I also have a 80cm tank which only has a single tube lid, and I think I am going to have to build my own lid and buy a double unit light starter thingy.

I was wondering how many people (if any) had experience with either of the two solutions... 1) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280766047570?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649#ht_4649wt_1270 It has 3x 14w T5 bulbs, which over a 64l aquarium, gives about 2.6w per gallon (if my math...

Have you checked out the all pond solutions luminaries?

Does anyone know where to find the actual light unit part for cheap anywhere? Because I want to make my own hood but I don't know what part it is called. It surely can't be that expensive?

I have the 170l Aqua One Bow Front tank with the built in filter in the hood. Although I think it is easier to clean and it does add a lot of oxygen into the tank, but it simply isn't strong enough for the tank and we had to buy an external filter. Just my experience :)

I was wondering whether anyone had any pictures, plans, ideas, mockups etc of an diy led tank canopies/luminaires. I am looking to build some kind of fixtures for the basic kind of tanks (like the clearseal's) which would justify buying a basic tank and building a light unit instead of going for...

I have a TetraTec EX1200 on my 170 Aqua One Marine Tank with a UV steriliser and a hang on Protein Skimmer on the back and the water quality is perfect.

i have about 7 platy fry about 2 and a half weeks old in a 18x10x10, i was wondering if i could get a couple of juvenile corydoras for the bottom, or would they eat the fry?

so i should get some polystyrene to go underneath? all of the fish that will outgrow will do so by the time in which i will of built my fish house, so the clowns, congo's etc will go in the 6ft-ers! i want to set up the 4ft for a lake malawi tank, just need some more ocean rock and because i am...

Thanks :) And the community tank wasn't originally like that, a lot of the fish came from a friend whose tank literally cracked and we saved what fish was left as they were to be rehomed. It's a aqua one bow front 170l bow front with a tetratec ex700 and an internal fluval. I've also got a 4ft...

Forgot to add the community tropical tank and the marine tank: two clownfish, 2 green chromis, 1 wrasse?, 1 regal tang, 1 blennie/goby (one of the two) along with a very annoying teddybear crab which is pretty big that we can't seem to get rid of!

My upright tank which now holds 4 goldfish but soon to be a betta tank My Interpet Fish Box Cube tank which houses 4 Fairy Cichlids which have just had babies - about 30-40 of them! My Platy Fry tank My Main (for now) Juwel Rekford 96l with mainly platys but i have a few corydoras, and a...

As an update, I have mocked up a floor plan and I have some pictures of the shed but I need to take them off of the camera first :P
