Liquid cooled LEDs light fixture

[reefoman]

that's exactly what I do.

Really...? Interesting...
What you gonna use to exchange heat in sump? I was looking at titanium coils but for that price you can run your 250w heater for few years... Plastic/Teflon can work but has to be huuuuuuge to do good job.

Man thats one sick led set up you have , Jose told me about your led light. Hopefully you could build one for me in the futer...lol

great work, nicely done

That's by far the coolest DIY I've ever seen. Great job!

I have a couple questions though, how much did it all cost you to make that fixture and what size tank is that on? Also, what is that controller that you have in the front of it?

Well I didn't count exactly how much I spend to build this setup but I think over $1000...
My tank is marineland dd 93 gal cube 30"x30"x24"
You are asking about the controller installed in the light fixture? If so this is programable low voltage fan controller, you can use regular or water resist temp probe and hook up max 4 fans or 3 fans and water pump i don't remember the name but if you like I can check all info for you.
It wasn't expensive under $40 shipped.

I'm very impressed Im planning on using some fans on mine gonna look into the controller !

 

[reefoman]

Im thinking to get something different and if somebody has 30"x30" or 36"x36" tank and want my LEDs feel free to make an offer I'm not asking much... Less than I even spend for parts, lol

I mentioned if somebody has that tank and want my LEDs light fixture cause it was made for 30"x30" tank but as well gonna work good for 36"x36" then lmk cause I want to go different way
As about tanks I'm doing custom tanks as well hehe even some members here have them and hope enjoying

[reefoman]

Here is short list what I got to build this setup:

LEDs parts

Aluminum engle $40
Aluminum heat exchange $200
8 meanwell drivers $250
96 Luxein LEDs $385
Radiator $50
Pump $50
Temp control $40
Hardware (hose barbs, blue hose, screws, wires, etc...) I'm sure over $100 but let say $100

Total without any labor +/- = $1.115.-

If I'll get back $800 I gonna be happy.

what a setup, nice work there. liquid cooling must make a difference on the heat dissipation over the use of fans.

Thank you!
Yes only one low rpm fan is enough so far to keep setup under 100 degree but if I'll run all LEDs at 100% I don't know what temp gonna show up on LCD didn't try yet...
