hey guys. my plan to do a DIY 36 led upgrade didnt work out. it turns out it over heats the hood.
has anyone used the modular LED kit on their red sea max 130 before? i want to know if the lights will spread out evenly because the lights are narrow unlike the 29 biocube.  and would anyone have a picture of a tank that had been upgraded with the kit? i cant find any pictures of a finished setup with this kit online.
thank you

How is it overheating?  I don't think I have seen anyone have an overheating issues from LED's yet unless you have it entirely enclosed with no airflow over the heatsinks?
