Perfect, I have 14 hours and 50 minutes remaining to ask questions... I don't know the first thing about making a DIY LED system. Do they have a "LED's for Dummies" section?

No, but it takes them *literally* 3 minutes to answer your emails.

Edit: I can help too if you need it.

Yeah I did this kit and had no problems figuring out their instructions, even for the dimming. It was my 1st time soldering too. The key is a good solder gun (~$30). Makes life a lot easier and the solders are stronger.

I got the same email also. I don't remember what the prices were last week on the retro kits but are the 48-dimmable and the 36-dimmable retro kits on sale also?

I placed an order for more LEDs so I can retro fit my biocube 14.

Looking at their retro kit for the biocube 29. They had 10 whites and 10 blues. So to calculate the number needed for the biocube 14, I compared the amount of water surface area between the bc 29 and bc 14. It turns out that the surface area of the bc 29 is 45% larger so doing the math I came up with 11 LEDs for a bc 14. So I rounded up to 12, 6 whites and 6 blues. Also the bc 14 is 3" shallower in depth compared to the bc 29.

Anyone agree with my logic?

Funny way at arriving on it (not actually funny, quite logical really) but that's the most common number used to retrofit a biocube 14.
