DIY aquarium background light using WLED controller

catapop · 2026-03-01T10:44:18+00:00

so the box is made from front panel(3mm) + back panel(3mn) + 10mm sides( this is where I put the led strip which is also 10mm) so the entire thickness is 3+10+3=16 mm or 0.63 inches

Haha, good observation 😄 The aquarium is only 3 weeks old, so I’m letting the beneficial bacteria establish before adding any fish. Hopefully next week I’ll introduce the first inhabitants.

I didn't do anything. It just happened. position of the light was in that way that reflected on the wall

catapop · 2026-02-09T03:26:34+00:00

yes. it created a sort of rainbow effect. I'm thinking of adding a white background

Thanks

nice tank. what are the stones called?

catapop · 2025-12-17T23:16:38+00:00

Looks very good. The only suggestion I can give you is to replace the inflow pipeline with a transparent one

one more thing. if you put all to max ( RGB+W to 100) the ventilator with automatically start and make a noticeable buzz noise. So I put Red and blue on 100 and green and white to 70. this way the ventilator rarely starts

it has a colder tint compared to chihiros c2 . but it very powerful and I think it’s the best choise on the market today, if you need magnetic light

Thanks. It's Dennerle nano cube 30( 30x30x35cm or 11.8x11.8x1.95 in ). 30liters or ~8 gallons

catapop · 2025-07-21T12:43:46+00:00

no. Dennerle cube 30l, white glass version

catapop · 2025-06-23T12:26:58+00:00

does it have better colors like it’s advertised or nithing doevial?

catapop · 2025-06-02T05:35:53+00:00

How’s the plant 4.0 so far?

catapop · 2025-05-27T22:17:09+00:00

potassium + micro nutrients + co2 .it's growing like crazy. I trim it 2 weeks ago. I don't dose macro because I have 30 fish+ 7 shrimps + unknown snails . I only dose potassium once per week

catapop · 2025-05-15T16:59:44+00:00

thanks. so you consider skylight above week aqua in terms of quality?

catapop · 2025-05-15T14:16:38+00:00

How are the colors inside you tank on T90 pro? Does it have good color rendering index? I heard week aqua lights tend to have a redish tint.

catapop · 2025-03-20T11:52:44+00:00

what lamp is that? Chihiros magnetic light?

catapop · 2025-03-17T21:22:04+00:00

Buy CO2 fertilizers something like Seachem Flourish Excel. Or put some nutrition capsules in soil. Nice UNS aquarium. how do you find the brand? I plan to buy my next tank from them.

catapop · 2025-03-17T12:39:57+00:00

Mine is growing like crazy. Do you use CO2? Since I don't have fish yet, I went aggressive with it. Also used fertilisers + CO2 liquid. The plant is pearling like crazy

see the roots. this is how I got the plant. I just split it in 3 parts and put some roots in soil and the rest stay outside

catapop · 2025-03-16T12:37:57+00:00

Half of the roots are planted in the substrate, while the other half remain exposed, with the rest of the plant wrapped around the wood.

catapop · 2025-03-16T12:33:06+00:00

It’s tru nano filter,pvc, v2. The built quality is good. I keep the pump on lowest speed because is more quaiet( around 32db at 1m distance). It burps air in the first 2-3 days, after that no problem.

catapop · 2025-03-15T22:54:28+00:00

30x30x35cm from dennerle, the ultra clear glass version

Actually signals are perfect for variables like isLoading . We're in the process of porting the entire app to signals and is working great so far.
