Wanted: Marineland LED

[paddyob]

I need a light for my clown breeding tank. Thinking a simple cheap Marineland LED. No need for anything special. It's just to add light. No growing.

Anyone have one for sale? 24 or 36".

Thanks.

You can probably diy yourself a decent light for that purpose using sections of 5050 or 5630 SMD LED strip lights. They come in 5 meter roll that you can cut to size needed. 12 volt dc power supply and maybe even a dimmer & you're good to go. Take a look at posts 54 & 61 on page 2 of my DIY LED build. I used these strips to supplement my hight power LEDs. Mine are RGB, but you can get single colour cool whites that should do the job nicely. Link is down there by my sig block.

I have a Marinland 36" with blue and whites. I'll pm you my digits of you're interested? It came with my new tank 2 months ago and was used for a day

Unfortunately you are too far. Looking for local pick up only. Thanks for the offer.

For my seahorse fry raising I use clamp on light fixture from Home Depot with spiral compact bulbs in them.
The ones I have are similar to this: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/aluminum-reflector-brooder-clamp-light-150-10-1-2-inch/969081 (http://www.homedepot.ca/product/aluminum-reflector-brooder-clamp-light-150-10-1-2-inch/969081)
You can buy them with or without reflector.

Thanks but going to try LED. No bulbs. Less heat.

Thanks.
