Nanocube Lights

[wrboyle]

I just recently set up my 12g NanoCube DX and, well, I can't quite figure out the lighting. I know how to turn on and off the main lights but I cant figure out the LEDs, do I need to go and buy them seperately? The box says with LEDs for night viewing but the only switch I seem to find is the one for main lights, am I missing something? Help!
Thanks,
Walter

sometimes if the LEDS are included they run all day with the normal lighting, so if your lights have seperate plugs set the daylights to a seperater timer...

I just went and looked and there don't even seem to be any LEDs. My two flourescent bulbs are half white and half blue, and I cant find any LEDs anywhere. Is the blue half of the light their version of the LED?

Ok, I'm beginning to think mine does not have an LED, perhaps the are different generations of the nano dx (though I could swear that my box said it had an LED). Given this, I have started to think about the merits of buying a new hood, one with a bit more lighting and an LED. Does anyone have any suggestions? I looked at one website but I think they only had kits and I'm not an electrician so I'm a bit leary of trying to do it myself. Thanks!

I have the 24 deluxe and the switch is on the top of the hood

The switch is on the top in the 12g too; however, only on the newer model. The older model, probably the one you have, doesn't have a switch. The older model has the blue and white lights on one switch.
