    Hi,

    I wanted to replace the stock led driver in my nano for one that I could dim using an Apex controller (0-10V Dimming). It would seem that the stock driver's specs are 36w, with an output volatage of 54-90v at 350ma? What options do I have? I have been looking at the 60-Watt Dimmable MeanWell LED Driver (ELN-60-48D). Would this work?

    Also a funny thing. My JBJ 28g Nano Cube Intermediate is supposed to have 25*1w (white) Leds, but it would seem that the ones installed are in fact 3w leds (the board they are mounted on say 28G-LED-PCB-5*3W). The "Pro" model is stated to have 3w LEDs, it would be something if they both have the same LEDs but are being under driven on the intermediate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'll be contacting jbj. No corals a of yet. It's a brand-new tank, first time saltwater noob.

    Well congratulations on the new tank. I run the JBJ MH version, but now it has T5's. I have read that the Pro JBJ LED's are a tad too intense for many corals but I have no first hand knowledge of it.

    You can look at

    Rapid LED

    They might have what your looking for.

    Good luck with the new tank, I am curious to see how the LED version does for you. :)
