DIY moon light w/LED Xmas lights?
- Thread starter jcm412
- Start date
Or just type LED i'm just about to start a DIY myself i've posted a pic of 6ft tank on one of those threads, its got no hood and really awful 5ft luminaire which lets too much into the room, so its getting sold, hopefully! So now its time to plan how to build th ehood and add the lights.
dont staple it , i tried and every 2nd light broke
instead use those coaxial cable holders , you can get them in 99 cent store , they have different sizes , it fits perfectly . I gotta get lights out of my balcony ,and fish my hood , cause i got just so much vaporizing going on

Yes, i'd add to that to use the 2Watt LEDs, for 1Watts will not give enough light to penetrate the water.devder1;3760460; said:
And get a timer, save some money.
And beware, you'll become a fulltime fish- insomniac though.
i have to be told to go to bed like a lil' kid sometimes, for i can't get away from my tank with the nightlights.
I have just done this with my xmas lights, for the time being until I work out how i'm gunna fix them I have just hung them on the wall behind the tank. The fish become silhouettes but it still looks pretty cool.
Does no one read any of the previous postings?
This thing has been done to death.
How many times is the same thing going to be done, using the same lighting, and expecting different results.

We, as a race, love reinventing the wheel. So I'm not even going to mention the cheap blue rope light that I bought at Kmart.KaiserSousay;3764737;3764737 said:
KaiserSousay, I have to say that everyone has different ideas and no maybe people have not read different posts. But if someone starts a new thread then of course people are going to try and help. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES ITS BEEN DONE.
The whole point is to get advice from people who are trying new things.
Sorry but that post is very constructive.

So, if you don`t want to look into similar postings , on the same subject.
Fine, go ahead and rush out. Buy some X-mas lights, do a bunch of work, only to get the same results everybody else already got.
That was my point.
I guess it is a whole bunch easier to throw a new posting, than take the extra time to see if others have already traveled down that road.
Even if you say to yourself..Heck, I can do better than that..at least you have seen any mistakes they have made.
That is called history, and those that do not read it, are doomed to repeat it.
Got that sparky.
And I agree with you,
