Hello all,
I'm building out a reef tank and after reading several posts and books it seems the two biggest issues are nutrient export and lighting. I've recently stumbled across a new company that is offering something called sunlight direct. Essentially it is a dish that one mounts outside that collects lights and feeds it inside your home via fiber optic cables. It's essentially a solar collector. In their words the idea is to "To capture sunlight and distribute it, using optical fibers, into the interior of a building to provide premium quality, controllable lighting capable of reducing energy consumption." Their website is http://www.sunlight-direct.com/overview.html. Does anyone see a problem with this idea? The downside is that during the winter months (at least in the US anyway) the hours during which the sun will be up and the time during which I'm home doesn't coincide as much as I would like but I hear that fish (and really all animals) become healthier under the sun. Any thoughts? |
