[QUOTEhttps://www.kcfishclub.org/forum/index.html ][/QUOTE] I have had fish for decades. I am looking to do LED lighting. They now have weather patterns...ie storms with lightning, over cast part sunny day, moon phases. Truly cool. I bought a set for my 125g ($180)and 30g ($110) "Current: Satellite Freshwater LED + from Drs Fosters and Smith (online pet store that I recommend), but they didn't have a timer. I called Current and they have a Satellite Freshwater LED + PRO for the 125g at +$300. Ouch. For years, I have had my fluorescent bulbs set on a Christmas Tree dial timer to turn on and off. The LED lights I bought do not have a timer much to my chagrin. Thus any ideas? A friend has a set up with LED from Fluval and an app to control his aquarium. In the end, LED with climatic programs and a timer is what I want. I don't need a blue tooth app. OR a good web site forum to visit, much like the CP for guidance? I do mostly cichlids...rift lake: Malawi and Peacocks. Recommendations? BTW, Since this thread inception, I have wanting to send pics of my tank to this thread. Alas, I am old and will figure out how to post and find time to do it. Last edited by Holladay; 10-28-2016 at 07:09 PM.. |

ONLY use Aqua-Illumination. I've sold hundreds of their units. Nothing compares to their products and customer service and the ability to customize them for your specific want.

Depends on the unit but they start reasonable and then can be considered high. But you will never buy another light

I will look into it a bit more. Keep in mind I had 2 x 48" fluorescent bulbs set on a X-mas tree timer |

I love them Rodan is a eating machine he loves ghost shrimp I have a cage with a diver in it and the shrimp hide in the cage but that doesn't stop Rodan. He bumps it to shake them out of it and one time he got into it. Bad Ass! King Ghidorah is a king he doesn't do much but dwells on the bottom because he is short sighted or almost blind but he can lung and get around is a beast. I also have in my tank, my algae fish got huge and I've named him The Kraken. I got several guppies and a tiger barb and a red tail shark named Jaws. I think I need a bigger tank.

I've had King Ghidorah, Rodan, The Kraken and Jaws for over a year and they are doing great I am super proud of myself for taking care of them.

Amazing graceful swimmers and I love watching sneak up behind his prey and then in an instant snatch it. Beast

Needlefish are awesome little predators, basically mini-barracudas, I successfully raised one with a wild turtle in a 50 gallon tank for about 6 months... things got too nippy at the end though, and the mini cuda got traded back to the store Needlefish are beautiful to watch |
