im gonna need some way to light up the tanks because the the lights are gonna be over the basking area in the middle and the tanks are gonna be really dark. is there another solution this problem other then underwater lights. to avoid the numerous amount of wires already in the tank. sorry i should have posted this all at once. but i didnt think of it all at once.

haha I wasn't trying to make you look stupid.

I already saw that you tried to search it, I just think it's cooler than just giving you a link hahaha

no pun intended, hope you found what you were looking for.

well not necessarily underwater lights. just a way of lighting up the tanks. because im doing the L shaped tank with the two tanks connected by a atba. and its almost done and the lights are gonna be over the basking area obviously. Now theres going to be plexiglass walls around the tank. and i don't know how i can light up the tanks. mayb a little light that will clip on the plexi glass . but i dont know if the plexi glass will hold a light? im justl ooking for ways to light these tanks up during the day
