That's beautiful lol he was talking too much so I fast forwarded few minutes and the tank looks mint

Having crabs and lobsters sounds good though I'd be tempted to breed Em and cook lmao

I'll have to search if I have those Oscars if o can get a turtle or two in :) I want turtle and Oscar :D


Malawi's an oscars are edible lol and of course lobsters and crabs an shrimps

Malawi's and oscar's are in the cichlid family and are not like the rest of fish kind. Very intelligent fish in many ways, oscars can be trained with a whistle for instance. And most oscars can learn to jump out of the water through a hoop u hold in about a week

is it the blue fish mini $99 you are after? it only works with the meanwell ldd drivers, not a problem.

the blue fish is twice the price at 200 $ and it does work just like you say ive just had a look  seems good

What about summink like this for lighting it might be an good cheap option, a bit of mastic to glue it place, jobs a good en, different colors too , even disco style, but looks like its got plain white lighting on settings too. If you scroll to lower right of page theirs alot more similar options in a sub menu.

 

I like fishiventures as well m8 ill follow this too. :)

i wonder if you can train fish to disco dance ....

 

is this the sort of thing you are thinking about i got it from planted tanks.net  it runs vero leds in to colours 5000k and warm white so something like 3000k  , is it white light you want of other colours 

 

jim this is only a guess but  i think they might not be strong enough if there is plants you need to simulate sun light i think , it all new to me but very interesting, ive not had a tank for years but i feel the juicse flowing again  :)

Sooo what we talking in materials?
A ballast?
Led
Some kind of control unit?
Heat sinks?
Something to mount it all on?
What else?
