    Then come to the Des Moines area meeting this Thursday with the topic of light and an emphasis on LED's. We will have two examples of fixtures, a couple actual LEDs and a few misc parts. Check out the Des Moines area forums for more info!

    If you look at any of my pictures on my build thread in the photo section, my zoas are under LEDs.  Gered will proablly have some pictures on his frag tank thread since we both have LEDs.

    I fund it with white gold currently. If it comes down to it I will order one but I need a pretty small heatsink so hoping I could find one laying around.
