LED build for the 300

Looks good Mike. I think your power numbers are not the whole picture, though. In the summer, your AC won't have to run as much to fight off the LEDs as they would for a MH rig.

Now that this project is done, what are you going to do with the dining room table?

I agree on the power numbers as a whole, I did a power study bases off of a 1 year average from data that I have stored and the number was around 26.00 a month taking into account heating and cooling.

Dining room table is getting ready for the 220 led fixture I am building for a guy out in California. Then who knows it might become my new work table.

Well it should and he is one happy dude. The sohal and valmingi think they are a couple and spend most of their time swimming some kind of marathon throughout the tank. The new scape has tons of holes and caves that they weave through. Just awesome to watch.

my little 190 with the 10 bulb powermodule cost $30 a month to operate @ .09/kw, so if you managed to get in at $26 a month with 3 halides then you where doing better than me.

Go to mcmaster.com page 1922 and look at the 1.5" T bar framing.
