Hi guys and gals,
I need your help. I have a Fluval 3D Edge which is running fine. Unfortunately I managed to damage the built in lighting system (by adding a wrong lamp); now it is not working anymore. I removed the system all together and am in search of an alternative lighting solution for this tank.
The tricky thing is that the tank has a small top that needs to stay on it as it looks much better that way (part of the design; otherwise you are looking directly into the pump/filter).
The only place where I can put the lighting is at the top of the opening.
The width of the aquarium opening is 18,5cm and the height of the cover is 9cm. I could place a small led solution within this but it cannot be taller than 9cm and also not wider than 18,5 cm (otherwise the lit will not fit).
This is the aquarium.
http://www.hagen.com/pdf/aquatic/Fluval_EDGE.pdfDo you guys know of a solution that would fit proper? I've seen these standard LED solutions, but those might not fit.
I am also considering bringing the current Fluval lighting system to an electrician. I tried contacting Fluval, but they do not reply anymore. I bought the tank (new) from someone at Lowyat, but he doesn't sell them anymore.
Does anyone know where to find an electrician who could take a look at the lighting solution of the Fluval tank? Any place you know of near Mid Valley? Do let me know.
Right now I am using a regular lamp to light up the tank....plants are still doing fine as there is also enough outside light...the fish I have are a bit more hidden nowadays...
Any help is appreciated!
