"Filtering" aquarium light?

Thanks for the link!! Of course I JUST ordered from them the other day :duh: !! So, it doesn't say that those are floating plants, do they come with any kind of base and you just don't use it? It looks like you only have one type in each of your tanks, do you have more than one piece in each tank? And do they move around the surface, or stay in one place for the most part?

These beautiful giant plants gently billow with water movement and pool at the water's surface. :duh: OOOPS!!

I try, to some degree, to limit the different types of plant representatives in my tanks, I feel it looks a little better that way.

To give you perspective, the first photo is a 30g tank, and there is 1 Giant Asparagus plant floating in it. The second tank is a 55g with two Giant Bamboo and 1 Philodendron vine. The third photo down is a 75g with 8 Philodendron vines, and the last tank is a 210g with 10 Giant Asparagus.

The bases come off very easily (and go back on), so I remove them for the surface plants. The only tank where the plants moved constantly was the 210g, so I secured 2 of the plants to the lid with some 50lb monofilament and the entire mass stopped turning.

Let me know if I can answer anymore questions.
 
I actually painted my blub blue then removed my the paint partially unil I got the right amount of light. I have serpae tetras and they love the lower level of light. They used to hide all day under the plants now they are out most of the time. :-)
