DIY Fuge Light

[gimincorp]

Hi,
I just put the light to the back of my fuge chamber.
Hopefully it will help the problem I was facing:
My biocube has a middle chamber that can be used as refugium. To allow the light into the chamber the black "tanning" on the back was scratched off. I didn't have a light source behind my tank which I think was the leading cause of my chaeto disintegrating. Since I'm on a constraint budget I decided to do the following DIY.

Parts and Tools:

• Two tubes of PC lights (those to light up the tower)
• 6V power supply
• 3 aluminum (silver) soda cans
• Paper (masking) tape
• My old vice (clamp?)
• PC empty slot cover (PCesc)
• Electric tape.

How I put it together:

1. First I attached the lights to the power supply
2. Then I attached with electric tape the lights to the PCesc.
3. As next step I put the vice behind the tank in front of the fuge
4. Nex I attached the PCesc with lights to the vice
5. Plugged in all of it in the outlet and voila - there was light!
6. Then I prepared the reflector:
   1. Cut the bottom off one can, top and bottom of another and top of the third one.
   2. Measured the hight of lights from vice to top.
   3. Connected cans together with masking tape
   4. Put the reflector through the can's opening onto the lights.
   5. Plugged the adapter into the outlet
   6. Voila - Let there be light!
