aluminum T5 addon





Since the tank has switched over to LEDs I've not had the desire to add any T5s to my tank. But due to the recent lack of activity/purchases to my tank i felt like I needed to do something. So this project was born.

I wanted to do something that was modular, that allowed me to me to add these T5s on quickly and without much work yet work efficiently. The T5 ballast i decided to go with is a brand called sunblaster. A fixture that has the ballast built into the light strip that has its own sockets, the reason was they recently just came out with individual reflectors that was small and also remove-able and modular.

The T5 light addon allows me to aim the T5s anywhere from 45degrees from the water surface to parallel to the water surface. It also allows me to remove them whenever I want as to say the addon is not a permanent thing which is great.

Here are the pictures.
