Project Info: 100W/6500K LED project to replace 250W MH Reef Aquarium Light. Pieces: LED: Dealextreme www.dealextreme.com Driver: Dealextreme www.dealextreme.com Heatsink Grease: www.dealextreme.com Heatsink: HeatsinkUSA www.heatsinkusa.com Project Benefit: 100W LED lasts 10 years compared to 6 Months for a good quality MH Lamp. This LED “Appears” as bright as my old 250W MH (which used 285W each) Between bulb replacement and electrical savings, this should save 0/year. Not to mention that LEDs DO create heat, but nothing like MH lamps. I was able to turn off my 1/4hp chiller with no overrun!! Notes: When it comes to reefkeeping “Bright” is not necessarily “Right” – color temp is very important. Time will tell if this setup works as well as I think it will. It looks Great – and I love the shimmer! My Aquarium page: www.guarriello.net Although I last updated this page in 2002 there are some pretty good DIY projects Maybe I’ll get around to updating soon – but YouTube is so much easier! Pre-assembled Units: I’m considering selling a pre-assembled unit for hood retrofit. This would be a unit that is protected in a water-tight enclosure with a clear lid and thermal switch to protect the LED. The heatsink would be on the outside and it would have to be mounted in a hood with a cooling fan. I would provide it with a US 120V power cord and mounting hardware. Cost would be around 0. If anyone is interested, please post below.

This Is the second video of my 55 gallon soon-to-be reef tank that is currently about 4 weeks old. this is a regular all glass aquarium (aqueon) tank and stand with a eshopps hang on back overflow going into a 10 gallon home-made DIY sump. This version is dubbed over with my voice because i have had requests to explain how my system works… any q’s just ask! equipment: – Hang On Back Overflow -DIY 10 Gallon Sump (and all the tubing and fittings) -CPR hang On Back Refugium – Mag 7 return pump -Hydor Koralia 3 -aqua clear powerhead -visa therm heater -and a 216 watt oddysea t5 ho light fixture – Coralife Superskimmer (Super Skimmer) 125 Livestock (for now) -90 Lbs Of Fiji Live Rock -60 Lbs Of ARAG-ALIVE Hawaii black live sand -2 sergeant major damsels – some hermit crabs and snails) – a feather duster – and 1 torch coral (that i saved when i sold the nano cube) -A colony of green eyed zoas – dome polyps -and a mated pair of false percula (ocellaris) clownfish THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING IT OUT! Ratings And Comments Are Greatly Appreciated!
SOMEONE ASKED ME TO UPLOAD A QUICK VIDEO OF THE EQUIPMENT I USE SO HERE IT IS. NOTHING TOO FANCY, ALL HOME DONE, TAKEN FROM MY OLD AQUARIUM WITH FEW UPGRADES, BUT IF IT WORKS WHY MESS WITH IT. I ALLWAYS BOUGHT EQUIPMENT OVERRATED FOR MY SMALL TANK AS I NEW I WOULD UPGRADE SOMEDAY. TANK IS ALL ONE CURVED GLASS PIECE 100 OR SO GALLONS. 80 LITRE HOME MADE SUMP WITH REFUGIUM COMPARTMENT CONTAINING CAULERPA. 300 WATT HEATER IN SUMP. MAY UPGRADE TO 500 WATT OR ADD ANOTHER DEPEND ON RUNNING COSTS. LIGHTS KEEP TEMP WELL UP AND TAKES LONG TIME FOR TEMP DROP IN SUCH LARGE VOLUME OF WATER. CIRCULATION PUMP IS AN AQUA MEDIC OCEAN RUNNER 6500 USED WITH AN 7000 LPH OVERFLOW BOX AND A PUMP TO KEEP SIPHON ACTIVATED 4 X 54 WATT T5 LIGHTING 2 MARINE WHITE AND 2 ACTINIC. COME ON AND OFF BETWEEN DUSK DAWN SIMULATOR. 2 X 40 WATT T8 MARINE WHITE TUBES CONTROLLED BY EXXO TERRA LIGHT CYCLE UNIT FOR DUSK DAWN SIMULATION. LED MOONLIGHTS TURN ON WHEN MAIN LIGHTS OFF. REFUGIUM LIGHT ON WHEN MAIN LIGHTS OFF. SKIMMER IS AN INSTANT OCEAN 800. PH METER. FLUVAL 205 EXTERNAL FILTER FOR PHOSPHATE REMOVER MATERIAL AND ACTIVATED CARBON. SOMETIMES I ALSO PUT SOME FILTER WOOL IN FOR A FEW DAYS TO CLEAN OUT THE DIATOMS. EXTRA CIRCULATION PROVIDED BY RESUN WAVEMAKER. ALL IN ONE TIMER TO CONTROL THE ABOVE. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS NOT ALL THE MOST EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT AND GADGETS AVAILABLE BUT IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME. HAS DONE SO FOR OVER 2 YEARS ON SMALLER TANK SO HOPEFULLY WILL BE OK ON THIS ONE. DONT REALLY ADD MUCH …
