Thank you for putting this thread together, if these are all true then I will be soon building a very similar setup for my 70 gallon tank. The tank is only 3ft wide so I may only need one. Which should cut the cost greatly. I have wanted to simulate sunset and sun rise forever!
I was able to reduce my profile count to 14 for the LED's; three of the four 0-10vdc output channels that are included with the base Apex are in use. The only additional parts I purchased was a lunar sim module and one cat 5 ethernet cable to wire the variable output power to the LED drivers. All of this is in the total price. The Apex controller is not in the price. I would use 60 LED's for a 70 gal tank.
