nice light!

really bright...



Here s an idea...Dont know if you would like it but....

What about a nice aponogeton/sword/barclaya as a centre piece surrounded by HC and a small species of fish?

I know...really simple but you can play with the colours through your fish choice and aponogetons ..well I find them nice/interesting to look at..

That's a beautiful tank

Thanks little diy and $52 you got yourself a nice light with good par.. Thanks to hoppys lax to par meter tutorial I am getting 80-90par.

I know its super bright :p .. Not sure on the swords they grow to big for my taste. I like the barclaya and the Hc.
thanks cant wait till i have more plants and fish :fish:..

Little update waiting for sunday going to do a big trim on the 24g aquapod will add all the clippings.. How long does hc take to grow? I got some last week and it doesn't look like its growing.. I have a lot of light and a lot of co2.

What spectrum is your LED flood? How are the plants doing under it? Impressive tank!

Thank you. The spectrum is 6500-7000k so far so good plants are pearling and I am starting to see growth ill post some pictures tomorrow once I add some fish.

simply amazing. may i inquire how how the lamps are hung above the tank. is it a conduit pipe custom bent or was it something else? it matches so well with your tank and stand....

Nice Job!

thank you. You are right its conduit pipe that I bent cut to hide wires and sprayed black.

Thank you

Plants are growing good but I do have some diatom algae has to be from tank cycling. Anyway added 2 ottos and 2 cherrys shrimps.

Added a meanwell eln-60-48d also made a diy black acrylic enclosure for the driver waiting for the 3 Digital Blue led Amp Panel Ampmeter and the 10v adapter to finish it off. Everything is growing but some of the stem plants the middle is starting to turn dark and dieing what can cause this?

That light is sick. These things are really tempting.

Nice tank, but what are the legs in the first post photos?

Thanks its worth the cash even better if you buy a good dimmer driver so you have control over the leds.


Thanks its a fake dog :p.

Here a update have a problem with the tank its been very cloudy for a few weeks not sure whats the cause, all the test i did are good the ferts haven't changed. I did a 60% water change today and still cloudy I even did full clean on the rena xp3 last week. Only way to clear it up for a few days is use Acurel F 25.
