Default lighting a bubblewall

Hi,

I want to create a bubblewall along the back of my aquarium and have it lit
beneath so that the bubble look to be carrying the light up the tank. Does
anyone know hoe to lit inside a tank from the bottom? I wondered if there
are LEDs you could use?

Thanks,

Sky.

Yes, there are underwater LED kits available. Basically an LED in a
small holder with a suction cup. They connect to an external power
module. I find them a bit pricey so you might shop around. You can hide
the LEDs on the tank sides pointing back towards the bubble wall, or if
you have some rocks, it's relatively easy to hide the LEDs in there. Not
all colours are equally effective. I find blue works well (esp. on light
coloured gravel) and so does red. I wasn't too impressed with the other
colours (yellow, green ..), but ymmv.
