What do you guys use for lighting over tiny little tanks?? I dont know of anywhere I can buy small lights, pics and details pls!

Could I possibly use normal lamp that is used on a desk or something??

Thanx in advance!!

That depends on what you want to keep in the tank. i have seen desklamps used before, if it takes a PC bulb then change it out to a 50/50 bulb and if its incandescent use one of the screw in PC bulbs in the 50/50 format. There are a few small PCs made just for nanos, like the Azoo Galaxy light. I have no idea whats available in Austrailia so you could either check with your LFS and see what they can get or try looking online. HTH, Skip

You can also check out www.marinedepot.com , www.premiumaquatics.com , and www.drsfostersmith.com and see if any of them can ship internationally. You can find several different lights suitable for your tank from these vendors. HTH, Skip
