...
I was simply wondering if anyone has built their own LED lighting system. I read two articles online about it and I totally want to try it. I have a 55 gallon tank, it's a fish only system for now because I haven't gotten up to the high end lighting that is required for a reef tank.

Here are some plans that I found: http://ledsupply.com/docs/reef-tank_...structions.pdf http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...0#post14502630
So the DIY stunner strip was a failure. I gave it a chance, and the two daylight bulbs simply overpower the blue LED's. I decided on ditching the LEDs, and swapping one D-D aquablue + for an ATI blue plus. According to the PAR levels by Grimreefers, this will actually take away about 2 - 5% PAR overall, but give a nice actinic look. I tried the two daylights alone, and just couldn't force myself to like the aesthetics. A few of my mushrooms dissolved as well, so I ...
