DIY LED Biocube retro

[sinister]

That's awesome! I'd love to come check that out sometime. I've got a biocube that's eventually going to be LED converted

No problem, just let me know. Monday and Wednesday nights work best.

I'll probably wait a little... I can't afford it right now, and as soon as I see it, I'll buy and make one. I've got other hobbies I'm accommodating too (drag racing, and shooting seasons both are starting... )

How's the water temp in your tank doing with the new LED's? My 29 is always too hot and I was wondering if the new LED set up you have is keeping the water at at cooler temp.

Well, it's hard to tell. For the first couple days it stayed at 78 with both lids closed. Now with the 80's it's back up to 80, but that's not that bad. I think I might get a 60mm fan and mount it to the bottom of the back hood to increase evap and help lower tank temp. I turned my heater down again and opened the back lid. I'll run it like this for a week or so and let you know.

I had it shoot to 85 today!! Every other day it's maxed at 81.5

My biocube is Wayyy too hot.


Both lids will be left open tomorrow.

If there is a fan in the room turn that on to.

That's actually a good idea. Never thought of that.

I keep some frozen RO water in my deep freezer just incase.

Good idea Travis.

bump. Nicely done... looks very cool.

Now looking at a stunner retrofit (since I'm not as talented with electronic wiring)
