Frag tank build

You see the little tan board with the Red wire and white wires going to it, and there is a little green box and on the board near it is marked RS1, that is a resistor. That is the resistor that is governing the power to the LEDs.

And I have to edit this because I am wrong the boards I commented about governs the power to the transformers not the LEDs, I spoke before I had seen the last pictures. I wouldn't dig too much further into the fixture but you are still not to the back side of the Printed circuit board. I would guess either they moved the resistors to the back side of the PCB or they eliminated them all together. 


 Jason, yesterday you were dead on with the power consumption of the fans, they draw 1.2 watts each.

Wonder if I should crack open the other one? I don't mind doing it for educational purposes. Lol

You're over thinking this. As stated by a few before me, resistors can be placed on either side of the board, at the beginning OR end of the circuit, and my guess is that they eliminated them altogether because they are not necessary. You only need one per string if wired correctly.

From Evergreen,

Hi Ron,

Let me be clear. Evergrow does not manufacture our lights. Not one of them. We sell Evergrow lights under the Evergrow name to keep the distinction clear. I have addressed this issue many times and I can make it simple: Look at the specifics of any light you like - read what people say on the forums about the company and their customer service - and perhaps call the company and get a feel for the people in charge. Then - just like anything else - buy what looks and feels right for you. And if it is Reef Radiance great - and if not - that is okay as well. Rick

Ok, now I am confused. I sell Toyota's, Toyota doesn't manufacture our cars, not one of them, We sell Toyota's under the Toyota name to keep the distinction clear. I just needed to put this in a different context to have it make sense to me. lol.

You can paint the egg shell any color you want but when you take the shell of it is still an egg.

And that means?? Evergrow does not manufacture our lights. Not one of them. We sell Evergrow lights under the Evergrow name to keep the distinction clear.

Some of these guys must have been used car sales men. From reef radiance website
OUR NEW OFFICE WILL NEAR SILICON VALLEY AND WE WILL BE SURROUNDED BY THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURERS IN THE WORLD. THIS WILL ENABLE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE BEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE AQUARIUM LIGHTING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE.

No they are moving from Arkansas to California because Dublin is right near the California port of entry the ocean gateway from China to the US.

So I am guessing that reef radiance is making their own lights ?

reef radiance sells gbgreensun lights none of reef radiance lights are made by evergrow

reefbreeders sells evergrow lights none of the reefbreeders lights are made by gbgreensun

this isnt confusing.

gbgreensun is where I was ordering my lights now the cs sux and they are not making the quality lights they were making. I am glad I waited and havnt made an order from the last few batches of lights they made. I have only dealt with returning 3 of 40 lights but again there cs is lacking......

so I am switching to selling evergrow lights it is going to cost a little more and I will make a little less but I would rather sell a better product.
