    Yet another LED Post ;)

    ok, i figured it out lol, current is common in a series...!!! damn i knew it from all my marine tech training but figured it out after my master sergeant talked with me...i figured it out.

    Over stocked? and how often to do pwc/gravel vacuum?

    I considered that when i bought him, knowing he will get to at least 8 inches, my tank measures 24 inches...and 16 inches high...well about the nitrates, that would be because he poops alot? and I bought a tank so i could have a pleco, so i bought a smaller one, even though he can get big....he...

    Over stocked? and how often to do pwc/gravel vacuum?

    some site say 18 some say 8 inches...probably around 10-12??? and how do i change my profile to say my location?

    rich, do you think i could add more fish?

    lets say i wanted to use 6 led's with a 12 v power source...the voltage calculator says to use 47 ohm resistors, ran in 2X3led series in parallel...how can i achieve a "current limiting resistor?" and where do i put it in the circuit? thnx John

    I have nitrates in that kit...ok, so gravel vacuum weekly is fine? and am i overstocked?

    It has a marineland eclipse 2 system with a bio wheel. Rated at 200Gal/Hr. and Zags, i do own a aquarium pharm master kit.. thats what AP is right? John

    Hey all, I have 2 tanks, 10 GAL with 5 zebra danios, 1 pearl danio, and one albino corey cat running on a penguin 100. densly fake planted. 20H with eclipse 2 hood with 6 black skirt tetras, 3 silver hatchets and one small(4.25in) rhino. and one live jungle vas...with some fake plants...

    Serge, thank you for all the advice and nice schematic!!!... the reason why i ask, is because i have already made the system and installed in my tank... granted, by not utilizing resistors and not having the "safety" precautions, I maybe in a "world of hurt". But, the LED's have a MAX of 4.5 (1...

    LOL, i was really worried, when i read the post thinking crap, i have just ruined my led's, but after about an hour of trying to figure out which resistors to use, utilizing multiples of variables in coordination of ohm's law....i figured out that my AC--->DC adapter is regulated, and thats why...

    Idea for feeding dwarf frog

    Very nice, ADF are hard to feed when other fish like to hog all the food, i feed mine frozen blood worms and decieded to keep them in a tank by themselves since my others in my my bigger tank with more fish had starved. also, careful, ADF can over eat...

    Some questions

    30 fishes? in a 2 feet tank??? that seems like a lot of fish in a 2 feet tank, unless its a tall tank....but still a lot of fish, did you check your water parameters? also, could be some sick tetras.

    A couple of questions... First, made my own led system, consisting of 2 2600mcd/3.7V(4.5max)/20mA LED's. wired them in series to create 7.4V... with a variable Voltage AC adapter set at 6V. I have no resistors in my setup and it runs fine...Ok, do i need resistors if my system is running fine...

    Moonlight Lighting

    hey dont tap, marine? I eas in 17 days, also, i have made my own led system and was wondering how bright it should be, i have a selector switch on my inverter to make it some what lighted to decently bright.
