treesprite July 23, 2019 Share July 23, 2019 Is there any quick and cheap DIY light upgrade I can do on an 12 gallon Aquapod that I only use intermittently? It that has PC lighting, bulbs need to be changed and it is really hard to find 28w squarepin PC bulbs (was able to find an actinic one today at a LFS that just had one).

treesprite July 24, 2019 Author Share July 24, 2019 Thanks for the info. I actually have a led light for a nano that is a similar style, but what is needed is something that will work in the tank's hood. The hood has a casing which covers the lighting and fan. The bulb I got is 420nm not 460nm, so unfortunately it is pink not blue (I didn't have the sense to look at the package beyond the word actinic). I have one of those waterproof LED strips in actinic blue propped under the edge of the hood, because it is an inch longer than the inside of the tank. I have a barely used pc Aqualight, turns out that daylight bulb is the right size, so I put it in the Aquapod hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
