I have a few questions on LED lights. I have been looking into setting up a new tank for my desk. I sold off my Nano Wave 9 and I think its time to replace it. I have been looking at a bunch of nanos and I think that the Fluval Edge 9 is the tank I want. The stock lighting is 2 10W halogen bulbs. There are plenty of people changing the lighting online. Im just wondering if anyone on here has any input on some LED lighting. Im thinking of changing the halogens to MR11 leds and then adding some strip LEDs from http://www.superbrightleds.com - http://www.superbrightleds.com

Does anyone know of any type of water proof strip LEDS or anything that may work inside the small hood for this tank?

Thanks for any input or ideas

I'm going to order some LED's for my tank tomorrow (if a KSL sale i have goes through) you could probably come look at it this weekend or next week when I get it installed in my tank. Going 6 white 6 blue CREE XR-E Q5's
