Ughhh still didn't order the tank tonight

I want to get some LEDs but I dont know which to retrofit?
I'm torn between 2 strips of 4 bulb powerbrites or 4, 5 bulb r2 moonlights! I don't know which will work best! Any advice guys?

Go 1 strip of powerbrite and put it in the front. Heres a before and after pic of a guy that had t5's and added a powerbrite to the front of his tank

Wow that looks really nice. Are those the 10k or the blue ones? I think I might get 2 blue strips. I've heard that they give off a spotlight effect so I just wanna make sure my whole tank is covered by light lol.
Do u think the white would make a difference when I have the halide running?

thats the royal blues. if you tilt them a bit so that they cast the hole tank, they do not create a spot light effect. two of them for your tank will overpower and always look too blue

here this was done by nano-newb
First you will notice in the back of your tank you will have three chambers. In the 1st you will have a big sponge, 2nd small sponge, bag of ceramic rings, carbon and bio balls. 3rd you got your pump.
Now to start off i want you to take everything out of chambers 1 & 2. Dont touch 3.
Next i would like you to go to LFS or search online for these items.
Chemi-pure
Purigen
Chaeto
Fliter Floss
Small Light.
In Chamber one you will want to put in the Chemi-pure, Purigen and Filter Floss. The Filter Floss is optional, if you do use it i would replace every week or two, depends on how dirty it get.
Chamber two Is where you put the Cheato and light. The best way for it, is to add the Cheato in a cup. Keeps back area a bit cleaner. Now for the light i have an AZOO PALM LIGHT Cant post links, but google it and you will find it. When i added this light on back my cheato has been growing like crazy

My chamber overflows to one middle one though and goes out through 2 separate pump chambers on either side. Would it be ok to put chemipure elite and cheato in the same chamber? And if cheato is in a closed container how does it benifit the tank? Haha sorry I just never tried tgis in a nano before.
