Stip LEDs for a fish room

I'd like to find a cheap row of led lights I could use for my fish room. Mostly for making a video as I run finnex lights, but wouldn't mind some night time leds for the fish.

Anyone got any successful things they've done? Ideally they'd be cheap, and water resistant. And easy to plug and play. I'll post up anything I find here as well.

I think something like this might be decent. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009TDLU9Y/?tag=wafishbox-20

I have a diy led strip i made from
http://www.amazon.com/dp/SUPERNIGHT/?tag=wafishbox-20

I haven't had much luck growing plants with it but it does keep my low light plants alive. I got the 5050 rgbww water proof. I'll snap some pics tomorrow when the lights are on. One thing to note is you have to peel off the thin crappy double side tape it comes with and use 3m tape.

No idea why the link isnt working, search

I think those are the best way, I've been running across the 16ft strips of water/weather proof leds on amazon for as little as $12 with power supply and controller (RGB). They even have adhesive on the backs and you can cut it to length I believe (Every 3 leds or so). I ordered one to play with the other day, I'll have to post some results when I get it.

I have alot of expirience with the led light strips on my tanks. I used six 16.5 foot strips on my 448g tank. It lit it up just fine but it was not enouph light for val of java to grow. With this kit you can change the color and even dim the lights. Every other light is white and they stay white. The other ones are the colored ones, these you can change the colors. You can controll the white and the colored ones indavidually. The white just dim but the colored ones dim, change color, flash, blink, fade and a bunch of other stuff. There awsome. I have had the above my tank for for 2 years now and all the led's still work :)
