There was a news article today, on Yahoo, about some group learning to make LEDs as a very thin sheet, so they could be used as a contoured tail light for a car, or an advertising sign on a bus, right over the windows, since they are so thin you can see through them. Of course, my mind wandered off to thinking about covering the sides of an aquarium with such a LED film, so you look through the lights to see the tank.

But, back to the real world, my LED fixture just keeps on working. I'm now running it only at the low light setting on the switch, since I'm trying to convert the plants to growing in a low tech, low light environment. No CO2 now either. I plan to use the fixture on a 65 gallon tank to be set up as a riparium in a few weeks.
