gotfrogs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have been keeping 4 of my baby clowns in a stock 12 gallon Fluval Edge for about a month now. After adding a soft coral to the tank and realizing that the stock LEDs just weren't going to cut it, I decided to upgrade them. Following the instructions and information in these posts Stoops718's 12 Gallon Fluval Edge Nano ReefAdding an AI Nano Light I went ahead and ordered a AI Nano Super Blue LED and a Neptune Systems VDM. Here are some picture I took during the process. Masked top for paint job Drilled two holes and inserted hardware for painting. Covered the top with black contact paper for a nice (but less permanent) look. AI Nano installed in hood. Too tight of a fit, had to remove the top of the stock filter to accomidate cords. Finished product Link to comment

Ianfaulk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Do you have more pics, I have been thinking of doing this to my fluval. Link to comment
gotfrogs Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Those are the only pictures that I took. So far I am happy with the light. I am getting some algae growth but added a MP10WES today so hopefully the increased flow will help out a little. Link to comment
