Insane 10W LED light for Nano tank...

[jc12]

Thanks! I'll try 2 x 30W then. I am thinking of using extruded aluminium rods/square beams from our local hardware store for the stand.

just got a 50x30cm wire mash from Daiso to support my 20W LED floodlight. I would recommend these wire mash from Daiso as a cheap alternative. Daiso sells many different such wire meshs with different dimensions which can hold > 1kg worth of floodlights

Flood light, what Watt should I go for?
I have tight space Hence I can't hang it.. unless it comes with a bracket to hold onto the tank etc

depending on the tank size, but that question that I do not want to answer. I do not have enough experience with LED.

Yeah, at this stage of DIY LED light systems for planted tanks, its basically alot of trial and error. Just have to buy a set and try, see if it can grow the plants, if its too much light then get lower wattage versions or raise the lightset higher, if its too little light then get higher wattage versions or add more sets.

Somewhere along the way, you'll find the best combo that achieves nice plant growth, yet with minimal algae issues... then post a journal thread to detail your findings and share the knowledge.
