Aqua Clear 30

[diego]

I have an Aqua Clear 30 that I want to turn into a small fuge. The question I have is what would you recommend for a small light for it.

Home depot flood lamp. Not sure how big your AC is, but I use about 90 watts on a 20-25 gallon section of the fuge.

I found a 25 watt clamp on light and I hung it to the wall because it was too big to clamp on the Aqua Clear. I put some culerpa in there and it is up and running. I think this filter is the easiest to convert. It is not a big fuge but it will work.

Oh, an Aqua Clear HOB filter? Check these out:

There are several manufacturers selling similar lights -- LED and fluorescent are available.. Thats not the only one, it just came to mind (as I was browsing the CADlights site recently..)

Agreed -- the AquaClear filters are a cinch to mod into a 'fuge, and come with those convenient mesh filter carriers -- you don't even have to provide your own mesh separators! :D I was gonna convert an AquaClear 70 and use it on a Picotope tank for my work aquarium, but went with a BioCube 8 instead :)
