Why do you have those gold drivers? Was that part of your kit? Power feed goes to first drive and then those to LEDs. Want a pic of mine?
 
To power the leds because I have like 80 leds

Can I get a close up of the wires from the silver box to the circuit board?

PM any questions. I guest the yellow/gold drivers you have step power up inline to LEDs? Don't know about that aspect...mine are within the suggested number of leds per board...like 7 per.

other guys are smarter than me...just trying to help....so lets see if they pipe in....
 
Just one question which port in the silver do you plug the power wire that goes to the circuit board

Okay cool thanks! But yeah because I have a 150 gal I can't really do 7 leds per

I get the drivers bump up power on the other side of the board. Only word of caution make sure you keep polarity squared away. Otherwise no workie.
 
I made little paper squares and labeled them like models of each LEDs so I could play with layout. Then made this map to keep it straight. It helped when programming the timer. Just a suggestion. Also helped with layout cause couldn't easily tell diff in led colors if not lit

So where exactly do. Hook up the drivers? N the led side of the board or the other side?

I would "guess' the Led side...in line of the power "to" the first led. You can email them...they were great for answering questions. I would mock it up and take a pic or diagram it to better explain to them.
