Moonlight Effect

[paulthegreat]

I have been wanting to do a moonlight effect on my 500 liter since before I had it set up. I came up with a great way to do it and went out looking for the stuff. It took me several weeks to find the stuff but when I did it was super simple and cheap! I bought a strand of 80 blue diode Christmas lights streached tham out and re-wound them in four foot lengths. I then just put them under the lights and over the cover glass at lights out and Wallah moon light effect. The 80 diode lights are just about enought for the 500 liter, I would have liked to have 100, but hey once the old peepers adjust I can see just about the whole bottom and all of the top. Hope there are some others out there that can get a thrill out of this idea.

I think I would need to get a better camera for anything to show up other then a bunch of little blue dots. I also have not gotten up and running on how to post pictures, sorry just have not had the time If I ever do get going on that though I will probably end up posting a hundred pics.
