I've retrofit the single 1w already and don't plan on adding to that.

The 100x I plan on running will be wired into the tank's factory lights which are oceanic granite to match the trim.

Just do urs first.

I'm good for now I think.

so u wanna do it for me? haha

If you want I can. I would have to tear mine apart to see if there was a way to fit two in there, there's enough room for one comfortably but two might be a tight squeeze or some things are gonna need to be modified. It would be BEAsT over a little tank seeing that the one lights my 2ft tall tank.

Fa sho

I will probably place the order tomorrow night when the others get back with me on how many they want. I honestly feel that 50 will light my tank to my liking (which I was really set on 3x250MH+4x96wPC) but seeing how bright these are I think I can manage at a tenth of the cost. I might just spring for 100 to act up and light the whole room with these.

Ok. I'm gonna wait to see how yours turns out. Can I come by and see once you've got it set up? I'll make do with the T5's til then.

Black chewy balls! Lol

I don't really need it since the lighting got from I is working great. Everything's growing nice.

Need some SS from han to redo mt fissiden moss wall!!

my tank is a 6fter.

My first post shows two as they come... imagine 50 of them like so... all pre-wired.

Only thing for these is to find a suitable board or plank to stick them to and lay over your tank and get a power source or dc convertor to power them.

Nice. I want. What's the length of your tank? I have 4 feet to cover but since I haven't seen these, I'm not really clear (despite your descriptions above) how to hook 'em up.

Finally got a minute's break at work to take a look at that. That's just 1 LED?? Dang. Think the spectrum and intensity through 30" of water will work for vals/swords?

I think with enough of them it should grow low light plants great. But I will have a better idea once I put it all together. So far it grows algae like a BEAST

Chewy tea... what could be better? )

More like chewy balls... (not to infringe on the chewy balls copyright/business)

I don't drink that stuff.... never really understood the whole craze.
