Night Time Lighting ?'s

[Myarbro]

Hey guys!

I have a 6ft tank with really nice day time lighting. I had originally bought them with the intention on having a heavy planted tank. Instead, I went with plain sand, heavy driftwood, and fish that would probably mess up my plant setup. Anyway, I really want some nice night time lighting. Something blueish perhaps that will just give me enough light to see inside the tank, but not disturb my nocturnal fishes dark time. I have scouted around tons of sites and found some nice blue LED setups.

I just wanted to see if you guys could let me know what you got, or if you can direct me to some good choices.

Much thanks as always MFK'rs.

I have three blue led lights on one of my tanks, It looks great but they are not really bright enough to really see them. I forget who makes them but you are able to connect more in series and place them where ever. Just one option for you

These perhaps?

Howdy,

Nighttime lighting might induce algae growth. Just install a low wattage incandescent bulb or dimmer, and turn off when not in use.

Ok, so I started looking around for LED's systems that were not made specifically for aquariums, hoping to find something cheaper. Definitely did...

Waterproof, 5 color settings, adhesive strip (which is perfect because my lights are mounted, just above the glass top, with a piece of long wood my roomie graciously made for me. So I could just apply 2x 5ft strips on either sides of the lights), remote, and tons cheaper than what I would pay for something made for aquariums. The best thing is that it can be dimmed to real low or real high, which solves the previous problem previous post about brightness and algae blooms addresses.

What do you guys think.
