Hey guys and gals I'm in the process of starting up a 10gallon nuvo fusion to show off my shrooms. I got a steal of a deal on the tank with light. I would like to go all blue with the light fixture if possible, I took it apart and looks to be just simple solder connections. Has anyone done this before? Is it as easy as it looks? How about a source for LEDs? Thanks

Well it is possible. I found out that they are common egg shaped 3 watt LEDs . I ordered a UV 395-405NM to replace one of the whites. Removing the solder connections was no problem but that glue they use to attach the led to the board was a nightmare. Took 30 minutes prying, scraping and pulling but it finally came off . Now to decide what other colors I'm replacing.
