An amply lighted mini aquarium can give a room a visual mystique or calm. Generally, most fish tanks&#x2019; most significant issue is their price tag, especially if you add lights to the equation. In contrast, you can save some money by adding your lighting. All you need is a bit of skill and knowledge. Once again, your friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/ledask.com\/\">OURPCB<\/a> have got you covered. This guide will show you how to add DIY aquarium and reef lights to your fish tank. &#xA0;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-make-diy-led-aquarium-lights%25c2%25a0\">How to Make DIY LED Aquarium Lights<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-led-aquarium-lights%25c2%25a0\">What Are LED Aquarium Lights?<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lighting can add something special to your setup, whether you plan to customize a freshwater or saltwater aquarium. While the primary purpose for aquarium lighting is more decorative than it is pragmatic, it can still help you feed your pets in the dark. If you have nocturnal fish, it can provide a bit of lighting. Additionally, something meditative about gazing at your fish or plants in a dim room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some worry that aquarium lights may be bad for fish. Indeed, they are not. Lighting options include incandescent (using incandescent bulbs), standard fluorescent, compact fluorescent, T-5 HO, VHO metal halide, and LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the other options, LED lights are small, energy-efficient, and the best option for freshwater tanks. As you will discover in the rest of this guide, they are also relatively easy to use. &#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"materials-and-tools%25c2%25a0\">Materials and Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48921\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can start building your custom LED aquarium lights, you will need the materials and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>QT Py <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourpcb.com\/fpga-vs-microcontroller.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">microcontroller<\/a> x 1<\/li><li>Adafruit NeoPixel LED dots strand &#8211; 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourpcb.com\/types-of-leds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">LEDs<\/a> at 2&#8243; pitch x 1<\/li><li>2-pin connector x 1<\/li><li>3-pin connector x 1<\/li><li>Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED strip &#8211; black PCB 144 LED\/m x 1<\/li><li>Extension wire ribbon cable x 1<\/li><li>Clear heat shrinks<\/li><li>Copper tape x 1<\/li><li>On\/Off Switch x 1<\/li><li>USB C Cable x 1<\/li><li>Solder-seal wire connectors<\/li><li>Hammer<\/li><li>&#xBE;&#x201D; cable staples<\/li><li>Heat gun<\/li><li>Soldering iron with solder<\/li><li>Hot glue gun<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the above tools and materials, you will need aquarium accessories such as gravel, colored glass, plants, and seashells. These are not compulsory; they are just lovely to have. However, to follow these steps, you&#x2019;ll also need a basic understanding of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/blog\/pcb-soldering-process.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">soldering process<\/a>. &#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-make-an-led-light-for-an-aquarium%25c2%25a0\">How do you make an LED light for an aquarium?<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have all your materials and tools, you can begin constructing your very own DIY aquarium led lights using the following steps: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1%25c2%25a0%25c2%25a0\">Step 1&#xA0;<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Install the necessary software and load it onto the QT Py microcontroller. You will need to install the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Main\/Software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Arduino IDE<\/a>, Adafruit Board Support for QT Py, and a few critical Arduino libraries, including FastLED, Adafruit_FreeTouch, and, Adafruit_NeoPixel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up Arduino&#x2019;s software should be easy, but you can follow <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-arduino-ide-setup\/arduino-1-dot-6-x-ide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">their installation guide<\/a> to minimize any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/leds-circuit-board.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">need to set your QT Py board<\/a> up. For instructions on how to do so, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-qt-py\/arduino-ide-setup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Adafruit&#x2019;s QT Py Arduino IDE tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install the libraries, you will need the Arduino Library Manager. You must select &#x2018;Include Library&#x2019; from the &#x2018;Sketch&#x2019; menu and then select &#x2018;Manage Libraries.