LED lighting

[KansasNative]

Ordered and received the LED panels as in my first post.
They support a 200 gallon freshjwater tank.

The results are excellant. Nice green algae is growing profusly
on bothsides of the substrate.

LEDs use less eclectricity, thay are cool to the touch. NO issues.

Try them you will like them. I do not sell them and am not associtaed with
any vendor that does. :!:

check out: www.ledwholesalers.com and click pn LED Grow lights

225 LED panel for around 40-50 dollars. Seesm as white works just a little better then the red
and blue panel.

Hope this helps.

I just set up my 200 gallon fresh water tank about a couple of months ago.
I have one very small fish, just so bacteria can grow. I am waitinng for spring to collect native fish.

Algae scrubber screens are covered with algae and with only one fish in a 200 :!: I checked nitrate level, it is zero.
The algae must be eating something. :?: Only add a minisculre amount of fish food daily.

Well LEDs are working just fine. Cool cheap light.

Good that it's working now, but remember the test for a scrubber is in a loaded tank. A screen should be able to grow one inch thick GHA, on each side of the screen, in 7 days. So your 200, when loaded, should be able to grow about one pound of (wet) algae every 7 days. Enough to fill a pint jar (1/2 quart)

I am sure if it will grow in an unloaded tank it will grow better in a loaded tank.

Desperately want a picture...

Here are some pictures. This LED system is on a 200 gallon freshwater tank. There are two (2) LED panels, one front with Red/Blue (the side pictured) and the other panel is all white LEDs. The raw water input is located at top, flows down the mesh and collects in a 10 gallon tank. The water then exits through a bottom drilled hole and into a 30 gallon sump, here it gets pumped back to the 200 gallon tank (enroute it passes through a particulate filter, charcoal and UV system).

Is this enough detail ? I know the pictures are bright. If not good enough let me know and I will try again.

Hope this helps.[attachment=0:250a1uvj]Algae Scrubber Red Blue LED side.JPG[/attachment:250a1uvj][attachment=1:250a1uvj]Algae Scrubber backside red blue LED.JPG[/attachment:250a1uvj][attachment=2:250a1uvj]Algae Scrubber LED 200 gal.JPG[/attachment:250a1uvj]
