Question by Jeff G: Will my aquarium light penetrate through acrylic glass?
The cover for my aquarium is a sheet of acrylic glass (a.k.a. plexi glass). I’m just going to place my light-colored right on top of the glass. Will that absorb too much of the light my live set need or will it be alright?
Best answer:
Answer by Tommy
It will get hotter than usual and the plants will absorb as much as they need but don’t leave light on more than 12 hours a day

A florescent illume does not put off heat, you’ll static need a hot spot where your turtles can bask. Try a clamp light.

Question by calwin94: LED Marine / Saltwater Aquarium Light?
I was wondering whether its possible to do a custom made LED light since if u buy from the shop the real deal its around rm2500 for LED lighting 2ft.My aquarium measures 2x1x1ft Is it a must to use Luxeon types of LED …which is 3W?Or tin I put the 5mm LED at .2W with many instead to compensate for intensity?Any guide or tips on how i should make it ? E.g. numbers of LED, minimum LED rating..Thanks!(In Malaysia)Its for corals which need optimum lighting. Not those really intense ones. For example.. anemone

Answer by Birdman
You can use LEDs, but there are some issues involved. For one thing, you will need an awfully lot of them. I doubt if the .2 W ones will be strong plenty. You will also need to make sure the colour temp. is good, and that the right frequencies of light are actually being produced. Its not that big of a deal for fish only, but it is for most corals and other inverts.People have been playing around with LED lighting in the last few years, so its still fairly new. There are a few commercially uncommitted set-ups available, but they are HIDEOUSLY expensive, and I don’t know what type of LED they use.

Question by : My compact flourescent bulb gives off 60 watts of light am I medium lighting for aquarium plants?
Can I have more plants cuz my plants are only “low lighting”5 gallons
Best answer:
Answer by Ianab
The watts per gallon guidelines assume fluoro lighting as the old style incandescent lamps are pretty much useless for growing plants.Depending on the tank size, you are probably low light, 1 to 2 watts per gallon. For a 10gal that light will be OK for low light plants.Ian

Question by saltwaternub: 60 LED light for moon lighting a saltwater aquarium. ?
are LED lights good for moon lighting?too much? i do not plan to have it right above the aquarium, more like mount it further away and turn it on.any opinions? i have a 34 gal hex tank
Best answer:
Answer by nosoop4u246
Really, I’d go with less than 60 (watts?). That would be far more light than you’d want, and it would entirely disrupt the inhabitants’ circadian rhythm, leading to stressed fish (and shrimp, corals, etc.). I would either go with just a handful of weak LEDs or a single “moonlight”.

Question by SunnyBlue: Aquarium safe glue for hood light bulb?
The swirly thingy inside the aquarium hood that holds the illumed bulb came off with the bulb. I found the illumining bulb sitting outside of it on the cover this morning. I tin’t take it back to the store because it comes with the aquarium and I do not desire to redo my fish’s home. What kind of glue could I use (that I could by from a store, not online) that is safe for putting the swirly thing back in it’s place? I can’t use the light or the hood till I do so.Thank you!

Question by here_4_1_day: Should i be worried if moisture from condensation sticks to my aquarium hood and light bulb?
It is a 5.5 gallon tank with a fluroescent light bulb (not the long ones). It dosent have one of those covers over the lighting so condensation gets on the light bulb. Is this dangerours/should i be worried? And does anyone has any ideas on how to block moisture from the bulb?
Best answer:
Answer by Laillia
That can’t be good! At the very least it’ll rust the ballasts of the light, whip, well you know what water and electricity do You could try to get a small piece of plexi-glass from your local hardware bin (they can cut to size) that covers 3/4 of the surface and put the light on top of that. Shouldn’t be too dearly-won for a small tank and should do the trick. Good luck!
