First thread was deleted by the crash so it's raining I'll make a new one.My son wanted a fish tank so we bought a jbj 28 pro led from Craigslist 11 months ago and created his reef tank.

Replace stock pumps with cobalt mj900 with Im spins streams
Just purchase vortech mp10 for more flow
Installed a chill solutions csxc-1 micro chiller
Replaced stock LEDs which were too white with rapid LEDs that are dimmable

40 pounds of a mix of tonga live rock
Live sand
Fish include Picasso clown,chromosome,and spotted mandarin
Corals is a mix of zoas,lps,and sps
Will post some pictures later
 
Looking good so far bro.. I cant wait for the pictures.. I too have a jbj 28g

Some of my blue led's died in mine. How did you replace the existing led's? I would love some help with this.
 
I took all the old LEDs out went with soderless LEDs by rapid with dimmable drivers so I could choose my own colors.Vince from rapid led was real helpful with any questions I had making it easier.They sell thermal adhesive that you put on the back of the led and stick it to the heat sink then you hook the wires to the connectors and your driver.
 
I also have a JBJ28 Gallon! We are slowly growing.

Sounds like you made some good changes already. Looking forward to the photos.

So you used the existing heat sink and wiring. Our did you replace everything?
 
It's the same heatsink but all wiring from the drivers to LEDs are new I wish I saved the old LEDs I could of given it to you
 
I haven't updated in a while I decided to remove the DIY LEDs and I went back with my old sunpod metal halide fixture,I'm now running 150 watt 20,000 k radium sps seems to be coloring up nicely.
Here's some picture of some of the recent purchases.

Always like halides had it before my DIY LEDs were ok heat is not a issue so I thought I would switch back to halide radium 20,000 k is great color
