Anyone used underwater led lights?
First topic message reminder :
My 15g long has a screen lid and no light. I have a lamp that I set in front of it without a shade during the day and shut it off at night. Due to the screen lid I have to balance it on the tank...it is safe, but I wouldn't put a light on it so I have order a submersible 31cm/12 led. Just wondering if anyone else has used any type of underwater light. I know one of the associates at the lps had mentioned yesterday that she has one in her tank but...she also told me (tried to) that Apple Snails lay eggs in the gravel everyday...

But I like cheesy
Where did you get that?

I first saw it at Big Al's, but then found it on Amazon.ca for half the price so ordered from there.
Yah, it is cheesy, but I like it.

A lot of fish orient by light, so a light in the tank would set them off. That is more common with open water, quick moving fish, and very few of them are in the hobby. In the wild, a 'shark' would navigate great distances at high speed, so where the light is matters to them, be it the moon or sun.
Plecos and red tails don't travel much. I don't think it would bother them.
I use one screen topped reptile tank (it holds water just fine) and put a suspended pendant light over it, from the ceiling.

@GaryE I was thinking about doing that also but for right now it kinda isn't an options. I am hoping to soon be buying a house, then it will be an option I have noticed that Cockoo-Loca (the pleco) and the 2 Redtailed Sharks don't go very far...every now and then they will come out and swim around but usually they just kinda hang out in a cave. And yes, it is a reptile tank...I got a steal on it...even with my oldest daughter cracking one side and having to replace that, I still got a steal on it. I am now wishing I have a 40 or 50g kicking around...found someone who wants to trade a 90g with everything for a 40 or 50. A 90g would be great for Cockoo-Loca and the sharks! Hmmmm...wonder if they'd accept 2 15g's and a 10g! lol
