Donโt know how you got the username.
Poelidor innit?
He looks like Mathieu van der Poel.
6B all the way for sketching
Take a pic of the small print with your phone then enlarge it on the screen, I find Iโm having to do this more and more often these days and the phone to be a very helpful tool.
Good tip, I have occasionally done so, and have also used a phone to take a photo of the back of equipment to figure out which socket/input is which when I donโt want to remove it from a rack/table but there isnโt enough room to see.
Hereโs the best 30cm led light for an aquarium or terrarium. Twinstar 300S IV. Just arrived today. In fact itโs so new that Iโm the first consumer in the UK to have one. Not in the shops yet. It doesnโt just have the rgbw leds, it has revolutionary new orange ones to give a fuller, wider light spectrum. Itโs alright having rgb, but if it just produces peaks of the primary colours, itโs not doing a proper job. It needs to be full, wide rgbw.
This is to be used on a terrarium, (Dennerle nano cube with moulded white glass and not jointed, which is the best 30cm terrarium) Iโm putting together to house the best and rarest heliamphora, flamingo.
Brings back memories.
I had a nano reef back in the early 2000s.
I was using a 20k metal halide bulb then moved on to a Kessil Tuna Blue point source LED. Great for shimmer.
Nice. Didnโt know what you meant regarding shimmer, but Googled it and that was an interesting light.
Set this simple nano tank up a month ago for my marimos.
Nice.
Now Iโm thinking of setting up a FOWLR nano tank. Its been over 15 years I think.

If you do, please post info that youโre doing on it, as Iโm getting more into this subject.
Does it have a disco mode?
No, but this ingenious little programmable dimmer lets you set the light intensity from 1-100% at different times of day, so you can recreate natural dawn/dusk and peaking at midday. At about 9pm, itโs on at a very low 1% and glows very atmospheric. Other dimmers allow you to adjust the individual rgbw colour leds too. Interesting subject.
By pure chance, I visited someoneโs house 3 years ago and he had the most amazing coral only aquarium. As the evening draws in, the lights go dimmer and the coral react by changing and glowing the most stunning colours. Turned out he was very well known in the aquarium world. Iโll do that one day.
I confess loving crisps that take the top layer of your tongue off.
But these mild ones are just delicious.
Like @HungryHalibut , Iโm a big fan of Original BTC - a British company who make wonderful lighting. Iโve had some wall lights in the bedroom for a while but have just picked up one of their โPebbleโ lights for the hallway. 36 porcelain โpebblesโ made in Stoke-on-Trent and then attached to a frame. The pix donโt quite do it justice but it is a thing of beauty:
These are the wall lights which have porcelain shades made in Stoke:
That Pebble light is just beautiful. Our ceilings are too low to accommodate one, fortunately for my wallet! We have nine of the Hector wall lights around the house, a Hector Bibendum table lamp, two pleated ones on our bedside tables, two Fin lights in the sitting room and a pair of triple aluminium ceiling lights in the kitchen. If you want more, ring Original BTC directly, turn on the charm, ask nicely and you should get a 20% discount. Hardly anyone calls apparently, but they like to hear from customers directly and the discount is most welcome.
