Hey all
im in the process of setting up a 180gal FO tank and my next purchase is lights, i have a old set of power compacts that im going to run atinics on and planned on buying some standard floresents for some white light. But i started thinking maybe a diy led setup well after a little research i found this maybe a bit more of a pain then its worth. Anyone done this successfully? Also thinking led rope lights like these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/120CM-60X-White-LED-Flexible-Strip-Car-Bar-Line-Light_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33713QQihZ019QQitemZ290207019547QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) or these (http://www.environmentallights.com/products/11958/Half_inch__Rope_Light_Track_6_feet-Silver) might work anyone tried this? Do you think either of these would work to off set the atinics if i ran maybe 4 rows or so across the top of the tank, also think i woud get a shimmer effect off these or not. Thanks for any help and opinions
