There wouldn't be any need for CO2 anyway. :facepalm: I guess I don't really have to worry so much as all I have in my is sand and shells for the shellies But I'm over the warm lighting, I want something white!

waterlogged Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 i know right. i've seen some mods were they rewire and put LED strips in. that way you can also do a moon light affect. just wondering whether basic electrical knowlage would be enough to do it. still haven't ask in stores about led lighting though. maybe i'll do that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserNZ Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I reckon the best bet is to find out which LED lights fit as plug in replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I reckon the best bet is to find out which LED lights fit as plug in replacements. Most LED halogen replacements produce a lot less light than the original halogens though. Not really going to work if your goal is more light.
