think its cool to be able to see the fish at night. only way to see mine is to turn the lighting system back on.
where would one get lights like that? I think one of those well hidden in the back, down below would look great.
I live in a high rise condo. The living room with the 2 fish tanks do not contain any natural sunlight. I am not a morlock our bedroom is practically one gigantic window.
Since I run the timed daytime lights (and airstones) only 7 hours daily the only time I can physically see the fish are one hour on the weekday after work and a short time on the weekends. Without the L.E.D.s the fish tanks are plain black unless you have the eyes of a cat or if you are The Predator.
The nighttime lights provide enjoyment for ME to actually see the fish. I bought them from Petsmart they are Marina Lights. You basically buy a base unit stored outside the tank and then you can purchase your own spotlights.
Red for nocturnal
Blue is simulated moonlight
White/neutral is a low level white light
Green enhances a well planted tank, the tank will look like a painting more than a fish tank.
The fish are not bothered with the lights in fact it brings out a lot of their colors and I think submersible lights are a great way to showcase your tank if have them placed in a low light environment.
If my living room had alot of lights in it (and a windows) I probably would not even have made the purchase.
