uxdesigner Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Having recently upgraded from a Biocube 14 to an RSM 130 the one thing I missed were the brighter moonlights that the RSM is lacking. I went ahead and opened up the hood to replace the bulbs and noticed it would be an easy upgrade to add a couple blue LED's. Decided to go with 3 extra lights for a total of 5 including the 2 stock lights. There is no need to add an extra power source since I just tapped into the original power converter and the leds I used have resistors built it. Overall I am very happy with the upgrade with a nice bright blue color at night. Follow along and let me know if you are interested in some of the LED's I have about 30 if anyone is interested. Stock led light New led light 3 leds installed Connection hub New leds on Shot of new leds from under hood Close up of new led Brighter than the originals Link to comment
Red Sea Reefer Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I just got my RSM 130 up today. YES the moonlights are horrible. Do you still have any LED lights or know where I can get some to do your mod. Do you have any pics with the moon lighting on. Thanks for your time.
