Hey guys! 08205 SJ represent!

Mornin' y'all. Found out about this site through the channels @ NJRC.

Okay, been in the hobby for a few years now and for some reason, the feel to keep on upgrading to larger tanks seems to be a normal thing for me. However, I have not been able to upgrade to my dream tank as I live on the second floor of a condo. Hopeful of moving into an actual house, I've been trying to learn as much as I can to do it right once I'm able to afford a house

I DIY a lot in what I can, here's a long thread on my 75 gallon tank build I started a couple years back, and yes; I'm ready for another upgrade!

Nice reef! I skimmed through your thread on RC. Can you explain more about the LED's you made? Thanks.

the LED's I used were the ones you put on vehicles (aka fast+furious LOL) You can get them at any automotive parts store now, super cheap. all you have to do is wire them to a 12V powersource, and you are good to go. I've also seen some people use those 12V LED ropelights, they look like a better option since the housing is completely sealed. I don't think I'm placing LED's for moonlights with the new tank, I have the single LED that came with the tunze multicontroller.
