You can use this to make great vivarium backgrounds though ;) I did!

So at night when your plants are using oxygen and not producing it? It's not right keeping this many fish in a 15ltr, don't expect to get any other response off the users in here. We all try and take great care of our fish and shrimp and overcrowding is something a lot of us try and avoid!

Damn I was looking at these recently for a few nanos. Might have a go at diying some Cree ones.

Do you know what kelvin they are? In my experience LEDs have always trumped t5's they don't look as bright to the human eye but the par and directed light output means plant growth should be a lot higher than with t5's In this respect you can't really trust your eyes, brighter to you isn't...
