Nonferrous metal blade on a chop saw is the way to go

I dont have a chop saw, and I don't cut enough metal/wood to buy one. A die grinder can come in handy for many things. (And I paid $20 for it from harbor freight)

Thanks for the advice though.

Let me know what u wanna do. It's really easy to do, just really time consuming.

For ur tank, the best fixture would be a 60" 8 bulb ATI. I can take out 2 bulbs, and put like 155 LEDs down the middle. Probably do something like 90 royal blues, 30 regular blues, 10-6500 whites, 20-420nm purple, 5-660nm reds. Then hook them up to an apex and have dimmable sunrise/sunset LEDs and kick on the t5s for about 6 hours.

For the t5s u can run
4-BLUE+
1-purple
1-coral +

It would look bad asss

It's not cheap.

For my 26 LEDs with non dimmable drivers, it cost $100.

I think it would be bitchen. That's how my tank is. Only thing is your tank is a 225, isn't it? I feel like a 6 bulb might not be enough.

Thanks to you U inspired me to do a bit more research. The price difference isn't worth it, rather spend $20 more and get the Phillips.

Awesome! I really got tired with building subpar fixtures, even with Cree LEDs. The guys at nano-reef gave me really good info on the CRI of certain LEDs and how even the Cree's from ledgroupbuy are really low CRI so the reds look off.

 

[SchnitzelReef]

U know why I don't have a CRI problem or Reds that are off???????



T5s!!!
Lol
