Lighting Upgrade

I finally decided to see if i could upgrade the lighting on my 60L biorb - this is the solution i came up with



this what the top of the biorb looks like without the lid, i bought an Arcpod 9W and it fit perfect! then came the hard bit - with the new light sitting on the top of the tank without the original lid it looked a bit unfinished! so after a bit of carefull doctoring with a junior hacksaw blade this is what i came up with. i know its not proffesional looking but the lighting in the tank is now 20 times better than before.

p.s. in these photos the light is not on!

Good thinkin!! That's a good DIY!

yeh very nice

very nice great idea

Thanks all, its a bit rough round the edges but nothing a file wont sort up. You wouldn't believe how much difference a better light makes to a biorb!
