i will be getting some led light bulb from dealextream. anyone has any idea if this led light bulb is equivalent to how many watt T5 light?
- 84*1210 white Ultra bright LED emitters
- Rated voltage: 85~265V
- Lumen: 588 LM
- Color temperature: 6000~6500K
- E27 connector
i might need 2 or 3 per rack.
thanks for the help.

Hi Alan

I didnt see or notice your thread till now!

Wow! you did an amazing DIY overflow piping system.

Can you help me create one for my 4ft paludarium..waterfall,filtering system and pipiing system for me? Maybe perharps I show you my design in CAD of my piping system? I 've pondering to create a fast flow stream within ..will be using 2000l/hr or 2500l/hr pump to create fast flow stream.

well done bro...will expected to see more pictures after you beautify your room.

Bro, i have been looking for the tree like drift wood that you have in your first picture. Been looking high and low.. Would you please tell me where to get it? Been wanting to tie a drift wood such as this piece with weeping moss as center piece.. Would appreciate your advise..

[eviltrain]

i dug the bogwood pile for this piece at NA. try your luck. on piece cost around 10-15 dollars

[binniez]

I went to NA & several places too.. Unable to find such a beautiful piece.. Haha.. Just have to try my luck again.. Thanks bro Alan.. Nice set up u have there!

[eviltrain]

welcome, i really love that bogwood. one of the best i ever found, still can't find a theme for it yet. i will just let the fissiden grow on it first.
if you want i still got another pieace, not as pretty as this one but not bad looking.

[eviltrain]

i have receive this light from Hong Kong. haha, more DIY for me.

some small diy i did for my tank.


i just use a piece of acrylic bend around 2 cm at the top at right angle, paste all 3 digital themometer on the outside. then i stuff the 2 cm under the styrofoam board of the top tier tank. ( don't mind the 1st reading, its not link up with the middle and bottom tank yet.)



this is something i make for artificial hatching of fertilized eggs. the float is actually a styrofoam board with a hole cut in the center. then i place a tea strainer with extra fine holes which sit nicely on the hole of the sytrofoam board.



my US fissden bogwood tree.

-thanks for viewing-

[bai]

I really like your branchy with fissiden. see till buay ta han.

[jojoe]

Bro, now your setup look more perfect... Well done

[eviltrain]

brother bai, try tie your own fissiden tree la, then you will stop drooling.

thanks brother jojoe for your comment. hee hee. not really perfect la. still go problem here and there de.

[binniez]

Swee! If only i can find one like yours i tie long ago already.. Haha.. But i will tie weeping moss~ =X

[binniez]

In fact saw one at chaktuchak that time.. But seems abit crazy to carry driftwood back to singapore so i gave it a miss.. Truly regret till now..

[eviltrain]

the moral of the story, don't ever miss your chance.
that time when i saw this bogwood at NA, i quickly search the stack for similar ones. but nothing beats this driftwood. quickly buy and get some us fissiden. bring home and tie.
