Well, they are still alive and swimming. No sign of a cycle yet. The scrubber is still not showing any algae yet either. Its been cycling a week now.

Awesome, its always so exciting to get a new project like that underway.

Here are a few cell phone pics, nothing high quality though.
The glow in the upper back left is the algae scrubber LED's.
Dont mind the pump.

I would like to share a link of the LED driver I have been using for my LED DIY Display fixtures I have been making. Before these I had been using the 16 dollar non dim-able from rapidled. This is the new place I have found: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-L...item27c4724d81 .
I was getting them from topledlights but he has been out forever and I need two of them to finish my 150G fixture. I have not put my meter on these to get the specs but they are brighter at 14 LEDs then the rapidled unit and these will handle 4 more as well. The specs on the drives show the rapidled to be more powerful but to the eye this is not the case at all, the one in the link is noticeably brighter. Both are china units, the rapidled one is meanwell. I have had great service out of both and would not say one is any better but if someone builds display fixtures this info might be handy.
