ive seen you post a pic of a submersible light before.do those work good and where can i find one?

I had one for awhile and it worked pretty good. Ask Whisk how its been working for him, hes used one for a few weeks now. I know you can get them at Petsmart, just when you get one make sure you get the package with the adaptor in it.

People are using the Marine LED's for growing chaeto?? Really? I have not heard of that!
I always used a small PC light over my chaeto.

well, i've been using the marina led light for a month and a half now, honestly, it was working just ok, i had some growth, but not much. My chaeto use to be right next to the light at the top of the water, but then sunk to the bottom and then became mush. Either because it was not getting enough light or something else.

Either case, I did some more research and I'm going to try plan B and get the submersible 10w lights found on discount pumps dot com and see how that works. If that doesnt work, i may have to try scraping off the back paint of the nano and adding an outside PC light fuge to it. We'll see
