Welcome back guys, if you want to install some underwater LED lights in your
aquarium with some aeration system like the one you can see now with the bubble
wall effect then this video is for you. Hang around for a while and I'll take
you through a step-by-step process of how I install these lights and what supplies
would you need if you want to install the same lights. It's not a DIY project
I found these these lights on eBay. I believe it cost me just over 50 bucks
Not sure exactly, but it was somewhere between 50 to 55 bucks with free
shipment. There are various sizes available from different supplier and the size i have bought
is 102 centimeters. So obviously the smaller the size the cheaper it will be.
The product looks really solid and the box was labeled as fragile and I don't see
any damage to the item. It comes with a really handy control to turn ON the
lights or turn it OFF, change the settings, change the light color. Which I'll show
you in the end of this video. It also comes with suction cups that you can use to
mount the light bar to the bottom of the aquarium or anywhere you want to do and
comes with air tube and also a user manual, which I didn't bother reading. The reason
I bought this product is because of the underwater lights which is bit different
to most of the aquariums that have overhead lights. And the other main
reason is the aeration system like the bubble will come out from the entire
length of the item, not like having an air stone in the corner of an aquarium or
couple of air stones in the aquarium. So it's more evenly distributed air bubbles
you can have a close look at the lights if you can see it right next to the LED
lights, there are some holes that's where the bubbles would come out from.
Installing the lights is really easy, I've used three suction cups, two in the
corners and one in the middle. But I just have to be careful so the suction
cups, as it goes over the product, so it doesn't block the light or the hole for
the air bubbles. I've cut the air tube in half and connected one piece to one
end of the product and the other piece to the other end of the product.
Other ends of the air tubes are connected to Aqua One (Precision 9500) air
pump with a total capacity of 400 liter an hour. Since its twin outlet so each
outlet has a cap of 200 liter an hour. You can go with a higher air pump but I
won't recommend anything lower. The higher the cap obviously the faster the
bubbles. No check valve is installed at this stage but that's something I'll
definitely do in future. Just to be on the safe side. This is the handy control
I mentioned earlier and it's a lot easier for me because I don't have to go
to the switch board to turn the lights ON or OFF. I can just grab the control and
use the control. Also I can select any setting I wanna choose, it could be
smooth, fade or flashing light effect and I can select any color
I wanna select. Trust me it looks really good in real, it doesn't look that great
on the camera and the brightness you can see just above the lights are just a
reflection from the glass of the aquarium. if you have enjoyed watching
