RE: Cold Cathode Flourescents

["Hess, Clay A" <clay.a.hess@boeing.com>]

I am thinking that once you get the first one up and running you will have more 
power than you can readily consume in your fish room and will have to sell off 
the excess to California, similar to how we do that today with the 
HydroDams......oh, wait.......they may not be too anxious to repeat that again 
hunh?  But, if you get one up and running, you most certainly should be able to 
find a buyer of the excess electrons.  I think your roof will look great with a 
windmill.....brings back memories of my younger days traveling through Wyoming 
farmland.

Say, has anyone found a good way to build a canopy that hides all the 
backfilter equipment and contain the lighting as well?  I am looking for 
something that will work with the tank in the center of the room and not 
against a wall.  I also am not looking at drilling holes in the bottom of my 
tank either.
Just a thought.......would appreciate hearing from all who have seen various 
canopy designs.  If you have pics of it, that is a plus....please send the pics 
to my addy at clay.a.hess@boeing.com.....as the gsas-member list does not work 
with attached pics.

Thanx,

Clay

Maybe we should let them finish tinkering. :) But will they work on 
aquarium versions? And how much will they cost? I can't wait to get the 
wattage down on my fishroom, then I can install a windmill on the roof 
and get off the grid.
Ok, yeah right. It's good to dream though, right?
