I made this light for my jbj rimless and it grew algae great in the rear compartment. I have since removed my fuge so i'm selling this light. It's built from a 10w ip65 red multichip floodlight led. I glued and painted a magnet cleaner to hold it up. Also wired it up with a 12v wall wart. Take it for $18 shipped.

How did that color grow the macro algae?
 
I actually got the idea from pot growers. :D I thought.. hey if that red spectrum grows them so well, it should grow my cheato well. And it did!
