Folks,
I have seen some really great ideas on the DIY forum. Whats the latest "invention" with regard to blue "moonlite" LEDS? I have a 55gal that i would like to install some nice blue "moonlites" for my shrimp. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!

I am currently soldering up some blue LEDs using an old cell phone charger and some resistors...i bought 100 high intensity LEDs off ebay for like $7 CAD...just found a LED calculator on the net to tell me what size resistor i needed
We found these strips of blue LEDs that you can trim down to groups of 3. They are on a sticky backed strip that you can stick right inside the light strip for the tank then wire them to a 12volt power supply. We're trying them out on the 29 gallon to see how many lights we need to give the moonlight effect.
I picked up 6 leds in strips of 3, pre-wired and waterproof, and then bought a power adapter that runs 12v and wired it to a switch, cost me round $12 with shipping of ebay, and it works really nice
