Hi to all admin and membres of this forum!

I'm new here and I'm from Mexico then sorry for my baaad english

I'm trying to make a cool lamp holder for my aquarium with a lot o
imagened features like
A Lamp made combining Blue and Whit LEDs like this
http://img223.echo.cx/img223/5544/led01.jp
Powered with 120V using this project
http://www.discovercircuits.com/PDF-FILES/NewPDF/acwhiteleds.pd
May be add an effect dimming just the Whit LEDs for a moonlight effec
for fish sleep time, thats would be cool

Long dimming when turn ON and OFF the Lamp to avoid stress to th
fish
using something like this
http://www.wcrl.ars.usda.gov/cec/papers/aesa83.ht
may can be mod and simplified for low power consumption

A Strip of 120V contacts to connect the Air and wather pump to be OF
pushing a switch, feed the fish and automaticly turn ON after 1
min
http://home.cogeco.ca/~rpaisley4/LM555Delays1.GI
May be I can use this with a relay

All switches made as Touch Activated like this

LCD Thermometer

with Thermostat

And a PH Meter

May be is a hard work project (almost for me?) but every help try t
unify all this concepts but talking in name of all fish hobbyst we'l
be thankful eternaly!

LEDs are quite expensive to buy in sufficient quantities for
illumination, and are less power efficient than the usual fluorescent
tubes. You may be better off using tubes with an electronic starter
which can be dimmed by a 0..10 V control voltage, which are commercially
available. I recently saw a nice project that used charging gold caps to
create the ramp.

In my experience you don't really need the airstone, at least in a
planted tank with not too many fishes.
