Welcome. I have a 24 gallon Aquapod with a glass top and T5 lighting but would like to go to LED. What fixture do you have on yours.

New to the hobby? You sure? That's a well thought out BC29 setup... very impressive. Keep it up!

Is that the stock Biocube LED hood? Good set up man. Just because he's knew doesn't mean he didn't do his homework or lurked really long haha.

Well after looking around at LED fixtures and read about what other people have done I went with this DYI setup from aquastyleonline.com. I'm liking the look of the LED a lot.

I'm new to this hobby but I did not just walk into a pet shop and buy stuff that some person told me to buy. I spent a few month read about the hobby online and books before buying anything.
