hmm...im not sure sphelps. it says 24W on the page, unless thats just a code. its 96 LED bulbs, so i guess i just have to find out the wattage and lumen of each bulb..

EDIT: haha, i was wrong. its only 9.6 watts of LED, but 480 lumens in all. is that any good?

haha, so i kinda changed my mind.. but just a lil.

it will still be AIO LED, but i want to do it like this:

http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...readid=1375191

now ive been using some paper to just make examples of my built in fuge (im quite tactile :P) and thats been working out not bad for planning.
but when i look at it and think about how much room i'll have with the foam added, its like,"how does this guy on RC make his tank look SOO big?"

so i'm still thinking about it, but i might be doing the 'ol switcheroo

you see, my desk right now is crappy and wouldn't be able to hold up a 10 gallon, and also the way i want to put it it wouldn't fit a 10 gallon. so i would have to get a new desk (which i want).

now heres the devious part. i want a new 5.5 because the one i have right now isnt in the best shape..so im going to tell my mom and step dad im getting a new one AFTER i get my desk, and then go with my actual dad and get a 10 gallon, take off the stickers, and then replace it.

now your wondering,"wont they notice? are karazy's parents really that slow?"
That's where the new desk comes in. its pretty easy to just say"it looks different because of the new desk." if that doesn't work, i'll just either say i got the wrong one.

now, i am not lying. it would look different, and it would have been the wrong one.

haha, i feel devious now

haha, im usualy a good kid, so its not too bad. its only like an extra 5 gallons anyway, it should be fine

if i was a parent i wouldnt want to go after me. im well trained in taekwondo, wrestling, and parkour :P

I'm gonna follow this thread, that idea looks so awesome. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. It actually makes me want to do a tank up like that now too.

thankyou very much!

Yeah, im really exited for it. im not sure where to find that black plastic sheet though. if i cant find it i guess i will settle for eggcrate or something close to that.

Try the craft store. It looks a lot like what some crafters use for some types of needle work. I know it's sold in white so I'm assuming it can come in more than one color.
