Ok for my 75 gallon tank I was planning on buying Marineland LED lights. Those are $200 and well, I was walking around Lowes lookin for something completly different and I happen to pass the lighting section and see this 48 inch color changing w/ remote LED light strip for $40! It has a flash mode where it flashes 15 diffrent colors or you can choose what color you want to have on. The remote controles everything, on/off, Changing colors, lighting modes I knew I had to get it . And it is AWSOME! I totally recommend this to everyone 100% at nightime I turn the lights blue. And at daytime I keep it to the white light. It has a whole lot more colors including blue, red, green, yelow, teel, purple and even Pink! It also has a dimmer so the lights can be super bright or Dim. If you guys are intrested in buying it its called Sylvania Mosaic. And its a starter kit too. Sorry the pics arent the best but it looks a whole lot better in person! :D you can probably buy it on Amazon too!

Looks good. Thanks! Now to convince the wife we need extra lights. Lol
 
Lol yep! And if you have a tank longer than 4 ft they sell expansion strips also that connect easily to the 4 ft light strip. Which is a plus! :)
 
I bought some similar to these on eBay for around $30. A 16 ft. Strip of waterproof led with remote and power source. I hot glued them to the inside of my canopy. IMO they look pretty awesome for the money. Saving a buck is always good, especially these days. Anyone interested, make sure to order the 5050's not the 3528's. The 5050 are much brighter.
 
This light strip also has a peel back sticky side so that you dont have to hot glue them to things you can just stick it on and it wont come off.

The ones I bought did also, I'm just paranoid that they would fall in and I would have a unplanned fish fry. Lol! Your tank looks great BTW.
 
Lol that makes sense. And your tank looks awsome too. Mine looks like it was done by a 10 year old lol! But its still a work in progress. I hope to be adding some stones and rocks and maybe a diffrent color gravel,
