could you elaborate on the use of the heatsink. i.e are you actually mounting the LEDs right in it or are you just going to use it for heat disappation. If you are going to use it for heat disappation you could look into getting a few heatsinks from a computer store and mount them with some thermal compound. if you are looking for aluminum just let me know the exact size and i will see what i can do? I used to be a welder and still have a few friends out there.

Well the whole process gets a little expensive but looks cool. First go to pricess auto and grab two air drive pistons. The length ranges from 2" to about 17" and cost anywhere from $5-$30, next you have to grab a throttle valve(this helps control the spped in which the pistons move, wihtout this you risk blowing out your pistons) and costs about $6 and then finally grab the acutator, you will only need the actuator if you want it to be air driven in both directions up and down, Cost $79. Sorry the pistons will have to be a dual port, in order to drive it both directions. After all that I went to canadian tire and purched a cheap 120v air pump to run the whole system. Princess auto has an entire display to show the full operation, and you will find this located in the hydraulics section. Hope this helps.

In response to your posting have you ever considered air actuators? they carry them at princess auto little expensive but the work awsome and sound really cool. I used a pair to lift a large LCD monitor out of a desk(geeky stuff I know)

Just curious if anybody knows anything about the Jebo182 skimmer, A friend has one and he seems to like it but i like to hear multiple opinions.

Good evening everyone. My name is marc buckner and I currently live in clagary. I am a beginner aquarist and have only been at this for a little over a year now. I currently have a 150 gallon tank with overflow running a 20 gallon sump. This is the lovely home of 20 various cichlids and a few catfish, oh and one really friendly bala shark. Anyways I have recently emabarked on a journey towards salt water and I am really enjoying it so far, I have been reading this site for about a 2 weeks and have gained some priceless knowledge and I hope to learn lots more. Anyways I look forward to meeting you all in the forums so good-bye for now.
