Looking good!! I love the rocks in there. The moonlights look great too! The cycle could be making it cloudy. My tank was cloudy until I put live rock in it. Then it cleared right up.

Looking for lighting suggestions. Looking for between 12-18w of blue and white leds.. maybe some purple's too.
Hard to find nano lights and I don't like the look of the bulb style lights.

There is a clip on one on aquatraders.com I was going to buy that then order a cheap purple and blue led strip from EBay. Or you can find DIY led kits for nano tanks.

Tell me about it! I looked and looked. You remember. Lol! It's hard to find a light that isn't a bulb that is small enough for a pico tank. I went with the par38 bulb. Here's a picture of what mine looks like.

I'll keep looking. I guess that bulb doesn't look too bad. I might also try a DIY nano led kit.
Guys I decided to add fish already. This is fred and half of ted, my super cycling buddies! The other half of ted went to my brain coral last thursday.

Added a big ol piece of live rock from my 55 in there. This should help speed up the cycle!

I just posted this in another thread, but it seems relevant here as well.
This was always my favorite DIY LED pendant, and if I ever started my nano back up, its what I was going to use as a guide.

Simple and cheap, and if you are tech-savvy, you probably have a heatsink and PSU laying around somewhere that would work.

Water's cleared up a little bit.
I emailed aqueon about the light fixture that came with the tank. They said since I had so much troubles with my tank they'd send me another one for free. I inquired about purchasing one separately and the specs so I could run two. But the entire fixture is only 2 watts.
So I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the par38 bulb.

Maybe not.. I just read reviews on it (probably should've done that before I bought it!!). A lot of people are saying the LEDs go out quickly. Maybe I'll be a lucky one and have no problems.
