Ok, im not getting enough blue moonlight out of the stock LED's.

Has anyone had this issue or found a cheap way to solve this issue. I'd like to watch night life if possible.

Thanks

I believe rapidled has a kit for around 25 bucks shipped. Should be more than enough for that tank.

TT has the tru lumen led strips... $20 and like $20 for the power adapter, could be wrong but it's close. I am not to sure if Louis ever got any in at elegant but a phone call could verify.

I had them on the aquapod and they are really bright... I paid more locally than what they go for on the Internet as I hate to wait for stuff. But they are linkable so if you need more just link as many strips as you need but one should be fine.

I just tried to take pics but my camera doesnt do it justice.

I used one that I picked up from Elegant Reef. I wouldn't mind adding another but im limited space under the hood.
