asting Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 That'd work. I'm gonna order one and see how it works. I kinda wanna do a whole DIY led kit. I'd be careful velcroing. Some of the kits are designed to be thermally glued to heatsinks so that they dissipate the heat. Link to comment
JR! Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm gonna email modular led and see what they say Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 i repurposed my cube and made it my ato tank. maxi jet 1200 tops off reaaaaaal fast lolmight go with something smaller but i have a lot of height to this will work for now though I had issues with the MJ1200, I needed the power for the height but it was dumping too much water in the tank. Recently tried out the MJ900 and works really good. Toms would not work for me with the height. Link to comment
JR! Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 You will need a heat sink or something of the sort with the kit but I think it is good kit. Martin is most helpful if you have any questions. Another option might be to spend more and get a moon light with controller that simulates the lunar cycle. If you use a controller you may be able to just add a module to your existing controller. If you don't have a controller you can buy a stand alone. http://www.fishbowl-innovations.com/p/95/mooncomputer really want that one. Link to comment
JR! Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Looks quite cool. yea all i need to do is find a good way to mount it to the mh light. Link to comment

ccapasso Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 lost a chromis to the mp10 today. Sorry to hear Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I got a chromis and I hated it for a while, but now it's my favorite one to watch. My favorite all time fish is a bird wrasse, I love how they flap through the water and I realized one day that's exactly how the chromis swim too. Sorry for your loss, but at least they are easily replaceable. Have you thought about putting the foam guard on it? Link to comment

Have you thought about putting the foam guard on it? thanks guys. i think now might be a great time to get the foam guard. i mean it cant hurt to have it. at least the cardinals are smart enough to stay away from the mp10 Link to comment
