I have no idea how you'd do it with that controller. I just used an attiny13, LM7810 voltage regulator, trimpot, and a couple of transistors.

The LED driver is PWM dimmable. It's controlled by PWM, which means you can control the brightness by varying the duty cycle. The output of the leds is constant with no flickering.

platies will eat their own fry given the opportunity. Whatever fry eater you get odds are there will be a few surviving from every brood if the tank has alot of hiding places.

I wouldn't bet on this being able to penetrate water well enough. Probably fine for low light plants, but these 20mA LEDs are just really weak.

danios spawn anywhere and everywhere, almost regardless of water quality. There's a reason they're the most researched fish; they're so easy to breed in numbers.

Now we're getting somewhere :) If the LEDs burned out they were probably fed too much current. Are you sure the drivers are feeding the correct current?

Yeah I believe if HC is not pearling it's usually either not enough light, not enough co2 or a combination thereof.

I don't really know what could be wrong, but my tip would be to start small. Just begin with powering a couple of LEDs and work your way up to the full array.

You probably *need* to at least open it up a bit. You might get away with not using a fan, but the heat from the LEDs is pretty muched closed in there if you don't put any openings on there.
