    Led lighting - Glue? Sticky tape?



    I'm thinking about buying an interpet double multi coloured lighting system for my 64l tank.
    I don't want to screw it on and I'm worried about glueing it incase I can't get it back off.
    Is there an aquarium safe double sided tape I can use?

    Hi Sara and welcome to fish-keeping.com

    Have you tried Self Adhesive Velcro Tape http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Self-Adhes...zNP56lHMX_yUhg

    Hi Gary, thank you

    I haven't tried it, I didn't want to order the lights until I knew there was an aquarium safe alternative to glue.
    So this will be ok to add to the hood, no adverse effects to the aquarium?

    no there should be no adverse effects to your aquarium

    I used it a few years ago on a marine tank hood I had in the front room holding up some TMC Led lights ....you do need to make sure that you clean any area that you stick this to, or it will fall off.

    What sort of tank do you have ? I know you say its a 64L

    It's a classica, it has an led strip built in but I feel the plants would benefit from a bit more light, plus my moonlight is one of those suction cup jobs that only hits one spot in the tank. I'd light a full strip.
    I'm changing it to a planted setup in a few days, my first time with this tank.

    It's a classica eco 60, you should be able to find it on Google know problem.
    I hadn't heard of it either, it was a 2foot jewel I had before.
    I got this one second hand from Gumtree, it was only the tank and the hood for sale

    I have a bit of a mix, 13 fish all together - I have a male betta, bumblebee platys, neons, rummy noses, electric blue rams, and a bulldog pleco. I also have a nerite snail, an elephant snail and some cherry shrimp.
