So my bro got a fluval 5 and he needed lights to keep coral. So if course he called upon me. Now we wabted to keep stock size so i came up with this. Used stock fixture gutted machined custim aircraft aluminum heat sink to fit in housing. Wired 8 3w leds 6rb and 2 10k and added two fans in top to keep it cool. All in all very happy with finished product. Just waiting on driver. Some pics.
