Hey
well their were a couple people who were wondering how I did my LED's, so here it goes.

I took a 1" by 1" board, then cut it to fit my tank. I then marked the wood so that the LED's were 6" apart. The next thing I did was take a drill(sorry I don't remember the size, do some experamenting). I drilled a hole the same size as the LED half way or less through the wood. Then I took the smallest drill bit my dad owns and drilled two holes in side the big hole all the way through.

Then I took the LED's poked the wires through the small holes, make sure that all of the long wires are on the same side(LED's are polarized) then i took telephone wire sodered the wires to the telephone wire, then I took an adapter(I tryed a 6V, and a 12V, they both worked) sodered it to the end of both of the wires and there you go, $10 LED moon lights, now you can see what your fish are doing at night:D. I will poast some pics soon.
