Have you ever needed to light your fish tank with Chinese LEDs? No? Well, here's how. I'm sure the information will be incredibly useful. In any case, maybe you'll learn about how to use these new-fangled diodes of light.
The music used in this video is entitled "Floaters" by Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions. It is available for free from the YouTube Audio Library.
Here are some eBay links:

"thermal adhesive paste"
Information on new tank cycling:
This video is from a YouTube channel that has some great aquarium content. I learned much of what I know from Evan.

I've had great luck dosing my tank with pure ammonia. Ace Hardward sells "Janitorial Strength Ammonia" which has no additives. This works really well, but the stuff is nasty. Real nasty. Anyway, here's a link to a website going over that process:
