2:1 blue:white

Full disclosure:

The controller and 2 drivers had gone bad when I picked this up over a year ago. Repaired it by replacing the blue driver on warranty...but had to buy a new driver for the whites, so an inventronics driver is in there now. Also bypassed and removed the controller, so I've installed separate cords for blues/whites with manual dimming controls.

A couple "quirks"...to squeeze in the new driver I had to move one of the 3 fans, so one fan is off-center by about an inch, but still functions fine. Also removed the 3 red LEDs that were wired into the blues...they were running hot and making the entire tank look purple. You can see one of the "bridges" I soldered in to bypass the red LED in the 2nd pic.

Other than that, solid unit that I've run flawlessly for a year, it's just too much light for my shallow tank (12"). Even with the whites dimmed all the way and the fixture 10" above the surface I was burning zoas.

It does also have a separate driver for 3 moonlight LEDs...but I currently have them wired into the blues. If you wanted to play with the wiring...you could add another cord and potentiometer to control those individually. I can throw in another potentiometer if you decide to do so.

I think that covers every question possible. :p Someone come get this before I regret selling it.

I know it's a long shot...but I'm willing to trade (+ cash if necessary) for Apex components. I'm looking for an EB8 or WXM module.

Unfortunately, no...it's rare that I make it further South than C-470 more than a couple times a year...and that's typically during the summer months.

I'll let you know if I do happen to be heading that way, but most of my planned winter travel has me heading West into the mountains.

Guess everyone is afraid of a little rewiring? :(

Cmon guys...I've rebuilt engines and rewired cars and motorcycles. I promise the panel is solid. :)

Man tough this was gone. I loved mine and if I needed this I would be all over it! Great guy to deal with.
