    Natural Sunlight tanks

    I love the bowl tank that is just off the hook . And the fact that you are lighting it with a solar tube is even better . Looks like the light reaches through that big tank just fine . Now I am really leaning towards natural lighting over my reef . I think when the full moon is out the...

    I will keep you posted on how it goes . If nothing else the way I am looking at this is : Experimentation :-) If it doesn't work out for the reef I will use it to make a grow area for my house plants :-) Only have 1 south facing window in this silly house . I am hoping that it makes...
