One of the important points in an aquarium is its lighting. The light allows to observe the aquarium, thus allowing a good development of both fauna and flora.
It allows to enhance the colors of the fish / shrimps and the healthy growth of the plants.
The lighting I chose for this aquarium, did not bring the respective adaptation of the aquarium, it was an extra.
The extras are expensive, so I decided to adapt the led strip myself to the specific measures of this aquarium in question.
The support consists of 7 pieces, 6 M4 screws and 6 M4 nuts and 2 M3 screws and 2 M3 nuts.
The support is articulated "arms", thus allowing to adjust the height that is wanted from the led strip to the water line.
This allows a greater or lesser intensity of light, depending on the type of aquarium you want to set up.
Here are some photos of the final project.
Fig.1 - The back of the lighting stand.
Fig.2 - The front of the lighting stand.
Fig.3 - The side part of the lighting stand.
It's time to print it. It was printed in PLA at 0.2mm layer height, 100 % infill in all 7 parts. The nuts were inserted into the respective
parts and glued with super glue.
Here are some photos of the final piece and assembled on the aquarium.
