yeah, my sister had one of those things where its got the nylon string things coming out of a base, and in the base "were" 4 blue LED's, which make the tips of the strings light up...anyways, i took that, and just kinda angled it over my water, so that it was shining from the very end to about...oh just past the middle. It was awsome, but since all the bulbs were in the same exact place, it didnt really light up much, other than the small area in the middle. So i wanna get another of them, and i think that'd be really cool...but if you have a powerhead or return that agitates the water's surface, then it really looks cool, as the led's light ripples on the sand and rocks and everything.