&#x2019; For more details, you can read about installing additional Arduino libraries from Arduino&#x2019;s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can then search for libraries by name. Once you find a library, click on install. Find and install the FastLED, Adafruit_FreeTouch, and Adafruit_NeoPixel Libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides\/blob\/master\/Neopixel_Aquarium\/Neopixel_Aquarium.ino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Neopixel Aquarium code<\/a>. Open the code file using the Arduino IDE (select &#x2018;Open&#x2019; from the File menu). Next, connect the QT Py microcontroller to your computer using a USB cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, click on the &#x2018;Tools&#x2019; menu, select &#x2018;Boards,&#x2019; and then click on the Adafruit QT Py option. Again, select the Adafruit QT Py microcontroller from the &#x2018;Port&#x2019; menu item under Tools.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3nbsp\">Step 3 <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In this section, you&#x2019;ll wire your microcontroller to the Neopixel RGB LED strip. First, connect A1 to DIN, 5v to +5v, and G to G. Finally, you&#x2019;ll need to run a lengthy wire from the microcontroller&#x2019;s A2 and A3 for the on and off switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you complete this step, it should look like this <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/qzt7t6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4\">Step 4<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Connect the 3-pin connector to the microcontroller. Start by soldering the left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourpcb.com\/wire-bonding.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">wire connecting<\/a> to G, the correct wire to 5v, then the middle wire to A1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, connect your 2-pin connector to the microcontroller. It would help if you soldered it to the A2 and A3 pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that&#x2019;s done, take the red, black, and white wires from the Neopixel strip and solder them to the 3-pin connector&#x2019;s male side. The white wire connects to A1, black to G and red to 5v.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take two long single wires and solder each to a pin of the male 2-pin connector. They must be sufficiently long to extend to your copper switch pads. Finally, connect your microcontroller to the 2-pin connector.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5\">Step 5<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You will need to waterproof the setup by sealing both ends of the Neopixel strand using the heat shrinks. Additionally, you can use solder seal connectors with silicone-stranded wire to waterproof your underwater connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Once you waterproof all the conductible components, you can hook the entire setup to your aquarium using wire staples. Importantly, your microcontroller powers your lights, but it needs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourpcb.com\/raspberry-pi-poe-hat.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">connect to a USB power<\/a> source.<\/p> <p>&#xA0;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"diy-aquarium-light-kit%25c2%25a0\">DIY Aquarium Light Kit<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>You should create and test your DIY LED aquarium light kit using the above steps. Whether you implement it in the aquarium&#x2019;s lid or run it through the reefs and rocks of the aquarium floor is up to you. Thus, you have some flexibility in following the steps and using the aquarium lights. &#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-diy-change-color-led-aquarium-lights%25c2%25a0\">How to DIY Change Color LED Aquarium Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Depending on what type of light strip you use, you can manually change the colors in several ways. For instance, the NeoPixel LED dots strand allows you to change colors by squeezing the non-wired ends or connecting a switch or touchpad. However, if you want to switch between colors automatically, the best way, as evidenced by this guide, is to use a microcontroller. &#xA0;<\/p> <p>&#xA0;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-are-the-diy-led-aquarium-lights-not-working%25c2%25a0\">Why Are the DIY LED Aquarium Lights Not Working?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to ensure that you plug in and solder all necessary connectors. If you are running your DIY LED lights using a microcontroller, ensure that your code is uploaded and running correctly on the board. Furthermore, make sure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/led-accessories.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">LED light strip<\/a> is not faulty. &#xA0;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs%25c2%25a0\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-led-lights-good-for-aquariums%25c2%25a0\">Are LED lights good for aquariums??<\/h4>\n\n\n<p><p>LED lights are harmless and will not affect plants or fish in an aquarium. However, they can help you see your aquatic pets better and help you regulate their sleep patterns. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-many-led-bulbs-are-best-for-a-planted-aquarium%25c2%25a0\">How many LED bulbs are best for a planted aquarium?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p><p>It depends on the size of the aquarium. Typically, people use between 1.5 and 5.0 watts of lighting for every 3 liters of aquarium space. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-best-light-spectrum-for-aquarium-plants%25c2%25a0\">What is the best light spectrum for aquarium plants?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p><p>The best light spectrum for aquarium plants includes at least 50% red light at 630 to 700 nm.
