    Sweetness. What's the bar/strip light? It looks like cold cathode?

    also leds one of my lfs has a guy that makes them, im not totally sure on the output of the unit. guy sells it 30 bucks every 6" very similar to a stunner strip but uses more smaller leds here is a pic of the leds when they are off hard to get a good pic of though. i got it just to help blend the other led pendants better and i think it does its job well. i picked the 50/50 5k/455nm, im not sure if they offer enough par values to grow anything w/ just one strip but im sure a bunch of these would work awesome together.

    Is there a simple write up or guide to how you made your led light, the franken one.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Beautiful tank, the spot light effect with the scape is perfect. Looking forward to watching it progress.
