_chubb_ Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi, I need some help deciding which one of these submersible pen lights I should use for a refugium inside an aquaclear hob filter. My research found that it seems like inTank stopped selling theirs because of quality issues. Any advice would be appreciated.

asting Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I just skipped the submersible and use this. https://www.amazon.com/Lights-Hgrope-Flexible-Gooseneck-Greenhouse/dp/B018HQSXB6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480877107&sr=8-3&keywords=grow+clip+light Link to comment

But you did give me an idea for using leds mounted under the lid of the aquaclear. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I want to say I saw someone so glued a quarter size heatsink to the underside of the lid,and covered the led/solder pads with silicone and used it that way. Maybe just cutting a hole thru the lid,and mounting the heatsink on the outer part of the lid ?! I found this: http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/274836-powering-1-3w-cree-led-for-a-fuge-light/ http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/316276-single-cree-led-aquaclear-fuge-mod/ I may do somthing like that and get a 3up,a moonlight driver from rapid and try a "fuge". On my upcoming build. Link to comment
cuboy Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I was thinking about picking up one of those amazon ones as well. Does anyone know if this would work? https://www.amazon.com/Mingdak-Aquarium-Light-Tanks-7-5-inch/dp/B00X84LMHK/ref=pd_sim_199_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00X84LMHK&pd_rd_r=C9A070GBCMKDXZ94K3YS&pd_rd_w=ZjJdX&pd_rd_wg=ObLqO&psc=1&refRID=C9A070GBCMKDXZ94K3YS Link to comment
uwharrie Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I just added one of these to my biocube. Too early to tell but so far it seems to be doing the job. It is BRIGHT.
