Sunny days!

[Texreefer]

No, I don't have pics.... Sorry.. But getting really excited about the sun getting higher in the sky...wish I had a video camera
days like today with just a few clouds in the sky, it is so cool to watch the light fade and then suddenly reappear in a flash. looking down from above the color and quality of light is just like when i have gone snorkeling in the carribean.
Maybe Ace can get some video of this effect at some point this summer
I'm lovin the Bionic Reef right now!

[g-ray]

lol nice to hear Bud I bet its cool to look at

Did you go with the lighting tubes like Ace? If so, that's awesome, I must have missed that in your postings along the lines somewhere.

[Texreefer]

how much do they run ?? if you dont mind me asking

[Texreefer]

all depends on size(diameter), length of tubing required, if you install it or have it done, if you have to box out rafters, ETC.
Now, a straight run with about 8' of pipe doing it yourself could run you less than $400

mine was 16' straight without cutting any floor/ceiling joist or rafters (remember i had to go thru the 2nd floor). three 14"(13") tubes and all materials needed for $1300 shipped. mike and i installed em in a few hours.

[hobogato]

Was just curious and this may have been asked before, but does the light from these give off much heat. I would doubt it as it's more reflective than direct but just curious.

[Texreefer]

Almost ZERO heat

mike still runs a chiller since his tank is in the garage, but with my tank in the house, it stays right at 79 degrees all the time with no chiller.
