Kritter Keeper light?

I've been wondering the same thing but there arn't a lot of reviews on them on any site

I actually took the light from this (had one when I didn't know much about Bettas):

And made it fit on my Kritter Keeper, I removed the plastic viewing thingy that is on the lid of the Kritter Keeper and just bent the light so it fit sideways! I'll try and get you a picture of it, I stink at explaining stuff. It works awesome!

Yeah, that's the problem I'm having - can't find any reviews for it. I'm a little worried that it might not be rated for use as an aquarium light, and is intended for reptiles and other small animals normally kept in a KK. I'd hate to get the thing and then find that it's not going to work with the evaporation from a fish tank. :-/

I thought about doing something similar with a plain desk lamp -- leave the plastic viewing window on the KK and just angle a lamp over the top to direct the light. But, like I say, I'm trying to save on desk space, so I'm trying to find another option first. Maybe I'll just break down and get another 5-gallon Walmart special. Hard to beat 30 bucks for a 5-gallon tank with a full hood.

I'm doing the desk lamp thing for now but may just try the kritter keeper light eventually

Yeah, for 12 bucks it might be worth the experiment.

Heh -- it's crazy that the WM 5-gallon is actually cheaper than some 2- and 3-gallon tanks I've seen. :shock:

This is the one -- I have one already, but may need to just go ahead and get another. They're pretty nice for the price. I would just buy it, but there's the trying to save desk space thing. ;-)

I used my bed as a desk and used my desk as the fish tank stand lol

LOL, that's one solution! :lol:
