At least if you don't put water in it, you won't need to worry about how your going to light it. hahahah

LED's for a fish only tank.....why not just go PC

LED's for a fish only tank.....why not just go PC

 

 

Picked up a nice DIY a guy retrofitted into an old PC housing. 30 led's of different spectrums, and only cost me $50. Probably performs just as well as a $950 radium. haha

 

At some point I am sure a coral or two will find their way into the tank, and I can upgrade lights then. $50 is the cost of a couple T5's...

I think LED is great for FOWLR. You get the nice shimmer of halides with the heat. Especially a nice smaller unit like the one he is going to use.

 

 

*@, for $50 i might try LED too. hahaha

 

Yea man, there are a lot of led guru's on here that really know their stuff. I really like this fixture for simplicity.

 

Here it is:

Keep in mind it's resting on the front brace. Centered over the tank about 8" off the surface it provides full coverage.

 

On a side note, the sump is filled and tank is almost filled.

Your aquascape looks pretty close to mine...

I guess the best form of flattery is imitation right? Ah... the downsides of being Legendary. What can ya do. :cool:

At this pace, by the time you get fish in there LED lights will have been replaced with newer technology! .... joking

 

 

looks great!

The goal for the first fish is Jan 1st '13. I want to give the tank plenty of time to cycle (3 months). I just moved into a new house and figure I will be here 8+ years or so, and with that in mind I am not rushing anything.

 

I will start dosing microbacter 7 early next week, and start a log book of ammonia/trites/trates for the next couple months.

BORING..... You should just cycle for like 3 weeks and then add like 20 fish. It would be totally awesome.!

Go back to Ryans thread if you want to goof around. This is a serious matter.
