Yes, always gotta tinker with stuff :)

Hi all Just wanted to share an idea that I've been playing with.... I've decided to re-scape my old 4 x 2 x 1.5 ft stock tank and wanted to try something new lighting-wise. I've got four GroBeam 600 strips, but wanted a new, neat way of mounting them to the tank itself. I can't suspend...

Yes I think it's just been re-branded - looks the same as before anyway. Did you have good results with it? They look a bit like Christmas lights but I've put a hood over mine so you can't see them directly. Will be interesting to see the effect once the tank's running...

Hi all I know quite a few people are using TMC GroBeam lighting, mostly the Natural Daylight 6500K. I've used these myself for a couple of years with pretty good results. TMC recently added a "Colour Plus" model to the GroBeam range and I've managed to get a couple of these which I'm putting...

To get even spread, I'd say you will need a minimum of 4 AquaRay units - I'd probably go for the GroBeam 500's at 6500k. You could use the T8 adaptors to mount these in place of the existing T8 bulbs - this would be the neatest install, but not sure that you would get enough spread (LED's are...

Are you planning to retain the hood, or go open-top? TBH, if you want to get the best from LED's, they need to be mounted at least 100 to 150mm above the water surface - not really possible with a closed hood.... That said, I did retro-fit some LED strips (TMC AquaRay's) into a Juwel hood, and...

Have to agree: for a tank this size, I wouldn't hesitate - 2 GroBeam 1000's would be pretty much perfect. And you wouldn't need anywhere near a grand....more like a few hundred :P

Hi Stu Forgive poor quality - photography and 'scaping not my strong points - but couple of pics of gloss under 1000ND's in my 4x2x2: Water depth at substrate is about 47cm...

No argument about TGM being a major player in the planted scene...I guess I'm just puzzled by why they would so vocally denounce a technology that has been proven by some reputable people, which clearly has a place in the hobby and which pretty much everyone agrees is getting better and better...

Hi all Just wondered if anyone had noticed this from TGM website? Is it just me, or doesn’t this fly in the face of all the current evidence? I have 3 x GroBeam 1000’s over my 4 x 1.5 x 2, and can only concur with the positive feedback provided by George and others elsewhere under the...
