Hi,
I am currently in the process of constructing a new breeding set-up for a particular species of Killifish but I don't want to use large florescent lighting tubes and starter units. I would much prefer to make use of some LED strips if I can.
Problem is I don't know what I would need for the build and where to source these materials (Ebay perhaps)
My tanks (2) will be around 3' in length but I only want strips x2 of around 2' and I presume I will need some kind of transformer/s
Would a kind sole like to talk me through the process of the build and make a list of the items I'll need and where to source them
Thanks in advance
Regards
BigC

Hi you will need a 12V DC power supply, some strip board, LEDs, resistors and a soldering iron/solder.

I've been meaning to try this for a while, keep us updated

If you have a look in the planted section there's a couple of threads about led lighting rigs
