You'll have to figure out how to get all the overflow to cover the whole screen.

[itzrulez]

that's easy ;D i've already tought on that!

HELP HERE!
this lamp http://www.dealextreme.com/p/10w-rgb-co ... 265v-51734 (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/10w-rgb-color-changing-flood-light-projection-lamp-with-remote-controller-black-85-265v-51734)
would make a good light for a 15g tank? with 40cm depht?

It might. That looks like an array of 9 LEDs and it's only 10W power so those are probably 1W LEDs. Plus you don't really need the 'color change' feature, I would think it would be hard to tune it in to the spectrum you want. Better off just using CFLs. Have you considered doing a horizontal scrubber fed from the overflow, going from one side to the other along the back, light on top? Nanos are really about the only time the horizontal scrubber has a use IMO.

i've tought to use that lamp, to light the tank, for the scrubber i have the lamp already! :D
look, i have a 2007 microsoft visio, to make projects, but i'm not getting success!
if i could do that, i would show whats on my mind!

[itzrulez]

Please! i need some Leds Masters here! :D
i need to make the lightining for a 15g tank!(2 blues for 1 white)

i want to make an AIO(all in one) tank!
with scrubber!
anyone have a picture of something about this? or some opnion?

I looked on that site and I didn't see any LED parts that would interest me for an aquarium project. If you have some direct links to products you were thinking of using I can give you input on that.

What kind of input are you looking for on the scrubber? What type of lighting where you thinking of using?

Are you planning only 3 LEDs for the main light on a 15G? I would go with something like the PAR38 bulb from http://www.rapidled.com, 7 LEDs, mixture of royal blue, cool blue, cool white, and warm white. They probably don't ship to Brazil though. Something to look at for ideas though.

[itzrulez]

i'm thinking in use E27 lamps, 2700k, in the back of tank...
and the led for the display, i'm thinking in 1:1 royal blue and cool white, with 14 leds!(42W)

i'm making some projects, about how its gonna be the "back sump", and waiting for some opinions!
tnx ace!

[SantaMonica]

I've only drawn up this one...
