Hello everyone,
This is my 1st post here and I am new to the Apex, so I will try to be as clear as I can.
First if all, I know nothing about LED's or electronics, hence I need some help!
Here is what I would like to accomplish:
I have kessil lights (a160we) and an Apex controller planned for my 65 gallon freshwater planted tank.
What I want to do, is find some sort of inexpensive RGB strip LED lighting to use as accent lighting only. Mainly, using them to create a sunrise and sunset effect (since the kessil a160we can't really color shift that much).
I would like them to be controlled by the Apex controller along with the kessils (separate of course). They will also need to be placed strategically, so they will not block the kessils light path. The tank will have glass tops.
If I were to use the Neptune's Systems breakout box (or the varaspeed ports - I am not sure which is the better or correct option), they probably need to be run through a 0-10 v dimmer (I think that is what I read).
I just don't understand any of this to be able to make any decisions on what to buy or if I need anything other than what I have purchased already. I don't have a breakout box, but I can purchase if needed.
I have looked at LED clip lights and strip lights, but I don't understand how it all needs to works .
I have read alot of materials online to try and figure it out, but I don't understand electricity at all.
If anyone can help direct me in what to do or buy, listing the things I will need to accomplish my goal.
I hope I have made some sense of what I am looking for :/
If you need any more information, please let me know.
