I have made a new thread with the diagrams that Dave and myself have made. The diagrams will start the the diagrams of the LED's using resistors then go on the the LED's using the Adjustable Voltage Regulator and the last diagram will be of the LED Moonlight Strip with a Dimmer Switch included. If anyone has any questions please ask before you try to do any of these diagrams if you don't understand them totally. ;) :confused: :D

Does my vote count? LOL

It's great to have another person around that understands the who, what-fors, and why's to help explain and make these little DIY projects as easy as they should be to avoid the rediculous costs that commercial vendors put on things.

... Thanks Bob!

Dave, I sure hope you didn't mind me doing a new post or thread with all the the LED Moonlight Diagrams. I am not trying to step on any toes but I thought that a new thread with yours and my diagrams all in one area it would be better and easier for the group on Captive Reefing. If I have overstepped I am sorry and if you want me to I will check with you before I do anything like that again. Plus you know that your vote counts, without you starting this the group that wants a Moonlight Strip would still be wondering how can I do this or do I have to spend a lot of more monies to make everything in my tank happy and living to the best level of their lives.

would Radio Shack carry the regulator, or would I need to find a store alittle more advanced

Everything that is listed in all of the diagrams can be picked up at a Radio Shack store or RadioShack.com

All schematics come with an unconditional 50/50 garuntee.... if it catches fire, blows up, and breaks in half...... you get to keep both halves!

I can't see this last diagram with my "old man eyes." I thought I could click on it to see a larger version, but apparently not. Can we get one that is 800 x 600 perhaps?

Marc, I will see what I can do about making the diagram larger. I tried to make it larger but Dave's software for attachments will only allow me to make it as large as it is. I will talk with Dave or Jo and see if their is some other way to get it larger.

Great, stuff!

Since I am doing a 350 LED setup for my 34g, I was thinking that it would be good to get a push in plugs for the LED's just in case one burnt out, I could easily replace by just puling it out and replacing with a new one.

Is there such a thing as push-in sockets for LED's?

Also, how do you adjust the voltage regulator?

And last, where would I be able to get a circuit board and all the necessary tools (the special marker and the acid for DIY circuit boards).

Thanks.
