hey everyone, been lurking since my last post. Anyhoo, I have an old vintage 7ft aluminum tree. Had it about four years. I have decided to add a color wheel this year. Could anyone provide info on the best brands, brightest, safest, etc? I see them available but don't have a clue as to which brands had the best performance. Thanks!

A color wheel is a motorized thing with a light bulb and disc of clear plastic divided into several sections, each a different color. You put it under the tree and the disc rotates over the light bulb and the tree turns blue, red, and green in turns. (It's for sparkly silver aluminum trees.)
There's probably at least one forum somewhere on the internet devoted to these, if not more.

I went through the exercise of trying to find one for my aluminum tree a few years back. Working vintage ones that aren't cracked are hard to come by. Amazon sells new ones, but have lousy reviews. I ended up getting a color changing LED bulb and use it in a spotlight I already had. Very cheap on ebay and no mechanical stuff to worry about breaking or catching fire (of course, that might be part of the appeal of a vintage one).

haha niceguy, you've got my number. The Elos Midi is in my top three aquariums to purchase but you can't buy just the tank and stand, you have to buy the entire setup that includes elos sump and skimmer. I only want the tank and stand because I already have a sump and skimmer. So I will be getting either the Elos 70 or the Elos Concept80. I can buy those with just tank and stand so better overall value for me plus both are larger then the Midi which means more room for livestock.
