Now that I have been slowly stocking up on SPS Corals for my aquarium I felt that I didn't have enough lighting. So I placed an order with Rapid LED for two Rapid LED RetroFit Constant Current LED Lighting Kits (I already had two kits from my previous setup). I now have 4 separate Rapid LED RetroFit Constant Current LED Lighting Kit running on 4 Drivers with 6 LED a piece for the equivalent of 250 watts of Meta Halide Lighting. This made such a difference to me. I also still have the ability to add an additional 32 leds if I want.

    That's awesome, Are you planning on building something around the lights to hide the fixtures?

    Keep it up, and you'll become an expert. Then when someone needs theirs fixed, you can troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

    I am planning on closing the unit up but I still have some things that I want to add so far the time being it will stay open. Quite honestly is doesn't even look like an eyesore to me because when family and friends come over their always like "wow that looks awesome... what is it"? So it is always a great conversation piece. Plus the reflector are 40 degrees so their is no bleedout of light, so the enclosure would be primarily for aesthetics.

    Nice work. Do you have them mounted to a laminated MDF board? What size aquarium is that?

    Yes, that is what they are mounted on, straight from Home Depot. Also my aquarium is a 40 gallon breeder.
