Rick Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hey anyone got any ideas/suggestions for cheap DIY moonlights? I don't mind a bit of drilling or wiring to build them but I don't want to go broke in the process either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be around again tomorrow? I have to run back out to Battleground again sometime during the day to pick my daughter back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Cut a hole in your roof. Full of spit and vinegar tonight are we?(laugh) I would do that but then I would need to cut open the top of this beautiful stand and I don't think my wife would be too happy.(scary) (Should have heard her when I knocked a hole in the back of one side cabinet to get the top off tank in) (wife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 They sell LED strip lights that are waterproof and only need an old laptop power supply to run them. They usually use them as an aftermarket add on in car headlights or for lighting walkways. They have a 3m adhesive back on them, but I used some additional glue to make sure mine stuck well. I'm using them on my coldwater tank since I dont need any specific spectrum. I got 6 of them shipped to me with power connectors for $24, Ebay FTW. They come in a ton of colors, including blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
