Thanks guys, I'll post some better pics today with some better lighting! As for stocking, I have 4 Otos, 1 bristlenose pleco, 6 male Dario Dario Scarlet Badis, 7 celestial pearl danios, nitrate snails and red cherry shrimp. You might think that sounds overstocked but trust me it's not. The...

Hi all, finally here are some pics of the completed tank! I haven't been on the forum for a long time and honestly completely forgot about this thread! Here are some pics, the rooms a bit dark and I only have the evening lights on (not the kessil) which are pretty dim... Sent from my iPhone...

Thanks for the suggestion, I do like the Pictus, would 3 be suitable in a 55g if I provided enough open swimming room? I think they would be great at cleaning up after the puffers. I'm thinking 5 SAP puffers, 3 Pictus cats and maybe a single pleco of some sorts just as a window cleaner. Sent...

Hi Guys, I have a 55g sitting empty and I'm contemplating setting up a puffer tank. I had a porcupine puffer a few years ago in a larger marine setup and it was one of my favourite fish I've owned. I'd like it to be purely freshwater and I'm leaning towards an Amazon / South American Puffer...

Here are some pics of the gutted Kessil in which I want to add the RGB light... The front kessil is the Amazon Sun which I will be using for my regular light. The back housing is from an old broken Kessil I had laying around. I gutted it except for the aluminum heat sink and lens. I didn't...

Cheers Bookster :thumb:, the only problem I have with using the strips is that I want to house the light inside a Kessil A150 shell which is roughly the shape and size of a soda can... I could potentially wrap them up in there but I'm not sure how well the light would disperse. I also have a...

Great tip, I'll do that! I think if all else fails I might just end up cramming a flexi LED strip light into the kessil fixture... Not ideal but may be sufficient. I'm only intending to use this light as an accent light in the evenings once my main light is out (the main light is a kessil A150...

Thanks Mike! The chips haven't arrived yet but I'll give the RGB one a try when it does. I know the AC to DC power converter has the correct voltage (12V 10W) and is outputting DC0.83 amps. With the particular chip I ordered (see it here) the amps are not specified in the description. I think...

Thanks, I took a look and he definitely knows his LEDs! Unfortunately for me he wasn't messing around with RGBs so I am still in the dark (literally). I'll post a video to show what I am trying to achieve and how I have it setup so far.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone here can help as I have searched the web all night with no luck! I know absolutely nothing about LEDs but am determined to get this to work! :confused: I am trying to make a remote controlled single 10W LED spotlight to put over my IM-10 fusion nano tank... I want...

That's a great pic, thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll have to scratch the gourami a off the list. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

NEW STOCKING LIST: Neon Blue Goby I a 10G? I've done a lot more research and come up with the following list, I'm not going to have a betta in this tank and instead have turned my attention to a Neon Blue Goby. Does anyone have experience with these? I see Liveaquaria rate them for minimum 20...

You are completely right! Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I'm being too ambitious on having 2 sets of schoolies in a 10g. Perhaps it would be best to just go for the CPDs and maybe get around 10. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
