Grim's Azoox Build

I'm just wondering about any osmosis effects or cross-contamination with all 3 outlets being connected together like that. Of course, it likely won't have enough time to happen if all 3 of the dosers are coming on several times per day.

 

I know a few people have been using this method for a couple years now and are still happy with it. So hopefully it won't matter. And seeing as it's all in the fridge there is no reason for anything to break down.

 

The short tube length between the roller and the return plumbing should help with that as well.

 

6 - Philips royal blue (440-450nm) (I went with Phillips luxeon ES because they are a deeper blue than cree and equally efficient and bright)

6 - True Violet (410-430nm) (actual 417.5nm peak) (Steve's LEDs violet gets RAVE reviews)

2 - Tristar (3 leds on a single star, but each color will be on a separate channel)
LED Color #1: Royal Blue (440-450nm)
LED Color #2: Deep Red (650-660nm)
LED Color #3: True Green (520-535nm)

2 - Tristar (I'm wiring the cyan to the same channel as the true green)
LED Color #1: Royal Blue (440-450nm)
LED Color #2: Deep Red (650-660nm)
LED Color #3: Cyan-Turquoise (495-505nm)

For a total of 4 meanwell drivers, 24 LEDs and 4 36" t5s. This should give me absolute spectrum control and the benefits of the full range spectrum of t5s for my primary white. Though, I have no idea why I'm so worried about lighting on a NPS build...


Tristar will stop the disco for my red/green leds. When they mix with royal blue it should combine to make a cool white look with no way to see the individual leds on the sand/rock.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. But hey, this build is going all-out everywhere else...might as well. What T5 lamps are you planning on?

 

The stand/ floating canopy I bought already has a retrofit 4bulb t5 in with ATI bulbs. I'll likely just use 2 of them and put coral+ in both. Then I can use the LEDs to tweak the spectrum from there.

 

Fridge got delivered, waiting on my Venturi and some plumbing and the food fridge build begins!!

Any suggestions on a standalone doser with 4 or 5 heads?

 

ProfiLux has a good reputation, I see them on high end builds but they run 5 bills.

 

You can do the Bubble Magus with the add-on unit and have 7 heads.

Bubble Magus BM-T02 is the expansion unit with 4 heads (requires BM-T01, the basic unit).

 

Yeah, I just need to see what kind of room I'm working with in the fridge. Space is at a premium. I don't think I'll have room for 2 units.. I'm sure 3 would be enough. I hate to drop $500 on a doser... but I also hate to end up with a ton of wires coming out of the fridge making it look sloppy.
