Need Supplemental Light...

[nanoreefer22]

I need a way to add supplemental lighting to my tank, just for some extra viewing time. This would be easy, but with an open top tank and my pendant hanging, there's no way (at least that I've thought of) that I could add light and have it not look out of place.

Does anyone have an suggestions/ideas on how to add a bulb to an open top tank for a few more hours of viewing?

Maybe I could add a few white LED's around the end of the tank to give me a little adding light?

Just looking for some ideas, cheaper the better preferably.

ive seen LED's wrapped around the inside the top of the tank where you couldnt even see it looked very nice, i believe they came from wingo and they are on Daaznmofo(justin)'s tank

Exactly that

That looks really cool. How did he attach them to the rim? I've got a AGA tank, so it has that black trim around the top.

Glue

That makes it even easier. Now what type of glue would create a bond strong enough and not contaminate the water?
