How many for a 10 Gallon tank?
I know this video is older but have you ever yet teied newer higher output LED single bulbs for this setup?
Just remember, Excel is NOT a CO² Supplement.. it's more of a sterilizer than anything else. Dose your tank with adaquit liquid ferts.
Hi, Real Nice! 180 in man KAVE 110G Looking too due,my style
Im a poor student and this clearly works on well on your tank.... so!!! I have a 10 gallon no fish yet just want to set plants up first and Im going to put one of these clamp lamps with same bulb on it. Thanks to your advice. Especially because tank lights can be so expensive like whaaat. wish me luck.
They dont fall down in the water. 5:45 drags light out of water.. Thats fine.. xD
If you're in the US, Harbor Freight has 10k lumen 5000k LED shop lights for $50. SKU is 56780. They are linkable with power cables so you can string a few lights together for multiple tanks on one switch. Also these lamps arent available, and similar ones are now $27...
I like where you’re going. I don’t like that there’s not much keeping those lights from flopping over in the tank when no one’s home. Odds are it throws the breaker, fries a couple fish max, but still, makes me leery

Hi. I just added 2 of these lights to my tank. I only have 3 plants so I thought 4 might be a bit much. It's a 75 gallon tank. Do you think that's enough? It seems super bright and I'm wondering if 4 would be harmful to my fish. Any input you could provide would be appreciated.
Awesome! Question: what about the heat from the light?
What percentage of water do you remove for the water change?
I would properly make a wall mount, for the lights, and put a glass lit on the aquarium, just for safety.
fast forward to 2022, do the same thing but with screw-in LEDs
Hi I have a question do I need to take the rocks out of my tank?
are you saying for angelfish fry dont run sponge filter at all for a month my were free swimming and they all died they were only 4-5 days old, only use side sponge filter, and as per water changes how often to do with new fry
Thanks this is super good advice cheers friend
What about a long term review with the water evaporation
What a clever and well thought idea and very economical! I'm heading to Home Depot. My plants are dying with LED. I have a Finnex Stingray and it's not cutting it at all. Florescent is the best for overall plant growth
What do you do with the fry when they get to selling age?
i do agree that there are many cheaper but still effective options for plant lights or aquarium plant lights, compared to what is marketed as an aquarium plant light and the hefty price for it. I'm more paranoid about electricity and water contact, even splashing water, so I'd set the lights up a little higher for my tank, which means clipping the lights onto some other object besides the side of the tank, but otherwise, that idea is sound and very effective.
Electrocution risk. Accidents do happen this one will be fatal
Good one but the water would be boiling
So glade to see your video
I do use these type of diy but they produce heat and my concern is when those little waters evaporate they will get into your electrical system and you or my system could get us electrocuted. I believe this is not a long term solution.
@Anthony Rai ... Can’t use find a plastic sheet that covers the majority to the top of your tank, or use saran wrap.
Um.....if you have any standard lid, its not an issue(or even without one come to think of it.) You are not going to get electrocuted. Just use LED lights. They dont produce heat and even the natural evaporation of water will NOT build up enough on the light to cause electrocution. Think about it...outdoor porch and landscape lights, streetlights, signs etc get rained on all the time. No one dies, lol
Good video. New subscriber
i spent $26aud for one of these bulbs XD ... Worth it.
Omg. Burn it all!
Has the the right approach 6500°K. , high lumens but CF lights have contain mercury. You can find comparable LED lights for DIY nowadays.
Yes but I’m just seeing that I have baby angel fish in my tank. After almost wanted to give away these to Angels because they killed my other two angels. I’m just now seeing it because there’s babies. So I can’t take them out of the tank because they’re on top of my house
This is a great solution for great lighting especially if you are on a budget. I have a Nicrew Classic Gen 2 on side of my 75 gallon tank and two of those clip on lights on the other side and they are just as bright as the side with Nicrew lighting.
I like this style of light but I wish some company would make a waterproof version. Seems too risky to me, even with a glass top.
Just put the light up higher. That means less effective power but for the sake of feeling safer, it could be a good trade-off.
Been looking for a replacement for tank light. Ive been thru atleast 10 videos already. And thank you, i think i already found what i’m looking for.
This is my favourite video about aquarium lighting. Thank you!!!
these are too cute :3 just, TOO CUTE.
Great tips bud! straightforward...
No air pump, no water movement or did you turn everything off just for the video?
Link to the lights?
You said you didn't have 200$ to spend on aquarium light but that's pretty much what you ended up paying for this setup right?
No... he tells you all the prices...
$15 x 4 bulbs, $7.50 x 2 bulbs, and $9 x 6 clip lights, so about $129. Saved $71 (though he got the 4-pack on sale for $10 but I'm calculating with the normal price in case others don't get it for $10) However, in reality, the setup could probably be OK with less clip lights (eg, maybe 4 instead of 6). However, with 6, he definitely has a good tank to prove that 6 is really good. But the main idea is, like the video says, the bulb is the important thing. Whatever you find that is cheaper or more expensive or more DIY or less DIY work to mount the lights, is up to you.
Do you have a link for the bulb?, i only see the 100 watts one...thanks.in advance!!
Just get two Finnex Stingrays. $52 solved.
If thats the real donald trump ima trip tf out but i like the vid loved it
This aquarium is very beautiful where I bought that lamp?
do you have any air filtration in your planted tank ?
How many clip on lights for a 10 gallon planted tank
I'd go with 2
It’s not sleek but it’s not ugly it actually has that industrial/urban look
hey there is a much better way to grow pearl weed it grows like crazy if u wanna know how its done dm me on insta @legendary_garoc or just reply but insta is better for me
Looks very dangerous clip it to the back over open water
I love this video. I'm tired of buying led strip lights that cost over $30.00 and don't even last a year. This is the most helpful aquarium videos I've seen so far this year.
Really led strips here costs 2/3 Dollar 100 meters
@@SatouKazuma 3m of RGB & white in my country is $35
Nice one mate
