Building My LED Light

I've been really busy these days as well, my wife found Craigslist and I've put more miles on the SUV going after stuff for her. I got the 55 out of the deal. Now I have to rearrange a room so I can set it up. The money she saves, I burn up in gas. :rofl:

I've got so many projects going, one more won't matter. SO the LED hood will be much nicer than the old way of lighting and a lot cooler looking. Not to mention the savings on the electric bill.
 
I think I'm really going to Like the end results. Any way here are some new pics.

I still have to add some interior supports so that it sits at the right height. Then some staining and paint.

This is a pics as the tank is now. I'm still battling a cloudy water issue, but it is getting better.

I don't know, it's taken forever to get this far. My wife wouldn't like it if a started another project. Unless you want to spend 500$. Then we could talk.

I will post an overview of what I've learned and some dos and don'ts. Hopefully they will be helpful. I think this will be how I do the light for my next tank.
 
So, what do you have right on top of the tank to keep the water in and the salt creep away?
 
EWW... trael... you don't know how to setup an aquarium do you? look at all that ammonia... I haven't seen a tank that bad for a little while (2 hrs) ur suppose to cycle it... anyway... water problem should be gone after many fish die and ammonia goes down
 
I wonder if this type of lighting would work for a marine aquarium? I think Moon Lights are made using LEDs.
