cool because this lil tank just gave me an idea..i hate it when that happens..lol
Rick
how do you think i came about doing this one lol? i got inspired by the dude that had a saltwater tank in a vase! after that i had to make the micro pico lol
I looked at the website you recomended and also found a kit on ebay like you! lol. I am not sure if it is the same guy but I wrote them about different colors and they sent me a pdf catalog. His name was boyatech on ebay. They said they could do 460-470 nm blue as well as white which is 6500k or so and the warm white. These will be great for modding my 5g hex cannopy.
I couldnt load it here but they have 3-5-10-20w led sets all included. 5w are about 15 dollars. if anyone was interested look him up or I could mail you a copy of the file. He will create an ebay add for you or do it with paypal for about 10% off.

Oh as far as your little kit went, was it wire on a plug? and there would be a prob wiring about 3 of these in a row would it? as the all have their own little drivers.

my driver wired one side to the LED and the other to 110v so right to a wall plug, i just simply gutted out the old lid, left the 120 hooked to the switch and just hooked the driver up to the other side of the switch so now the switch in the lid powers the LED on and off, not to sure about running multiples off the same 120 as i am not an electrician, maybe someone else can chime in.
this is the guy i got mine from, here is one of the sets, he only has 1 listed right now
kind of cool that the fan is right in the heat sink.

I am just saying... I wanted a 5w and it says that the fan/heatsink is one piece.
You dont think 5w will be to hot do you? I wanted to use less pieces and have more light.

not quite sure, my 3w gets pretty hot but it has no fan just heatsink, the fan is one more thing that could go wrong and one more thing to wire to make it work as well.
sorry about the late updates, i plan on switching tanks when the nano contest starts and starting over with a 2.5g tank for the nano contest from scratch, in the mean time the livestock in this tank will go into my 29g for holding.
here is a picture yesterday i took of a mini BTA i have in the tank
