Each led is attached on 3-5W heat sink and each heat sink is attached on aluminium bar.

Composition of the bottom:
ADA Turmaline BC

The plant's are:
- Tenellus
- Hemianthus Callitrichoides

The tank:


Tank + Leds


Leds detail:



This is the last photo (19/03/2011),
the light led is incredible.... Explosive plant's growth. Zero algae.
Daily ADA fertilization :

What do you think?

Ciao Christian

Very nice build, I think led lighting is the perfect solution on nano tanks!

From my desk where I am supposed to be working

If you hit the alert button and ask there, they should move it for you. I've seen them use the alert button this way in the past.

Nice tank. Do you know what kind of moss you have?
