Coming back to the frogworld after a two year break. Dusted my old tanks and started my new project. Really excited!
So for a start I've decide to upgrade my lighting system to LEDs, but cant really afford those LED reef lighting systems. So I've instead built my own hood and use some GU10 CREE LEDs.
This is for a 45x45x45 Exo-Terra, which I have now decided to modify heavily (More pics to come).
I am now waiting for my GU10 light bulbs and I've gone for
- 4 CREE Daylight 6500k (3X3W)
- 2 CREE Warm 3500k (3x3W)
- 1 Orange Led (3W) for dusk and dawn effects
- 2 Blue led (3W) for moonlight effects
I'm planning to pain to whole interior with fire retardant silicone and painting the exterior black.
So, anyone out there with experience on making their own hoods can provide any feedback?
Cheers everyone for reading!
