A new (and weird) video for you!
Added 2018-03-04 03:51:29 +0000 UTCI actually intended to make this video months ago, but I kept teeter-tottering on whether or not to do it. Well, I'm on a time crunch this week, so it became a yes!
I hope you like it. This may seem out of left field, but it was an interesting and easy project with fantastic results.

Just a thought . . . <a href="https://www.banggood.com/20W-E27-166-Red-34-Blue-LED-Grow-Light-Plant-Lamp-Bulb-Garden-Greenhouse-Plant-Seedling-Light-p-1086850.html?utm_design=13&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=Mail_promo180309_email&utm_campaign=newsletter%E2%80%94emarsys&utm_content=Misue&sc_src=email_2889094&sc_eh=740cb7c012205cc21&sc_llid=351007&sc_lid=112224361&sc_uid=3ZMdM6kJyK&cur_warehouse=CN" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.banggood.com/20W-E27-166-Red-34-Blue-LED-Grow-Light-Plant-Lamp-Bulb-Garden-Greenhouse-Plant-Seedling-Light-p-1086850.html?utm_design=13&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=Mail_promo180309_email&utm_campaign=newsletter%E2%80%94emarsys&utm_content=Misue&sc_src=email_2889094&sc_eh=740cb7c012205cc21&sc_llid=351007&sc_lid=112224361&sc_uid=3ZMdM6kJyK&cur_warehouse=CN</a>

2018-03-08 06:26:01 +0000 UTCInteresting video, and a great low-budget / scrounger approach to building the new lighting. I cannot help but note that the tall decor object in the center of your tank looks eerily like one of those "alien creatures" seen strolling across the surface of the moon in the videos that Secureteam10 posts to YouTube!

2018-03-04 16:07:11 +0000 UTCI've never had any interest in setting up a saltwater tank just because it's seems a real pain! The YouTube channel I linked in the description of this video has some really impressive freshwater tanks, and I'd like to get up to his level someday. But the leap to saltwater? Not sure it's up my alley.

2018-03-04 16:06:26 +0000 UTCI know exactly what you're talking about! I can't say how it helps plants, but in my last tank I used about 10 rows of cool white 5050 SMD led tape, and 3 rows of red LED tape. This reproduced the purplish light of the "old" Aquarium lights nearly perfectly! I was tempted to do that with this tank and I might still, but the shimmer effect might become quite strange with a linear source of red light and point sources of white--it may have had red shadows dancing around. The CRI of these cheap chips isn't great, but since they have a very high light output it diminishes that problem. In person the tank looks great!

2018-03-04 16:05:01 +0000 UTCcould you do a video on saltwater aquariums? - these are a lot more interesting to a lot of folks in 2018 than freshwater

2018-03-04 11:32:54 +0000 UTCI used to keep tropical fish and used a fluorescent tube with a sort of purplish UV content to the light. It made the fish look amazing and plants grew like crazy. I wonder if there is an LED equivalent of this?

2018-03-04 09:29:05 +0000 UTCDo you share the problem of knowing too much about too many different subjects, which tends to alienate a high percent of people, given the fact that a high percent of folks are really insecure? - You and I are the types that would not do well in the deep South, which seems to be insecurity central, and from living here, boy do I know first hand! - lol
