Typically a 12V adapter is used, if you have an old cell phone charger lying around you can probably use that as well (I've tried it with a 10V...
The SVR2 only needs to be adjusted if you are running colors other than RB/White. Royal blue and white (cool, neutral and white) can all handle...
Very strange.. can you send some pics? As close as possible while still being clear, we'd like to see some of the LED/solder connections
Are you running fans on the heatsinks? If not you're likely getting too much heat from the LEDs and they aren't being cooled properly. You should...
The only large driver we have is the HLG-185-42B, that has a max of 4.4A but usually you'll run multiple parallel (and identical) strings of 1-12...
Email us at staff@rapidled.com and I'll see what we can do, usually we can't do that but I'll see if we can make an exception.
Sorry but we aren't currently running any other special offers.
To be honest I haven't used either over a tank, we've played with the Reef Angel for our lights in general but haven't used either unit for all the...
Ahh okay. I'd take a look at the Reef Angel, it's a pretty nice unit as well.
Yup, sorry but you'll need the Reef Angel (PWM), Boost Typhon or our DDC-01 controller.
I agree, the reds are overpowering and adding that much is going to overpower everything. In your second set-up it looks like you have 6 red/6 cyan...
If it's drilled/tapped go with grease, the pads are an alternative to thermal adhesive. The pads aren't meant to be as permanent as the adhesive,...
Some simple green or alcohol should get the grease off safely, you can then re-apply thermal adhesive when the LEDs are dry. A DIY ATO isn't too...
660nm is used for plants and refugiums because it helps trigger chlorophyll A (helps with photosynthesis), people use them for algae scrubbers quite...
Are you using thermal grease or adhesive? The grease will never dry (grease is typically used with screws that hold the LED down), while the...
I don't think it's too important to use the same gauge wire, as long as the distances are short both 18 or 20g would work.
Most people that are supplementing their royal blue/cool white are going with a combination of UV/cyan/green/red. Keep in mind the cyan/green are...
Either ratio will work, it depends on what color temperature you like in part as well as how much of a "full spectrum" you want. I have a BC29 and...
Were you trying to solder the batteries together? You can probably also just use some electrical tape to ensure the connection is made. In any...
My guess is you shorted out those LEDs, possibly more. If you can wire up two AA batteries in series with leads coming off both ends, then you can...
