Aquarium Advice Addict
So I have a 10g tank with a hood and a 2 CFL fixture.
I'm going to derim the tank but want to keep the fixture. My idea was to make my own little legs for it and to silicone them to the light housing. What should I use to make the legs. Some time of bendy metal?
Next I want to paint the outside of the lighting a chrome color. What paint is safe for aquariums that comes in a chrome or metallic color?
Also, do I need to put a piece of glass on the bottom of the fixture so water doesnt splash in?
Lastly, if I have 2 CFLs and 1 T8 bulb over the tank, what lighting would that put me?
