    Default Sunny days!

    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!

    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.

    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
