Re: great way to light a tank
I guess that shoots down the theory for all those who say to keep your tank away from direct sunlight because it causes excess algae.

Re: great way to light a tank
I'd say,it would be a lot more natural.With the clouds passing over and cloudy days.I can see where coral would do better.

Re: great way to light a tank
This isn't something new. Many coral farms are actually greenhouses and they use natural light. In fact, ORA corals are grown in a greenhouse using natural light supplemented by metal halides.
