    Help building LED for 5 gallon

    Hey, so I have a 5 gallon tank. It has a 10 watt 50/50 light on it and the coral thats in there is doing fine with that. I want something a bit stronger. I want to build an LED system for it. If anyone could give me an idea of how many LED I would need and which color and type.

    Thinking of buying tube worm

    Actually, now looking into it (since this is a birthday present) I think I may just ask for the Yellow Watchman goby instead lol, its a really nice looking fish.

    Lighting idea

    Thanks for your input! Thats sand by the way, not gravel. I was thinking of breaking or doing something with that live rock. I really liked the idea of one big pice but I may change that. The tank was fully cycled before ANYTHING was added to the tank. There is a turbo nail, some other black...

    Lighting idea

    Ok so I took the back part off and put the light on top of the tank. Would this be any good for the coral at all? Its not a blue light or anything special, its just a normal aquarium light. Would this be good for coral or no? Please help me out thanks!
