metrokat Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 LED aficionados, ever heard of this: Want to impresse someone with nighttime viewing? Turn it solid BLUE. Want to catch that difficult to catch fish with a simple dipnet without it hiding in fear, wait until night and turn the lights RED -most fish can't see red light! Want to calm newly introduced fish in the tank - turn the lights to a comforting CYAN. Want to simulate an early sunrise or late sunset - turn the lights amber. Want to simulate deep ocean depths - turn the lights purple. 2 Quote Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Kat - holy crap - I knew this hobby was expensive but designing my new build Wow. Lighting and MP10s... I'm probably going to have to skip the MP10 and go with a MUCH smaller build than originally planned. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've been dreaming up a light fixture with Bennys help and I'm going to have to sell my cat's fur. 3 Quote Link to comment

beebes Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yup. I've been dreaming up a light fixture with Bennys help and I'm going to have to sell my cat's fur. Would not buy, maybe if his name was Mumford. With the r420r lights and a single mp10 w, i'm looking at 1400 bucks minimum before rock, sand, etc. Yeah and the tricky thing about not going with the best of the best is that unless you have extreme self control and willpower, you're likely to upgrade to the fancy stuff eventually anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's a dog eat dog world where mushrooms eat fish. I used a shedding tool on Bogi the cat and I have a good deposit down on Jedi's light I think. 4 Quote Link to comment
Deleted User 3 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 You know you don't feed enough when.... I cut down to once a day because my nitrates were spiking lol., alot of pellets and mysis end up on the sand because the fish are stupid, so you'd think it would have enough food... Freaked me out.. At first I thought they were just by each other... poor thing.... S: I used to like bristleworms until now... lol Kat, why are you changing the lighting? 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I did already. They're now T5s. Jedi and I are working on a secret project. Well mostly Jedi. Me I just pay him with cat hair. 1 Quote Link to comment
