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

    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 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.
