Hi All! I've been reading the posts in this forum for months and finally took the plunge and purchased the 650. This is an upgrade from our current 110. We're super excited to get started and should take delivery within a few weeks.
I have been researching LED options and have been reading through all of your builds and the mods you have done. I would really like to use the existing canopy as we love the look of the complete matching system and its one of the reasons we went with this tank.
I like what Nob has done but would like to have the light more evenly distributed. Has anyone installed a DIY retrofit kit from one of the online suppliers such as Steve's or rapid led? I was thinking about installing all LEDs in the center portion of the canopy and using a few of the t5's on the front and back units to cut the light and heat from 10 to 4-6 t5's. I'd rather put the money into LEDs rather than a chiller and the electric bill.
Any thoughts?
