I have been thinking of lighting my planted tank with LED flexible strips the type favoured by car modders.
I have seen these strips which are flexible and waterproof and only 12V so safe, they are very bright and also come in a variety of colours as well as colour changing.
They are also easy to fit and low wattage
I have a Juwel Rio 180 with T8 tubes + another T8 fixed to the back flap.
My thinking is to do away with the T8's and fix strips of LEDs on the flaps and light fitting to give a good cover of light and have worked out you could get 300 LEDs per flap.
Has anyone else used these LEDs? I know some have stuck blue and red led strips to the light fitting.
