some question here, lets say the led T5 tube which my girlfriend bought for me is 230v-5watt, can i just fit them in my lightset with normal T-5 tubes??
i'm using 3 tube light set. 2 switch, 1 for 1 tube, another 1 for 2 tubes.

Happy Birthday in advance

Saw your video... really very nicely done. Since you using undergravel as your inlet to overflow system, does the water maintain stable all the while?

[eviltrain]

haha, i thank you in advance too
yah the water parameter is very stable, something like the water will go thru another filtration process before going to the lower tank.

Hi Alan,

Not sure if you already know this; but LED lights do not require the Ballast (boost) that's in the lightsets. You'll have to "short" (remove) them and connect direct to the 230V supply if you wish to use the same housing. Inwares (Merchant) has a nice "tutorial" posted to walk through the rewiring.

Cheers, and happy 28th birthday! ;-)

oh yah hor~! i forgot about that. stupid me... thanks a lot for that answer.

Hi Alan,

I am in the LED lighting business, from what i understand T5 LED tube should not have direct 230V input ( Due to size of T5, it hard to build in a transformer in the tube only T8 can do as they have bigger diameter) , if it a direct 230V input this T5 LED tube that you have should have comes with a external casing to compromise a step down transformer in it to bring 230V AC to 12V DC. If you had already remove the ballast and plug it into your current lighting case, your LED tube will get burn.

Btw, i am a noobie just trying to learn how to keep Shrimp and would like to learn from you. If possible can add me in [email protected] to teach me your knowledge?

Bought, 4 CRS but die on the 2nd day and my daughter is crying badly

Gonna learn much more before i start buying them again.
