Looking good, Jae. Will the aluminum frame serve as the heat sink? How many of the frames will you need for your tank?

do you think the aluminum beams you are using will be sufficient for cooling the LED's?there isnt alot of surface area in those beams so im wondering what your plans are.

first heat test was used 3W 350mA almost no heat on C channel heat sink
now I'm using 3W 700mA, yes there is some heat but not hot. any air moving will help to lower Temp
