Steve's LED kit + in a Biocube 14

[wildernets]

So this is my first venture into the world of LEDs so may have gone a little rogue. I have the normal BC 14 14k kit + 2 cyan, 2 UV, 1 extra 4k.

Makes it
8 - royal blue - ch1
5 - 4k white - ch2
2 - cool blue - ch1
2 - cyan - ch2
2 - UV - ch3

May be a little much....

This is what it looks like now. I still need to run power to the supply and put in the dimmers. I'll have to put on a lighting controller at some point. Tank is empty so no rush.

So after getting whole thing wired I started testing. Everything worked great but the UV channel. I have now been reminded that I need to have at least 12.5V on any channel. With just two UV bulbs I only have about 7V. Run it for about 5 min and bam. Let the smoke out. Anyone think super glue will work..... J/k of course.
