I recently was planning on setting up a 350 Gallon tank, and had some custom LED's built for the monster. But I soon decided I wanted to go with something a little smaller and more efficient (Red sea max 650). I had the LED's built by a buddy of mine who is amazing at electronic things. I had 3 heatsinks built all with the same amount of Cree LED's. The Heat sinks are 20 inches long.. Each with their own mother board. One out of three is pictured below.

Hopefully the picture isnt as small as I see it..

On each heat sink there is...
26 Cree XP-G Cool White (5 Watts)~ Seperate Dimmable
26 Cree XP-E Blue (3 Watts) ~ Seperate Dimmable
6 Cree UV
6 Ocean Coral White
6 Red X-PE ON SAME DIMMABLE AS GREEN
6 Green X-PE ON SAME DIMMABLE AS RED
4 Moonlights

So for each heatsink that is a total of 280 Watts of LED's!

These were very meticulously planned and were only used for a couple months.

I am a couple grand into them and would like to get rid of them. Asking $900 shipped for all 3! OBO

So what size tank was the 350 going to be? I have a 180 (6'x2'x2'). Would these be overkill for that tank?
 
They were over my 180 for a short period of time. At full blast, they would be. But they are dimmable so you could control them.. I ran mine at about 70 percent over my 180.
The 350 Was 3x6x3
 
can you post pics of all of the heatsinks and drivers?

might be interested in this

thanks
