This is quickly how I built a florescent canopy for my planted tank. It was with the special clips and the ballast was pretty cheap. i have some more videos on this. Videos 201 and around there I have more info on this project. This is DIY at its best.

  • i am wondering would reef capable leds work for dwarf sag

  • No offence but if your trying to convince people this is a cheap diy setup, it's not, each of those bulbs needs to be replaced every 6-8 months due to fade and that adds up really fast when your using 8 fluorescent tubes in one fixture. Just my 2 cents....

  • is this dangerous at all?

  • build stuff yourself and buy stuff from me

    haha

    , hella fucking funny

  • thanks dustin for the vid, im totally gonna try this shit out

  • damn i just have a single t8 i think its a 40watt, i need to upgrade

  • Nice vid man! Great info man!

  • apisto species sunday?

    Nice vid that's pretty much what I did...bought a ballast system...got a bulb and built the housing, you right you dont need to spend a lot on a good lighting system :)
