Will LEDs work for me?

[mcox3]

I'm putting together a 7x4x4 and i'd like to have blue LEDs on the tank for "moon lights".

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on what kind of LEDs I need. I can get the hook up at autozone, but i'm not sure how well these would work... or if i could even hook them up.

Any ideas... anyone?

also, keep in mind the tank is 4' deep.

have you checked out the cold cathode setups some ppl did here?? would work perfect for a tank that deep and cost way less.

Thanks bud!

That is a nice deep tank! Have you given any thought to small underwater lighting?

I have two of those in my 33 and i really like them. If your handy with wiring you dont need to buy the led hub cut and splice.

so here's a shot of the 210 with the cold cathode lights on... i love them...

my camera doesnt pick up the blue very well... i tried playing with some of the options and heres a neat one.
