      This light fixture is non-dimmable so I bought some LDD-1000HW drivers and wired them inline so I can dim the LED strips. I also replaced the burned out LEDs.

      starting to wire



      all LDDs wired in



      testing dimmed to 1/255 - success!



      once my raspberry pi gets here i'll make sure it works how it should then tidy it up.

      My JBJ Nano Cube 28 LED - First reef tank

      Keep it up man! I remembered when I set up my first tank and also my first biocube and I was super stoked. At first it looks empty and before you know it,it's a masterpiece. Now your in for a ride!
      Enjoy it!!

      wow your tank looks nice, what size is that? I don't know how people follow the guideline of 2lbs rock per gallon. There is no way I could fit 60 pounds of rock in here. My tank doesn't have much open sand, if I want more I need to get some smaller rocks I think. I have a few huge pieces. I like how it looks now, I'll leave it this way because I just want to get it going first. I can change it to a more open layout later if I want.
