    Hi I have a Roma 90 which has a closed top with T8 tube lighting. It is time for me to replace the tubes and I've been thinking I'd rather have LED's. I like the closed top because I have cats and my panda Cory's often jump and hit the hood so wouldn't want an open top. Does anyone know of...

    Upgraded My Fluval Chi 5G Lighting! Heyooo!

    So I was talking about it the other day, and ordered some of the SMD5050 LED light modules, and although they are no where near the high powered LED lights, they are a good DIY light that seem to run at fairly low heat, will grow low light plants very easily, and are great mostly for aesthetics...
