so i have been doing a lot of research on DIY led and i am looking at heat sinks currently and had a couple questions
1. what quantity of 3 watt leds would be recommended for a 90 gallon tank?
(with the option to support a clam on the sand bed at some point down the road)
2. for those who were in the large group buy what would you change about your order?
3. what is the easiest way to drill your heat sink?
(i am looking at this heat sink http://www.heatsinkusa.com/products/10.000"-Wide-x-16"-Long-Heatsink.html)
i also read the build thread for http://www.thescmas.com/forums/showthread.php?9113-DIY-3watt-LED-Lighting i used this a a guide to get an idea of $$ and material
tank measurements are 48 long 24 tall and 18 deep
i am just exploring options currently since i just started my 90 gallon tank and i am not happy with the coloring of the CF and if i upgrade the lighting the cost for the DIY would be worth it later down the road if i decide to make it a full reef.
