Keeping multiple reef tanks, and building more tanks, both glass and stands than I have room for. That's why I am back here, to use one of my newly built tanks to throw it back to planted puddles. Looking forward to the journey.

I started a new one, as my initial post was lacking specifics and made me sound, well, a fool.

Hi Guys, I have a simple LED strip hanging over a tank however i would like to position a simple hobby desk lamp over the top and upgrade the bulb to an LED one. I have seen on ebay and on the internet the "blue grow light bulbs". I assume that these lights are used to growing weed in...
