Want to make your water look blue?

[sunbot]

Hi i was at school today and we was working with perspecs in Product design.

So i thought if i got a blue peice of perspecs it would look good if i lay it on the ledges where the lid sits on the fish tank.So i asked my teacher and he said sure here take this piece so i did.
I got home and went in to my bedroom and layed it on the ledges yes it fitted
so i turned my light on and it looked amazing i unplued my light.After a while i went to look at it now it was a bit darker and my light bulb went in my tank so i didnt get to see it that good but its a cheap way to make water look blue.

What is perspecs?

I'm guessing it's some sort of translucent film.

Just wandering but i read that blue light tends to decrease the lifespan of the fish you are keeping and should only be used if for a few hours or so between the lights on and the lights off

Is this true

 

[ste2k3]

can't see it making much difference. UV light would definatly kill the fish-shortening its life span but not just blue light, after all, red light etc if filtered out at a few meters (don't ask how many) but most fish in the ocean live in "blue light" most of there lives.

red light etc if filtered out at a few meters (don't ask how many

For anyone who's interested: at 15 feet all the red light is absorbed.

I know how to make your tank look blue, put methodyne blue in it. I wish I never had, I was trying to treat my poor fish and so I added it (about 6 months ago) after 600 water changes my tanks now only stained blue
