    Yeah, I was thinking pacu would be a good choice too. I ordered some the other day.

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Thank you. So actually, I'm building 3 panels, but with that info maybe I should get more heatsink and run fewer per panel. I already have purchased 12x 3070s and 12x 3590s and 3x heatsinks. My space is 12'x40". I have some kessils I was going to supplement the ends with. I also have a 9' light...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Now that I've got 1400mA worked out for the 3070s how far from the edge can I go? Is the 1.25" still acceptable? It's gonna have the single pure20 fan mounted in the middle. I was thinking I would mount the drivers close to the fan for air ducting effect.

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Yes, I do want to push for a larger area, 40"x36". I think I may go with 1050mA on the 3590s in the middle and 1400mA with the 3070s on the out side. Keeps with my ramping up plan.

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Yes, the arcs are traced from the holders. They are on nice and clean. I will move the 3590s in .5".

    What do you think of the 1.25", should I push them in a bit?

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    No, I've read many posts on here and 1400ma isn't the only driver in that series people around here use. @REALSTYLES used 2x c700a on his 8x cob unit. That is the one I based my build off. He says he is running his dialed back to 350ma too, for heat control of his room. I want to spend my driver...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    I am building an 8 cob panel. 4 cxa 3070 3000k z2 and 4 cxa 3590 5000k cb. The 5000k will begin veg dimmed. Turned up after a time. Followed by the 3000k dimmed and then increased. I decided on running mean well hlg drivers, I think I like the c1050a. I have read so many scenarios I need some...

    K.i.s.s. And get that extra junk outta there. Which power are you using? What do you think of 1.25" from the edge? Is it too close Thanks for the info

    Aquaponics- the Dream build.

    The hang ups I've run into so far are; 6.2 pH is likely too low for tilapia 68*F is kind of cold for the tilapia- they may survive but growth and food consumption will likely be low flowering nutrient demands. Alternatives: Pacu will tolerate the lower pH but again growth may...

    What are you soldering? Doesn't that adapter allow you to connect to the rhino at either 3v or 12v? Which voltage are you running at?

    REALSTYLES 6th DIY CXA 3590 5000k DB bin

    Started receiving parts this last week. I've got 12 cxa 3070, 12 cxa 3590, 3 10x24 heat sinks, cob holders, 3 pure 20 fans, 3 rhino ac adapters. I started mapping out screw hole placement. First question is- would 1.25" from the edge of the heat sink be too close to mount the cobs?

    Aquaponics- the Dream build.

    I am currently setting up an Aquaponics system of approximately 600+gallons. It consists of a 220g planted aquarium, a 2x3 flood and drain table, 2x 140 sumps, and 7x 30g water softener tanks. The flood and drain table is for leafy greens and initial clones. The 30g tanks will have two plants...

    Please verify my choices in drivers. I plan on running (4) cxa 3070 z2 off of (1) Hlg-120h-c1400b and (4) cxa3590 cb50 off of (1)hlg-185h-c700b. Are these an appropriate match? Your expertise is much appreciated

    Looking great Realstyles! I've got an old school hps gardener helping me with a room I'm building and can't wait to blow him away with LED. I have been doing lots of reading and think I'm going to build based on yours here. I have a question regarding coverage. I've got an area 12ft long and 40...
